do keep up - following that the rules now state

Competitors

1. Amazon and places like these etailers/retailers are fine to talk about but please do *NOT* discuss our core business products or link to them such as motherboards, cpus, mice etc.

2. Digital Distribution services are ok to talk about.

to answer another question - its not a client but a downloader with ur lib stored online for future DLs. you can check it out by reading thru the FAQs on the yank site.

Sooner Origin dies the better - for gamers anyway.

Competition is good, but isnt Steam cheap enough? You buy stuff on offers, you win.

At least Steam / Valve arent made up of 100% pure evil like EA are.

Steam is generally a rip-off and I really don't get all the loving it and Valve get. They are a company, just like any other, and are here to make money. They do that very well by milking gamers by releasing micro transactions that rivals Sims.

I really don't get that people don't understand Valve can't choose the price.

Not quiet.

For example, E.A have shareholders to keep happy, Valve do not. This alone can have a HUGE impact on the direction a company can take.

It is an entire economy. Haven't you noticed? Nothing in Sims is necessary, just like the store for TF2.

So how is that milking? If you don't have to buy it then they aren't milking you for money are they?

Also Steam is only a rip off because they want to keep publishers sweet so set the price at whatever the publisher dictates. It is hardly Valves fault that prices are high. Although to be fair to them they more than make up for it in sales.
