STEAM is rolling...

Seems like STEAM is really picking up some steam, no pun intended. Every time I log in there are more games added to the library. Eidos just added six new games. So far, there's Eidos, 2K, PopCap, Activision, Majesco, Strategy First, Bioware, Funcom, Ubisoft, etc...etc...are all jumping on board, and of course let's not forget about Valve. I'm loving Steam, as you just don't have to worry about hunting down  DVD's/CD's just to have them in your drive.

the thing with steam is that it's painless, you don't worry about anything. you download a game and bam, it's installed and everything automatically.

 Compared to some game bundle like C&C the first decade steam is lightyears ahead

I like Steam. :o

It's nice being able to instantly buy games without making a trip to the store or paying shipping after ordering online. I think I'm gonna buy Deus Ex sometime in the near future, I never got around to playing it before.

Steam games are expensive and have no resale value. I rather get boxed retail copies for cheaper banjobear_basic

Most stores are phasing out PC Game Resale anyway.

I remember when Steam first came out, everyone HATED it. It was buggy and clunky, and just not convenient at all. In the time since though, it's done a complete 180. Now, I love buying games on Steam because of how painfully easy and polished the whole experience is. Good job Valve.

Yup, if online distribution is the future of PC gaming, then Steam should be the model for it.  Every developer should have their own version or join up with an already established one.  Screw publishers!  Avoid the middleman and give games directly to the gamers!  Viva la Steam!
