Why does Arma requires Steam?

[Domkrat 1]

Hello. I wanted to ask, why does Arma requires Steam? Why does BIS made it on Steam?

I had and still have LOT of problems with Steam and i heard, many people don't like Steam too.

So why?

No, a non-Steam version won't happen.

I had zero problems with Steam so far. When the Alpha ends I intend to make a pool about it.
