This is just a quick review I'm going to create about Steam (made by Valve).
How expensive can having an account get?
--If you buy games the second you find them, very. I would try to limit yourself on how often you buy games and how soon you buy them after release. Games are usually $10-$50 on there, sometimes more depending on the game.
How often does it crash?
--I personally have never had it physically crash yet, but I have had my connection to the Steam server crash quite a bit.
How often does it just not work?
--About 99.9% of the time. The only time it doesn't work is when it's user-error, such as stopping certain services that support Executable files.
Is it frustrating? Confusing? Difficult?
--It takes a while to get used to if you've never used it before and are used to other programs such as Xfire (Chat only). Otherwise, it's extremely easy to use.
Does it reduce the fun-ness of games?
--Personally, I think not.
