What happens to all those that play the likes of Magicka Wizard Wars & all the other F2P games.
What about them? They can still play their games in the same way they could if they hadn't gotten it on Steam?

Wizard Wars does require Steam but most FTP do not. So basically only those that play FTP games that are only available on Steam and have never bought anything on Steam. I'd say that's a pretty negligible number.

Sending friend invites
Met many folk through games, how can they arrange a nights of gaming or see when anyone/everyone is online if they can`t do this simple thing?

Opening group chat
The same, how can they all coordinate/let all know ready to play etc?
(does this also extend to steam` voice chat?)

Posting frequently in the Steam Discussions
How often is frequent? Steam discussions is also used to pass bugs onto devs or solving problems in game etc

Using browser and mobile chat
Same as above.

Shaaka: Well for me, this is utter bull shit, i do buy games from steam(only for some that i desperately wants to play), but never on steam directly since they dont take paypal, and i'm not willing buy directly using CC even if i can.

That's pretty much why i choose GoG over steam and of course due to DRM free does not make me need to login to play my games.

synfresh: Steam doesn't take Paypal? News to me since I always pay with Paypal.
Indeed. Steam has accepted Paypal for as long I remember.

Same way people did it in every MMO aside the ones on Steam? If anything the Steam ones have extra features, but they're hardly necessary. Are they a convenience? Sure, but not required. Besides, if F2P users (for example) are used to anything it's paying for more convenience. (Not to mention you're not actually paying for it since you can buy something else you might want with that money rather than just pay to be able to use those features)
