Valve Games Still On Store Shelves

Posted by Zonk on from the in-case-you-were-worried dept.

Valve has announced that despite its recent break with Vivendi Universal Games, games boxes will remain on store shelves after the August breakup. From the article: "The news will mollify retailers who feared that a recent legal settlement between Valve and VU Games, which will see VU Games withdrawing all of its Valve-created products from August 31st, could signal a move to online-only distribution for the firm's products."

    You mean that I don't have to goto the mall anymore to buy games? What have I lost here? I'm only seeing this as a good thing.

    yes you can make a backup of your game. I did it quite successfully when I moved to a new hdd.

    It was actually better than installing again from the original discs because all the latest updates were already in it, whereas when installing from disc I would have had to wait for the updates to re-download
