Oleg, Luthier, you need to give UBI a damn good bollocking.

Mmm good points. I used to help run the largest fps community in the UK. I still love them. I am also something of an avid history buff and really enjoy flight sims and historical turn-based strategy games.

Madness, I know. Imagine having diverse-but-still-connected interests?

As I said elsewhere, I love a lot of things, with the exception of watching TV (or voyeurism in general), sports fans, and tories.

I don't understand the hate for steam.

They have updates weekly for any issues. I have loads of games on Steam with no issues.

It is an online community/digital distribution.

If you want COD and it's on Steam, buy it, if you don't really want it, don't buy it.

I would choose Steam first above anything else, don't need the CD in, if I lose my PC, I download all my games again on steam, in fact I just have to login and it will download for me.

Steam is good, better than buggy GFWL

Somebody at Ubi just answered my question about the Steam account requirement. link

But what that means with steam is, you activate the game through steam, once activated, you can play offline without logging into steam. If there is no internet connection you can still play offline.

Why steam is bad? Someone make a list of its flaws, cos' atm it's like: it is bad cos' I know it is bad.
I see most ppl, who hate steam, have used it only once or haven't at all.
