Would You Pay for Steam?

Posted by Cliff on from the in-the-eventualiity-of-a-subscriber-model dept.

dasmurf asks: "Many users have discussed this possibility. Now that Steam has pioneered the biggest online game delivery system to date, is it as simple as that? Read my concerns about the Steam Subscriber Agreement. Has anyone else read this agreement? Should Valve change it? If you love Valve's games but you've never religiously kept an eye on your credit card statement, maybe this will give you more reason. ;)"

    I suppose, yes, I would pay for steam, if the price was right. Obviously, anybody can set a teapot to boil, but that steam condenses pretty readily. I would rather pay for some high-pressure dry steam that could cut a broom handle in half at two meters. I'd pay big bucks for that, 'cause it would be awesome.
