No one told you to use Steam. No one told you to play Valve games.

hmm? I got Portal 2. I had to only download updates worth 300 MB. You don't have to download the 'entire' game.
If you'll get something like Orange Box which was manufactured in like 2008, you'll have to download hefty updates. This is pretty obvious as the games and the engine have seen heavy changes.
I don't even know what's the fuss about 'downloading.' I know people don't buy every game they want to play. Some basically 'download' them. Anything wrong if you download through Steam? Nope.
If you are talking about forced updates then you have a point.
The whole point of Steam is you don't have to mess with physical media. You can access your games from any part of the world.

You've played MW2 and Black Ops, right? The only way to play these games is through Steam. If you haven't used Steam, you have 'downloaded' these games nevertheless.

Well, one thing I hate about Steam is that it's not exactly region free. I bought a retail (i.e boxed) copy of Left for Dead 2. After installing it , I later moved out to Saudi Arabia. On trying to launch the game from my PC there , Steam said that I could only run it if I was in the region (i.e India) where I originally purchased it from -_-
If you bought a game via the Steam store though , it's region-free.
It's sad that Battlefield 3 won't be coming to Steam. Steam's servers have always given me good download speeds , and now I have to use the Evil Arts Download manager for this

Well, I dont have MW2. Played at a friends PC. and yeah it was offline mode.I don't have MW2. I dont think he has Steamico said:
Well, no one will ask you to play games because its "Steam" its not Steam etcico said:
There is no way to play some thing like TF2 other than getting it via Steam. But yes man I would have prefered it a lot more if the purchased DVD had the game rather than Get a file which starts download from Steam.
I am gone from this thread anyway

^ i dont think bf3 will be on steam at the time of release, i wondered why steam was silent when EA was bashing about some DLC issues so they wont release on steam but now i got the "real" reason behind it ! greed !

I like steam as they don't babble about anything here and there like EA. They provide what they are meant to provide and remain silent unless they need to speak. I like that attitude of Steam.
Well said man. Steam don't need to say anything. The will beat Origin hands down anyway.

Funny, Valve forced PC users to use steam to play half life 2.
Then I got the real reason..Greed!
Sounds stupid isnt it?
Its just business.
