Default Re: SEIV via Steam

It was an entirely legitimate post... In the old days before Internet, patches generally had to be shipped in the mail or hand delivered. Or even worse, you might have to wait for the next version of the software to be sold! It is only the modern era that has patches available for download. I see little difference here. It is still part of the software model. If you are going to call people stupid and lazy for downloading purchased games, you have to call them stupid and lazy for the patches too.
