Re: When are you going to tell the TRUTH Mike. ???
Dude, do me a favour: read over what you posted. Now, imagine that it was someone else who had posted that. Does it seem to you, perhaps, that the grammar, punctuation capitalization and spelling indicate a sane person capable of logical discourse?
I'm going to guess that it does, for you. For everyone else here, you look like a crazy person.
It's amusing that the name you've chosen to troll under is that of a bassist from a band that is well known to have taken inspiration from many sources for free to create their very popular music. Douche on, TAM.
And for the rest of the time reside at ridiculously high prices, far in excess of boxed copies, because, by and large, these digital retailers don't compete with each other and NOBODY competes with Steam on a meaningful level.
Today, I pre-ordered Civilization V. I could have done that on Steam for €50 (don't get me started on Euro customers getting jipped on currency conversion!) but I chose to get a boxed copy from any of about 15 retailers, for €30.
Competition is good. Digital distribution needs moar.
You make a good point about the used and pirate copies being the same game.
It used to be that by pirating, you wouldn't get the online features. Now, if both used and pirated games lack online modes, someone who is willing to forgo the online mode might as well pirate as buy used.
Killing the used market but helping the publishers nought. Good plan, THQ.

Since you mentioned no support for bugs, I'll assume the latter.
