I was talkin about Diablo 3 and AC2 especifically. You have to be online to play those, with or without steam

Diablo 3 it´s quite understandable why they did it,considering how the game works,in the end it is an online game,even though it´s not an MMO,and Ubisoft has been removing all the always online drm from most of their games and AC Brotherhood was released without it.Even though those situations arent the norm atm you dont know what the future will bring when pubs will have the monopoly of the market with DD only. Retailers are the only one that can make them balance the game prices. People talk about retail as if its more expensive then DD but I honestly dont see it. Besides these time specific sales, steam usually is as expensive as a retailer. Retailers also have some great sales. Recently I just bought Fallout 3 Goty for only 5 euros for ex...
call me old-fashioned, "peasent", w/e but retail is the only viable option for me atm
The market won´t be DD only for a very long,long time(if at all),but DD will eventually be the primary way to do business in the industry,DD usually has better sales and way more often,especially a short time after the release of the games.
And yeah,you can also get console games for cheap if you look well enough,though in the case of Fallout 3 you must´ve found a pretty good deal because I was yesterday at the Colombo´s FNAC and GAME and the GOTY edition was still 19,99?(or maybe it was NV,not sure). :P
And I still buy most of my PC games retail these days,I just find DD way more comvenient and considering my lifestyle I rarely have the chance to spend time on game stores these days.
Edit: Actually I just looked on the FNAC site and the PS3 F3 GOTY edition is 30?,NV is 20? lol.
