    Steam

    Hi all I am starting to regret buying any games from steam, I have Satelite internet and if there is a cloud in the sky, my connection get's slower and slower. It has taken one full week to download Bioshock, I still have team fortress2 to download You don't ever get the actual software for the game, you just download through steam to play it. I think If you buy a game they should send you a copy of the game. My fault though, I should have read the agreement better before buying. I'm waiting on RAM and OS in the mail and I get to download them again on my new computer. Yay for me huh ?

    I'm sorry to hear the trouble you're having but I am an avid fan of steam.
    By not having to worry about keeping disks/codes I can have my games anywhere, whenever I want. You may want to redirect your dissatisfaction towards your internet provider that seems less than stellar....(pun intended )

    Seems like you just got the short end of the stick with your ISP...

    My only problem was bioshock, but thats not steam related.

    Not getting Comcast, my brother was the one who said it was comming but obviously who'm ever he talked to didn't know what the heck he was talking about. I understand some people that have the good connections may like Steam but for me and the many out there it is just a program running in the background slowing things up. I can't even play single person games on steam if my connection is crappy ( normally is). I bought the game through Steam and I think there should be an option for getting the game sent on CD/DVD for just such people. But It could be worse, I could have payed full price for the games.
