I did it because I'm logged into Steam whenever I'm on my PC. I'm a member of a pretty active group and am in the Steam group chatroom there 100% of the time. I enjoyed having FF14 show up on my Steam Account with no "add non-steam game" work required. Add in the screenshot management and it just . I also have a forum sig I use on some places that shows what I'm currently playing on steam as well as showing the 2-week metrics that steam keeps on official steam games (it doesn't track any historical playtime for non-steam games).

It wasn't a critical need, but it was a fair number of little convenience and presentation features. Add in that the base game was just $20 and it was pretty easy to go for it.
