  1. Online distribution is the way of the future by csbrooks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The whole idea with Steam, and online distribution in general, is to put control back in the hands of developers, and take it away from distributors. Why should Best Buy or WalMart get to decide what games we can buy?

    Cut out the middleman, and let the market choose.
