Steam has always been kind of shitty performance wise, both on my old and new rig.

"I support this thread!
So curious, but do people skin their steam or do they leave it at default?"
I still use the preinstalled ones but not the basic gray/olive green one they have for default I choose one of the other ones they have.

It's also a good recipe for finding games you really enjoy that you may not have picked up at retail.
That works both way my friend.
Don't hate, just sit back and enjoy.

That wasn't your argument though, steam is cheaper sometimes, especially with it's bigger packages like the new edios one and the sale on a game every weekend, and some people think it's more convenient to have it on the server so they don't have to keep track of the physical copy. It obviously has it's advantages for some, if you don't like those advantages fine but don't try to shit up a steam thread to when they're are clear advantages for it and obviously disadvantages too like anything else.

How is expressing his opinions on STEAM shitting up the thread? It has its disadvantages, one being that you can save a lot of bloody money by buying in stores. Often you save over 50%.

It was they way he made his arguement, by questioning how someone could find 'win' with Steam. A better way perhaps would have been something like " I can see how some of you may find Win,but here are my opinions...". Instead he chose:
Come at something like a troll, be treated like a troll.

Ah, I was under the impression that a lot of games got censored in Germany at retail.

"Isn't this just like making an official Playstation, Xbox or Nintendo thread? I hope all Steam news doesn't get shoved in this thread."
Ah, that would suck :/ Maybe it won't be so bad if he keeps the OP updated but still I see how you can start overlooking a lot if this starts to become a catch all for steam.

The CS team is probably hard at work on CS2, considering the rumbles from Lombardi a few months back.

LOL, right. And just like those the big news gets it's own thread, and it gets archived here.
Exactly.Remy said:
I felt this thread was needed. Sometimes I see some steam deals or announcements that I don't think deserve their own thread but should be posted on GAF. Like COD4 being 20% off or the Eidos pack (actually, I made a thread about that...).
Consider this thread subscribed.

Can it ever get enough exposure? All the publishers should put out their games through steam!Shard said:

Hey you have your XBLA thread and technically both services are the same concept!Shard said:
Has anyone purchased Chaos Theory yet? I am so tempted to buy it and I wanted impressions of it.
*edit: duh there is a demo, I might as well try it.

True enough, I wonder if there is room for another grand thread, but I suspect the people would be disinterested in it.

I think they should release microsoft game studios games on there! Age of Empires, Age of Mythology.. you name it! (Halo: CE?)
I guess that'll never happen, but MS doesnt have its own distribution channel right?

Indeed though the XBLA is for the XBOX 360, closest thing that Microsoft has to Steam appears to be this site.

The really amusing thing is that Microsoft also seems to have signed up for a third-party digital download store (and by signed-up, I mean selling Gears or War) that is not Steam.

They're waiting for the updated version to put on Steam. It'll have some of the voice work redone, extra quests, and fewer bugs. The extra content will be available as a free DLC for people who already bought the game.
It was recently delayed to this Fall I believe.

Weirdly, I think the censored version of TF2 (where all of the players are actually robots made out of crazy junk) fits the game better than the 'real' version where they're all supposed to be actual people.
