Steam told me how it is when i pre-loaded dark messiah through it last year. If you're looking to play a game ASAP after its release, Steam is not the place to buy -- its good for impulse purchases ofold games you'd have to get on ebay otherwise, as well as indie games w/o big publishers.
And i'll get all my HL2 episodes off steam,
but watch it next time you're interested in a hot title and steam says 'play it the second its released' yeah. whatever. Its funny though, even though i'dalready seen steam bungle dark messiah's rollout,when i saw Bioshock appear last week i was definitely tempted...steam pre-purchases offer the illusion of instant gratification - and that can be hard to resist.
