Now on your boycotting steam. Get off your fing pedestal and actually see what steam has to offer. (Manuals that come in games nowadays do NOT pass as manuals, all you get is a character list and a controller scheme. That is IT). You have to buy the actual books now. SO, your point on manuals is completely and utterly mute. Believe me that's what I used to think as well. Guess what; times change. Get used to it. You are missing out on hundreds of good games at a good price with your little "boycott" if you can even call it that since you are in the extreme minority of people doing it. Most people have realized that it's stupid to do so. Get out of your hole and live a little man!
There is nothing that interests me on steam. Also I am not paying money to rent a game. When all games go to digital distribution like Steam (if that is indeed "the future") is the day when I stop playing games. Just because everybody else marches into being ripped off with a smile on their face, I am not giving up my rights. I am not going to pay money for air. In fact, Steam has made me see pirates as benevolent. I would rather have pirating and pirates flourish because the developers who push you to use their services to buy games rather than own a physical copy, deserve nothing but piracy of their product. They are already forcing you to pay money for something you do not own.

I am not in a hole. Just because you and the rest of the people have been led to believe that digital distribution is the greatest thing since the invention of computers doesnt mean I am in a "hole". It just means that like so often in life, I am on the opposite side of the majority because I can think for myself and not "follow the leader".
