Re: Steam has changed me said by Nightfall:As for the second point, that is incorrect. Lets say a tornado comes through and wipes your house out. You get insurance money for a new computer, and when you log into Steam you can redownload your game and play it. Really, you don't need to get anything for them because they are always available to you. Well that is interesting, and kinda cool... but if your computer was wiped, and you're on a new PC, new ISP etc how can you recover your Steam Login?
I think I'd still prefer to have the physical item somewhere. Course Steam has an advantage if you have kids in one regard. Kids always seem to lose, scratch, and trash the discs. If you have Steam, well, not a problem. Still tho you can't trade or sell the games....

If you have Steam, well, not a problem. Still tho you can't trade or sell the games.... Any game that comes with a unique serial key isn't really a prime candidate for reselling value. I would NEVER buy a used game that requires a unique serial key. Who knows where the original owner has used that key, or kept a copy of it for that matter. With more and more games coming with unique keys, the reselling value of these games are pretty much non-existant unless you REALLY know the person selling the game.
Lastly, I don't sell games to be honest. Every game I have ever bought I have kept. I suppose thats a personal preference though. | |
