DoD is now pre-loading. =D Thank you STEAM. I've been eager to see
the new DoD, and it sure is nice not having to run from store to store
trying to find it.

I can't help but think that for some of you, Steam is a shiny metal object,
and you are a bird.

is it nice for those without a credit card?
is it nice for those without internet access?
is it nice for those without broadband access?
is it nice for those with download limits?
is it nice for those wanting to play games with privacy?

no sir for the majority of us steam is not nice!
it's simply awful!

Umm, since when has one had to run from store to store to download
free multiplayer mods? You give Steam far too much credit.

What next? Steam fanbois claim Valve invented Internet with Steam?

So without Steam DoD:Source should have been on the HL2 DVD when you
bought it, with Steam Valve could deliver it after that much time?

LOL...I love how you knobs label anyone who has a positive experience
with STEAM as being a fanboi. Too funny, and predictable.

I'm hardly giving STEAM too much credit, I'm simply giving it the credit
it deserves. I LOVE being able to buy/dload a new game with the click
of a button.

Is there any rational thought going on in that so-called brain of yours,
or do you just rely on knee jerk reflexes when you post?

Is that a lame way of saying that anyone who praises the benefits of
Steam is an idiot?

Pre-loading sounds like a pretty useful thing to me.

Perhaps not, but it's DAMN NICE for those of us who do.

For those of us who bought the DVD its $17.96 + Tax. To be honest I don't
think I will bother as there are many other WW2 games out there including Mods
and TCs that do it better and include vehicles as well anyway. Does the Source
version make any significant improvements over the original to warrant what
amounts to purchasing a new game?

That's fine, but some of us actually don't mind getting out of the house and
going to a store. Personally, I find it to be fun to go out and look
around.

AFAIK it's been rewritten from ground up in the Source engine but whether
it's worth buying we wont really know for another week or so...

Dod is NOT free. Dod has not been free since Valve bought the rights to
it when it was in beta.

DoD:Source required the work of paid artists, modellers, coders and so
on. Do you really think the conversion to Source was done for free?

Valid criticism about Valve/Steam is welcome, but this is an argument
based on something that's no-longer true.

Your list makes me suspect you are twelve years old and destitute. I can
only think of a dozen or so people who suffer all the misfortunes you
list -- and all of them are less than ten years old.

And what the *$%# do you need privacy for gaming? Masturbating while
watching Lara Croft raid tombs?

Maybe if you are so hard up you should stick to playing with wooden
blocks and crayons and when you become an adult and get a job and income
you can afford some or all of these things.

Without exception, everyone I know who plays electronic games (PC or
console) has a credit card, has Internet access (broadband, even), have
no download limits, and does not masturbate while playing Halo.

You are a bizarre human ... and still very much a fool. At least you're
consistent.

DoD:Source wasn't available at the time of HL2's release. I'm not sure
what you're suggesting. Regardless, someone has to pay those who made
the conversion.

So Valve got money for something they couldn't deliver. Thanks STEAM ;)!

Normally in game computing the work is made before the money is gained.

They are delivering it on the 26th. Thanks Steam.

And Valve stated that DOD:S would be released sometime after the
release of HL2. The HL2/Steam situation isn't "normal" as there are
several steam based games involved.

With every message you post you are making yourself look more and more
like SK, just arguing for the sake of arguing. Just stick to pimping
Vampire, something you know something about.

It wasn't me that started a whole new thread here with the topic above
just to boast about how great Steam is delivering a delayed content.
Someone just has to put things into the right perspective ;).
