The time is different per person too, depending on tech-savvy-ness. Pain-in-the-butt-ness also is dependent from person to person. Even price is not a constant if you consider coupons, discounts and price drops.
True enough. After all, I like the features provided for me by Steam (cataloging, cloud, achievements, friends, etc.), so what some would consider a cost (in terms of DRM) I would consider a benefit.
