How many people are in love with online distribution?

I am.

I wasn't always though. I used to always need the cd, case, manual, etc.

Then I realized the foley in this. What do I need the manual for? And the cd can easily be scratched, leading to damages, leading to buying a new game.

Also, you hafta put the cd in your drive to play it. And cracks can damage your pc. I didn't use them for a long while until I got Vista, which even on my laptop, was a HUGE inconvience (And believe you me, the games now run alot better, but it's cheating now, so I won't show them).

But with online distributing, all you need is an account. You can put them on multiple pcs and be okay with it! All I need is my steam and my ea link accounts and I'm good to go.

So, what about you guys?

 

i like steam ok but not ea link [still too buggy+ i hate ea ]
and also how can cracks hurt your computer?

 

Some no-cd cracks have trojans in them.

 

Yeah I love getting games through steam.. It's just so much easier.

 

I would much rather prefer to have the CD or DVD and game case, but online distribution is slowly replacing that.

 

thats true

 

i only like steams thing... but the problem with the account and steam is that if their servers are down.. like the day they lost power in one of their main server buildings most of peoples accounts were down...or if your internet it off and your games arent "up todate" according to steam... so if you have the cd then you can still play... but the cool thing about the accounts is your house can burn you can break your cds you can destroy your computer.. then you get a new one and BAM you have your games back
