I'm not a big fan of online content delivery in principle (don't have physical ownership of the product, DRM, you can't resell. It's almost as if you don't own the game. You are just paying a "license" to play it.) but I have to admit that Valve really goes out of their way to improve consumer perception of online content delivery with all these sales and deals. Valve's business model is working very well for them. Online content delivery can really suck (see Xbox 360 Games on Demand. Yeah right I'm gonna pay same price or higher than what it's selling for in the store or on ebay) but Valve is making it work. |
Don't remind me on the price, I got it a couple days ago when it went back down to 10 bucks. That five dollars could have been spent on a 12 pack of PBR, sigh. Anywho, I'm gonna give it another go tonight.
