WIPO by ucblockhead (4.00 / 1) #1 Sat Mar 11, 2006 at 04:35:02 PM EST

Drank the koolaid and installed Steam, so waddyathink?

It's a contract thing. I am sure the retailers have it written in the contracts that the publisher not offer it at a lower price than their "suggested retail price". Then they offer a discount. It's intentional. If they didn't demand that, people would wonder why we need the retailers.

Steam has a genuine USP by Rogerborg (2.00 / 0) #2 Sat Mar 11, 2006 at 04:45:38 PM EST

The ability to install and play your games on any machine anywhere at any time is not insignificant compared to the POWAH of the Force.

Even I'm not going to bite on that one.

If you had the source to that comment, you could recompile it and bite to a completely different one, instead of being at the mercy of what I choose to write.

They can't all run their own webcams.

If my website idea pans out, I'm going to pay someone to deliver groceries to the doorstep. They'll just leave them there, don't even want to see their faces.
Also, I'll be able to afford my 40 cats.
