I think he was talking about the count of sales numbers not that steam was putting people off.

I doubt that Steam sales amount to a hill of beans really.

Exactly.

Even if it was another 10,000, that still doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the software industry.

FSX sold 280,000 in 2007
Falcon 4.0 sold 100,000 copies. Allied Force sold out in the first week.
Warcraft sold 2.2 million

But it will be several times the amount of hardcopies. No one buys them anymore - some Retroguys maybe.
It's pointless anyway, the data on the disc has no value, almost 100% will be outdated in no time. Just look at Clod.

i strongly dissagre with that.. 1st with a hardcopy you actualy own the game not lease it from some shady company who can pull the plug out of yur game at any time.

2th the data has always value because it's the basic game whe you need to reinstall you can always update the patches again manualy (if you know how that works)

3th because of a group of game developers force you to use STEAM, doesn't make it a good product.

BS! you own the key, you own the progi. No one gives a sh.. wheter you have a physical CD.
What if you own a Windows CD but not the key? You see...

2. No. All the data you install will be instantly overwritten as soon as you register. Did you ever look at the size of those updates?

3. True. Completely off topic and irrelevant though.
(I hate Steam too if it makes you feel any better)
