That was the point I am trying to make, I think steam is the future for games with the benefits it gives, honestly, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages as long as you have the above.

that is why I said, I think that before the end of the decade, when the majority of people do have faster machines and broadband, then it will be good... at the moment steam is good, but as I said, the bad points are big to people who are affected.

before anyone starts to have a go at me for saying this, I on that link in the first post, (if you read it!) said all about how much steam is bad and hate it... but the only reason is for the overheads of launching a game and how it slows it down.

in the future when computers are faster and everyone has a fast connection, it will be best.

I can as well respond to the other post here about physical vs digital downloads, I would think it may be best to have a digital download system where you could buy physical goods from a shop, and install solo, but then just choose to join it to a account like steam, thereby giving you the benefits, but also not requiring you to use a service..
