    ...but I never liked the concept behind "Steam", "X-Box Live", or any other "service" you have to subscribe (i.e., submit your credit card information and pay over and over) in order to enjoy the games (or any other software) you have already purchased.

    So does this mean you avoid e-tickets or sending out flash greeting cards?

    I have sent flash greeting cards, free ones. I have never bought an e-ticket.
