No physical media involved, it makes a copy of your folder so you can keep all your games/maps/etc. From there, you can move the backup anywhere.
If your drive fails, well, you'll lose your personal game files if u didn't copy your backup somewhere else. But with Steam, you can download the entire game again unlimited times. The only restriction is that you can only be logged into Steam on one computer at a time. This is makes it hard to share accounts with people, which is expected.
Personally, I think Steam is extremely useful. Like many others have said, if you don't like the distributor, distribute your game with someone else. Valve doesn't have a monopoly on online distribution, they just happen to be good at it.
Threats against the president's life are a serious criminal offense. Someone making a video game about punching a well known figure in the face repeatedly is perfectly legal.
Actually cuteoverload is just a frame that leads to a typepad site. I'd say it's pretty safe from slashdotting but reloading the cuteoverload its getting slower.
uhm...no. They've been doing this for years. Tons of games have "percentage of completion" notifiers for the player. While it does bring a sense of accomplishment(gaining more things after you've beaten a game), Xbox 360 is by no means the first to employ this.
-This is supposed to be the land of the free, home of the brave. The US is supposed to pride itself as being the beacon of light of democracy and the free world.
In the U.S. it is. What you and most other people here didn't seem to read it that Google HAD NO CHOICE.
-Companies like Google and Yahoo! had the power to do something about it, the power to stand up to it and say NO.
Google brought servers in to China to make theie service easier to access. As soon as they physically put the servers on Chinese land they follow Chinese law, whether they want to or not. If Google defies China and goes uncensored they will be blocked and their equipment confiscated. It's as simple as that. The Chinese government does NOT NEED Google.
