steam is totally wrong cause it takes away any choice
its simply trying to FORCE! to MONOPOLIZE! and that is UNACCEPTABLE!
i checked pay2download and the site looks awful! such an amateur look so
i really didn't take it seriously
now do you know about d2d? www.direct2drive.com? i don't have any problem
with something like this... but let me make this clear i don't like it and
i will never use it! i don't buy and will not buy ever games via download
i want it in a physical medium version cd-rom or dvd-rom but i'm not at
all against choice... so if you prefer to buy thief or farcry via d2d do
it but let me buy it the way i want which is in a cd-rom!
do you understand?
i have no problem with direct2drive cause it doesn't take away choice!
i think having more choice for the consumer is best!
with steam its completely different! they took away ANY CHOICE FROM US!
they are deciding for us! that's wrong! i will never accept it!
if via download is such a good system and something gamers want let it
be proved in the market place! let there be choice in the market place!
let both system compete for the way to sell games!
are you listening to me?????
LET BOTH SYSTEMS COMPETE FOR THE WAY TO SELL GAMES!!!!
