Even if steam was shit at launch it was different times back then, no major service was set up for online distribution at the time, so you can't really do the same kind of launch these days when a few services has already established themselves.Andy Chalk said:I'll add my voice to the chorus of those who don't see what the big deal is. This is EXACTLY the same thing that Valve did with Half-Life 2 and you might think that Steam is pretty shit-hot now but believe me, it was a piece of crap when it launched. So why is it okay for one but not the other?
And at launch you only got your own titles to sell and DLCs doesn't look to good.
Also I do not trust any of my money to rentals that EA will handle...
