Yeah because we shouldnt own our games we paid for..

Sorry if it's already been pointed out (I didn't actually know this myself until the other month) but the vast majority of physical PC releases now are a disc and a steam key so you're still tied to steam even if you own the box, disc and a manual.

I wanted all my games ideally to be tied to steam on my PC as it seems the most upgrade friendly  way of having the games (access from multiple systems etc via download) so passed on The Evil Within LE from GAME when it was like £7.99. Then found out after I'd got it on Steam during a sale for approx the same price, that the physical LE with the extra stuff was also just a steam key in the box and a disc so you don't have to download the game files (not really an issue on a 40mb connection).

not all physical PC games support this BS, look at the back
