The problem that many people have using steam is that it often costs more to get a game downloaded to your system. 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.
Although it would be possible to download the game again would you really want to have to do this 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. Everyone who had decided that it would be a good idea to sit outside the shops until the game was released was told that they would have to download the game via Steam, when they got home.
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 do you really think it is worth saving a few quid on your game for all the hassle you are put through in order to get it? One thing that we do know is that Steam need to be able to cope much better with the demands placed on them on release dates. 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. However with such a rapidly growing service there are bound to be some bugs but the crashes should be few and far between now because of investments in infrastructure. Stick with Steam for now and things should improve.
