Aye oh look you pay extra and you dont get a box or instructions or anything, the least they could do is post you the game after you have bought it. Seeming you are cutting out the middle man, I wouldnt mind if they was cheaper but look at how much dark messiah and other games are, bit of a piss take tbh.

True enough Re0 but you are cutting out the shops so in a sense you are cutting out some of the middlemen !

Sending the buyer a CD after they buy it kinda destroys the point of being able to download content online. Steam also gives you the ability to burn your games onto DVD, so I don't see it as a problem. They also have a load of manuals/FAQ's you can download/save or print out.

The point is ralinn I dont mind that if they are cheaper, but look at dark messiah its more than 10 quid extra than in alot of shops, kinda defeats the point, then as a added bonus u dont get a boxed copy and its limited to your steam account. No more lending your mates the game to try and convince them how good it is. Anyway back to Medeval total war 2, I am going to buy this as soon as possible as to say I was addicted to rome total war was a slight understatement.
