The PC gaming industry really needs some sort of universal DLC distribution schema.

It's been a firm opinion of mine for the last few years that the U.S. Library of Congress should store and provide credential-based access to all works, especially digital. They already have a copy of every written work: that is their mission. Getting all the digital ones and then modernizing with the Information Age in mind to include distribution I think is just what they should be doing. Of course, that would kill (or just obsolete) Steam.

Yeah I'd rather not have my digital download client managed by the fucking luddites that infest Washington D.C., thanks...

You're right, they ARE Luddites. That's why they're not doing it! The private sector always leads the way, but, eventually you need a national-scale project and by the time they're *not* Luddites the engineering to do it will be so well established they won't fsck it up. Well, they will, but it won't be that bad and it'll work most of the time!
