VTM is an awesome game Faun. Make sure to install the latest unoffical patch which removes a lot of bugs. lot of replay value, and once you finish the main quest, there are tons of quest mods out there. Graphics aren't great, but the story is really good. :)

Yeah, better than run and gun painkiller. I'll get this, already a legacy of rave reviews about it.

This is bad. Apparently steam was attacked by hackers yesterday who stole some passwords and credit card info. Damn.

Go to *forums.steampowered.com/forums/ for details. Apparently the attack took place on November 6..

I don't think so. Steam games are DRM protected. So no chance of getting the setup file.

Good news is that GOG will be bringing newer titles along with Indie games starting next year which will be DRM-free. So wait till then. :D

Sometimes the developers may give the installer. The World of Goo developers did give the Linux binaries to the Steam users on contacting, though they later retracted on that as well.
I don't expect any developer to give DRM-free Windows binary for Steam users in any case.

Re: Steam related discussions

Desura has no DRM. In Desura, you can run the games without the client. You can browse to the directory to run the games. It's not a feature but a side-benefit of the lack of DRM.
You're not provided with the setup files/packages(.exe or .deb) though. Perhaps available on request? I've no idea there to be honest.

Re: Steam related discussions

Steam ads are annoying. I don't want to know about new releases. I haven't tried to disable it just because I keep waiting for some awesome sale. Although now I am reconsidering buying from Steam ever. What is the point if I can't even have the setup files? Suppose I want to play them on my desktop back home, I will have to download all games again. Annoying, to say the least.

10) Take back-up of games on a portable hard disk like I do. Or burn the back-up on DVDs and store the "updated" DVDs.

Use the back-up feature. I will always buy games from Steam no matter what. Don't have time to store CD/DVDs. I download them and archive them on my external HDD.

Steam has its virtues, DRM is not one of them. :(
