When it comes to downloading games using Steam, a lot of people are getting fed up with the fact that it is costing them more than to buy. This is especially strange seeing as you don't have any packaging to go with your new game. It is important to some people to have a pack for their game because it is proof that they have actually paid for it and when it comes to installing it on a new computer for example it will be easy to do.
Obviously if you wanted to install it again on a different computer you could download it again but would you want to go through that hassle again?
You may find it all the more annoying when things happen that are not expected just like the time when Call of Duty Black Ops was released. Anyone who had camped out waiting to buy the game were given a package but then had to download the game via Steam.
What is even stranger is at the same time as all the people who had queued all night and were downloading Black Ops through steam, the game could not be bought from Steam because you had to get the box from the shop.
So how much of the 50 is actually saved by the game developers in order to put the players through so much trouble and the real question is do you think it's worth it? But one thing is certain, release dates are something that Steam need to be able to cope with in a better way. Bugs in the system and reports of crashes are leaving a lot of people feeling very frustrated.
The idea of Steam is quite good but the implementation is not doing so good. The good news is that they have been investing in more infrastructure so that the crashes should be less often and the bugs are bound to exist with such a rapidly growing service. There are bound to be some improvements to Steam if you just stick with it and be patient.
