What we are just about to witness is warez groups neatly repackage the online product and share it via P2P or FTPs...Valve is shooting themselves on the feet since a large number of people still don't have the patience/moolah to sit and download games. They have a feeling that they'll release games in the near future like mp3s a la itunes. Well, igames is never ever gonna work out, since everyone can't download a 4 GB distro when their HDD crashes. I can't believe that they chose this dumb route, even with a fully functional Steam emulator available for anyone to play without paying a dime. Look at the bright side...at least it won't feature Starforce 3 (splinter cell : CT yet to be cracked
)
