| Most of the kids here have never seen real unprocessed fruits or vegetables before (they're not on the menu at Burger King), so this one should be educational.
Just look at how many have them confused with body parts Flag this | Edit this post |

| And your point is?? What the hell does it matter to you how the money is split up if the cost is the same??
Actually, you should be very happy for this alternative distribution method. By cutting out the middleman, companies are able to sell their products for lower prices, which in turn forces retailers to lower their prices to remain competitive. When was the last time you saw so many games for under $20?
It also allows developers to maximize their profits, and put that money towards making new games, or maybe just to keep their heads afloat. With consoles kicking the crap out of PC games these days (sales wise) and developers leaving the PC market in droves, it's absolutely critical that PC gaming uses every little advantage it can get.
PC gaming is on the ropes. By purchasing through Steam or other online methods, you're better supporting PC gaming, and putting more of your money in the hands of the people who deserve it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| $16.99 + 7% sales tax (avg) = $18.18
Money saved = $1.77
Price of gas = $3.00 gal
If you're talking about buying it online, the cheapest shipping method is $2.99, which automatically negates any price difference and takes up to 5-10 business day for delivery.
I'll take my instant download from Steam, thanks. Flag this | Edit this post |
