Man, you and GFWL would get on like a house on fire! (Screams, flames, people running for cover...) How long've you been holding this grudge?
You probably don't game very often since some of the best games of the last 5 years have been distributed through Steam. So since you don't game very often whats the point of whining about Steam, when you clearly don't use it?
Do they still allow you to gift your game licences to people on Steam if you have more than one? When I bought the Orange box I already had HL2 and I thought that was it for that one, but steam let me gift the licence to my mate.
Is this really worth a press release? I'm sure any gaming PC manufacturer would pre install Steam for you if you asked them too. How many will go through the hassle of getting an nVidia card running for PhysX in a Crossfire system? I asked Scan, they said it wasn't possible so I went with Cyberpower because of this thread in their forums.
