That's brilliant! Completely defies the point of why some people bought it.
Skyrim definitely did not do this, as I was given it as a gift and tried it myself. It installs the majority of files, after which point Steam does a little bit more, but not much. I imagine if I were to try it now though, the game would have a lot more updates to download compared to what was on the disc
It's not the first game to do that so I'm not surprised. I think Skyrim and Super Meat Boy did of the top of my head.
