I am all against monopolies, something steam is quickly becoming. However this isnt a solution, it doesnt offer alternatives, it only offers more problems to consumers.
But hey, gamers as consumers are the most spineless and stupid of all consumer groups so they will all buy this game.... only to find out dice lives to its reputation yet again and the spineless gamers get served with yet another highly bugged dice release.
As for this game being the greatest of the year, who says that is a prime stereotype when I say gamers are spineless and stupid. Besides frozen synapse is out for a while, that one is actually a great game.
