Day of Defeat: Source is now via the
Steam delivery service. Word on
Steam News
is:
Day of Defeat: Source is available now via Steam for just $19.95. If you have Steam installed, you can get Day of Defeat now! If you don't have Steam installed yet, click here for the Steam installer.
Uh, and that was exactly my point. There's no way to tell one way other the other, so making an assumption that it is going to happen is just as silly as making one that it isn't.
...ok. I already brought up the possibility that they certainly might not do this in my original post. I then followed with my personal opinion that they would, and made it clear it was my opinion. Are you arguing I shouldn't express an opinion? I didn't state it as fact.
No, your comparison is not valid. Your comparison would only be valid if the customer expectations were similar, and they aren't.
Again I'm at a loss at what your arguing here. The situations to me are similar in that they are both dependant on an outside source to run. My point being one isn't bludgeoned to death at every concievable oppurtunity by the same people over and over even though the player is in a much more dependant state with the other. And at the same time pointing out the definition of renting the game is much more apt, as you *do* pay a monthly fee or no game.
Obviously you get alot more from WoW for paying that price, but I'm not discussing that. Nor have a problem with it.
[edit] Let me back up here. I think the point of my post isn't coming across to you. I first showed the positive experience I've had with Valve over the years to set up the possibility that what valve does isn't so bad and actualy does work in at least my case. Riley has this blanket beliefe that if you use steam your doing the wrong thing, and he doesn't seem to think that's just his oppinion.
I then brought up a situation that I think leaves the customer much more dependant on an outside source to run yet I don't see people like Riley flipping out over it... all I'm doing is showing that I believe there's a lot of personal bias / paranoia towards Valve. I don't have a problem with how Blizzard runs WoW at all and it's not what I'm discussing.
