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.

I don't play games which are available on CD/DVD. I deserve setup files if I am buying Indie games.

I forgot my steam password. It auto logs in. Any chance I can recover it without logging out?

erm what? The dev himself is selling through Steam. His decision lol.

Like I said, use the back-up feature. Solves the problem of re-downloading.

Re: Steam related discussions

It's not a problem really. You can always backup and restore the games. Consider Steam (and Desura) like the Package Managers in your distro. Always up-to-date, hassle free stuff.
The only downside of Steam is the lack of the Linux client. Purchasing Indie-games on steam and not being able to run them on Linux (when the game itself has a Linux client) sucks big time (and no running the game via Steam in WINE is NOT a solution).

Thanks guys I will keep a backup of games I buy on steam store. But setup files are much more compact. Setup files plus save games take up much less space.

Only problem with buying direct is no discount.

Anyway need to look at Desura too.

just right click on the game in library menu
then choose "validate integrity of files"
it will download any updates if required
and will solve your problem

Is there ever any sale in EA Origin? I am thinking of buying FIFA 12 but don't want to spend 999 on it.

This Christmas I am going to buy a few Indie titles if they are on sale. I'll then try asking the developers for setup files. Let's see how they respond.

Detected something not so funny while going through my cc statement. Steam transactions are listed 1-2 days later after the were made and in every case the amount charged is 3-7 Rs more than what was initially deducted (as per SMS). However, purchases of Humble and IndieRoyale bundles and from Gamersgate & GOG are listed on the same date and the amount was exact what was deducted in the first place (as per SMS).

Any idea what's going on?? :confused:
