I always wonder, why would i buy game from steam, with all those complex transactions, downloading the whole game(with the pathetic speeds we are getting), when you can able to easily purchase the same game for reasonable price from nearest store or online store like flipkart/nextworld etc.
But recently, i got Metro 2033 for free and keys are only redeemable in Steam. So i have to use steam and now i can see the difference. Downloading 6.6GB of game, is like taking forever. It is still downloading. But since i want to see how steam works, i did this.
The only downside of having retail disc is physical damage, which i will avoid by using no-cd patch and i can have the disc in mint condition for quite a long time.
And steam's advantage over discs is, once code is redeemed, you can download whenever you want, with no risk of losing/braking discs.
Now i want to know, what are the views of other members of this forum?
