Some one said eariler that there was a study saying they gamers would rather buy their games online then go to the store but that was with the idea they are getting something like a install.exe file or something. I for one would be all for that. I could back up game a cd/dvd or what ever and know I'll be able to play done the line with out a problem.
Steam on the other hand is like they give you permision to play their games but you have run this program and provide the disk space for it. I wouldn't mind that if it didn't cost as much as it does.If they gave us an.exe file for the day the shit hits the fan I wouldn't mind.
The problem is that the product isn't in the our hands. The other problems that steam has is beside the point. Its like paying 60+ bucks for a book from the library that you are going to have to return anyway.
Sould have picked up a few when I saw them at my mall. They were nifty little things. Most of what was sold was old games that you can't really get here anymore (some being the key word here). I'm kind of sad that they got closed down so fast.
But then again these people really didn't have the snap that a classic Korean game counterfiters has. When they pirate something they make it look like art.

These people that they have on the shows don't even know anything about games let alone tech. All they do is pimp games that are movie or tv tie-ins.
