You can't say one thing and then do the other.
If you take the stance of the "Open-Source" fence-sitters, who say "It's great if it's 'open-source', but it's alright if it's proprietary- in an ideal world, though, all software would be open." If you take that position, nothing will change, and proprietary software will continue to dominate the Free Software movement. It's hypocritical to champion freedom and then tell users that Steam's alright. I'm reminded of Mozilla's hypocrisy about the HTML5 DRM- they always champion an 'open web', then do the opposite.
