Steam has special editions too with OSTs, artwork, etc., etc. DPsx7 posted... Wrong. They may install from the disc but that copy is mine. It can't be taken away if a license expires. Yes it can. You may have the disc but the disc can be made to stop working in the only machine it works in by license expiry. That disc doesn't protect you from DRM. DPsx7 posted... Without discs you're paying too much for nothing. As bad as Steam is, there's a reason they have to sell games for 75% off. The game functions the same with or without a disc, however Steam games are cheaper and the DRM is easier to get around (what with all the data being on your PC, not a copy-protected disc). DPsx7 posted... My internet went out for a couple days (it was new at the time) and Steam decided that I shouldn't be allowed to play HL2. Well, I decided Valve is no longer relevant to gaming. My PS3 YLOD'd, so I decided Sony was no longer relevant to gaming. That makes just as much sense. Special editions, not discs and manuals. Kinda pointless really. Don't talk if you have no clue. That disc is going to work on my console or any replacement console to install and play the game. Digital is the only way it can be stolen without it being my fault. Steam games are not cheaper considering you're getting way less product with hours more hassle. Hardware failure is usually your fault for not maintaining it. (Not all cases, don't get me wrong.) My internet went down through no fault of my own so why doesn't that game work offline? Because Steam, which ruined PC as a gaming platform. Similar to how the Wii brought non-gamers to consoles, Steam was invented for those who wanted their hands held. Those too lazy to install and update games on their own. Then it became invasive by searching the drive for more games, blocking use of purchased titles, and let's just say Steam is worse than all the microtransactions you could count. <cite>DPsx7 posted [p:903115170] in The Xbox O...
