so say if you buy a game off of steam and it is 4 gig, do you have to download the 4 gig straight from the developer, do they compress it, use some kind of torrent thing to reduce their bandwidth? also if it is 4 gig of download, can you burn it onto a dvd so that you can uninstall it later and not have to redownload 4 gig? I assume that Valve gets a cut from this but it would also seem that more money would go to the developers off of this because they cut out the retail, just a cut to the publisher and valve and more to the devs, would that be correct?
