When it comes to downloading games using Steam, a lot of people are getting fed up with the fact that it is costing them more than to buy. This is very strange considering that when you download a game, you do not get any of the packaging. 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.
Of course you can download it again but why should you have to go through the process a second time?
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 is certain and that is Steam have to cope better with their high demand on major release days. Too many people have reported crashes and customers are getting fed up with the bugs in the system.
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. There are bound to be some improvements to Steam if you just stick with it and be patient.
