COD4 Release on Steam = Epic Fail

WHy do people keep buying off Steam?? If there is a thread or post about Steam it is a negative one, all you ever hear is problems. There are other alternatives to that piece of crap.vfibsux

I had to buy off Steam cuz I had no alternatives. I can't get the box version and direct2drive just wouldn't release it, last time I checked it was still on "pre-purchase"...

I personally love steam and have bought many a fine game off it. But in reguards to COD4 on steam theres just no way Im paying $69.99 before vat, which is around $82 ( £39 ) with vat here for people in the UK and some other european countrys. Not perticually blaiming valve for this pricing as its down to activision. Almost as if they wanted to put people off buying from steam :( .

bought the game via online mail order for £28.99 including vat and P&P :) ( $60 )

Steam was SOO good, UNTIL NOW! I'm re-downloading the game, and god I am so pissed, I loved how they automaticaly updated everything, and that most of the time, they have awesome deals, not to mention pre-loads, so I figured "hey, who cares if I get it a week later, I'm getting other games this week anyway, and I'm still addicted to TF2, which I got off of steam, and everything is fine"

BOOM, CoD4 is here, and I"m all "OMFG IT IS TIME" and then "ERROR: Game is Unavailable"

sure games have had problems on Steam before, but they were easy to fix

this one, is like the thread says

EPIC FAIL!

I have 30 odd games on Steam right now and have had a problem with ZERO of them.

I purchased COD4 off Steam a hour or two or so, im near 50% completion, what problems are occuring? Should I worry?GODFLESH_basic

Yes, you should worry. Now go sell your house and hope for the best.

No problems here:roll:

This isnt a suprise. As much as I love the often cheaper price of Steam, every big release this year has been riddled with annoying and frustrating problems.DarKre

You speak of it as if it was a general rule. For some people they play quite fine.

I have been playing pc games for years. This is the first game that after TWO DAYS of trying to get it to LAUNCH I have be unsuccsesful. From what I read alot of people have issues. This might go down as the worst launch in the history of gaming.
