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.
This right here shows your complete idiocy or desire to make up stuff out of thin air to argue against Valve.It is idiotic of you to claim that Steam is immediate. It is far from it. To say that I would complain about an 18 hour download on release day is also idiotic. Downloading that much data takes a lot of time. I know that, and I stated it. You want to gloss over that fact to make Steam seem immediate when it is far from it.
If they hadn't done it that way you know full well you would be bitching about how it took 18 hours to download on the release day.
Until typical Internet bandwidth speeds increase dramatically or until AAA video games get much, much smaller than they are, immediacy will not be an advantage of digital distribution. And, until Valve increases the capacity and reliability of Steam, it certainly won't be an advantage of it as it has always been unavailable for some every time a popular new game or update has been released on Steam.
It's just a case of you finding whatever you can pick and pull out of someone's post to use to make up stuff to make Valve look bad.I simply responded to the drivel you posted. Don't want me to make you look bad? Don't write such sycophantish crap. As for Valve looking bad, it does that all by itself. I just point it out.
