Just purchased Metro 33 on Steam. $49.99
I have 15mb internet speed. No problems with my rig or connection. It's been over and hour and it's still downloading. I'm at 50%.
I COULD have drove to the store and bought a shiny new copy with a nice crisp manual, stopped at BK, stopped at the smoke shop for some cigs, got home, ate, installed the game, and be playing by now.
STEAM is a f^@king joke in terms of speed. Surely a resolution is on the horizon for it's million+ userbase?
*note
junk food and smokes not recommended. finding a new download service is.
