PC - Question about Steam - View Post

It's basically the same thing no matter which way you buy it. Once it's on steam, you can play other steam users, and you won't need the disc anymore.

 

Unless you want to reinstall it after reformating or install it on a different computer.

I mean, installing from the disks is much easier than having to redownload many gigs worth.

Steam has been getting a lot of cool additions. Newer games are getting achievements, there's the steam in-game menu where you can chat with friends in both Steam and non-steam games, and they just officially added a web browser (older IE I believe) so you can go check out a guide or something while staying in-game.
