Pretty much this here.BathorysGraveland2 said:4. And one of them was gifted to me because he didn't want it.
I'm a retail buyer, personally. It's just three games I own have a mandatory Steam requirement for reasons unknown to me.
I love my game collection, that includes actually having it in the tangible world. I have about 15 Steam games but I've been with Steam from the beginning... so that just piles onto how much I try to avoid using the service. I honestly don't think it's humanly possible for me to fork out new retail price for a triple A game through a digital service. I feel way too uncomfortable just buying $20 games on XBL and PSN.
