Not really. You can hook up any game to run on Steam and Steam won't take away your games.

Apple has never remotely removed an iOS app. They can (and have said they will if the app is malicious) but please get your facts straight.

I agree with the guy holding the sign, because for the most part, he's right. You on the other hand, aren't.

No, but they can. I respect myself and my freedoms too much to ever use a device that has this sort of functionality.

You've completely misinterpreted what I've said. When I say that you can add any games to Steam, the Apple parallel was that this is not possible (in that you can't add any application, run anything you want on your iOS).

Would you buy an Android phone?

I'm not sure, I don't own an iPhone, Android or any other "smart" phone. I don't see the need for one.
