In theory, it's a great idea. Just don't ask the hundreds of thousands of users what their opinion of the service was last Weds nite (4.6.05) when Steam pushed out an update, & everyone who updated (everyone... yes, everyone) immediately experienced any number of ridiculous bugs. Bugs like: throwing a grenade in CS:S caused your session to immediately disconnect.
Shortly thereafter, the Steam forums were FILLED with threads with titles like, "What have you done?!?" or, "horrible names bug in new release." Just search the forums ahref=http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumd isplay.php?s=&forumid=37http://forums.steampowered .com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=37> on that date...
Great idea, but definitely needs ironing out. I guess someone's got to be the BETA tester, I just wish I wasn't him in a case where I had to pay $50 for the product 1st.
