Steam , works like a charm, exept a bit slow.

You must mean like the magical charms the lady across the street sold you. (ie doesn't)
I don't really think I have to mention what happened when HL2 came out...

Must I also mention the "Triton" game download service closing down and leaving thousands of Prey players unable to use their legally purchased product? (especially frustrating since people that bought a copy at the local store could still play)
(The link is in hebrew, so most of you shouldn't bother entering )

I saw an article about some better way of using e-books, but until the, reading books on computer screen?? don't be silly, and it has nothing to do with computer games

I'm putting things on the point a bit, but its really weird why when we have an internet that can easily handle gigabyte downloads, heck pirates been doing that for years, we can't get our games online.

As for steam problems, yepp, but they got really overloaded , I can understand that.
since then, its been running okay, my Space Empires V copy updated itself automatically even.

As for poor online sellers, yes they exist, there are a few probably, but thats an online sales problem in general.

Also there are some really unreasonable copy protection schemes going on, they only really hurt the consumer, not the pirates it seems.
