| nordlead said: I completely understand where the retailers are coming from. It is the equivalent of selling McDonnalds burgers in Burger King take out bags and sandwich wrappers. I support the retailers and hope they force these companies to remove Steam from the retail copies of the game. I have no problem with Steam personally, but I don't want to install Steam just to play a game I bought in a brick and mortar store or off of a website like Amazon. |
I would agree with this if retailers had actually remained as a true rival to Steam. Most physical retailers have reduced the size of the PC shelf space, rarely advertise PC games and have had plenty of time to expand and at least start to compete in the DD area of the market.
The closest rival to Steam (in the UK at least) is Amazon as they competitively price their games.
