Among the services reviewed are: Steam, Impulse, Direct2Drive, Good Old Games, and WildTangent Orb. The most popular site in the roundup, Steam, was also the most favored because of its wide selection of popular titles, while Direct2Drive also scored top marks because it has 'just about every title in the universe.'"

Yes, I suppose TPB is a convenient place for children and the morally immature to violate copyright law. Some of us, however, are adults, and have grasped that if something costs money then either you pay for it or you do without.

Most games cost more than the $9.95 you paid. Perhaps you're referencing the price? If so, I've got a $1 billion finger painting of a cow to sell you that costs me less than $2 to make. I hope that the price doesn't disgust you. At least I know you'll never pirate my finger painting. Thanks, adult.
