It is hoped that the deal will help boost sales of Darwinia, and the profile of Introversion Software, which has been struggling against the 'big boys' of the industry."

Youve got it wrong

I hate steam as well, but your information is highly misleading.

There is no such thing as cd keys being bound to machine, they are bound to a specific account. So all your son would need to do to play the game on his computer would be to install steam and log in under your account information.

This means that you can log onto a friends computer, public computer and play steam from your account there no problem.(in fact over here at uni i have a few accounts so i log in under my friends comps so we can play online together)

The catch is only one account may be played at one time, if you are logged on your computer and your son logs on his computer you will get logged out. None of this banning bullshit your talking about. The banning was valve leaked a cdkey and around 30 000 people used this one key, if your key is already in use they will tell you it is in use, not ban you.

Steam is definetely not my preffered method of distribution (ut2k4 would be) but its far better then you portray it to be.

Still sold

Darwinia will STILL HAVE A STEAM-LESS VERSION. If you'd read the site you'd know that.
