I'm sure you could download it onto another PC or even Buy it online form them and send you a disk via snailmail, it would be ridiculopus not too IMO.
I disslike the idea of steam a bit. I like the idea of having the physical game in my hands and downlaing it on my computer whenever i want. and if you don't have Cable or DSL internet its like watching grass grow. Copy protection is getting too serious in my opinion With the RIAA, HollyWood and the gaming industry now. But i respesct the gaming industry the most because they don't get nearly as muhc money as lets say madonna or jude law. I cringe at the people who steal games, stealing is stealing.
Thats intresting about the stalker! I just bought Doom3 Ressurection of Evil. They have a gravity gun in their game also, yea its a pathetic attempt, you can only hold things for 3 seconds, then they automatically drop, and you have to do the whole thing over again. it feels like a kids version. but the double barreled shot gun is back!
If i hear anything else i try to keep you guys posted.
