Not just Steam and EA Link, and not just games. How many software products have you purchased online and downloaded?
Just trying to gauge how popular online distribution is at the moment, personally, I think its the first step towards a rich future where hundreds of individual developers create, market, and distribute their own software online, circumventing the modern incarnation of a publisher entirely.
For myself:
H&R Block Tax Software bought online and DLed direct from H&R Block
From Steam
Medieval 2: Total War
CS: Source
HL2
DoD: Source
Possibly Jade Empire:SE and The Longest Journey by the end of the month
From EA Link
Black and White 2: Battle of the Gods
