The Week in News: Steamy Edition

Gamer Limit writes "Modern Warfare 2 is shaping up to be not only one of the year's most eagerly anticipated games, but also one of the most controversial. First it managed to rile PC gamers with its lack of dedicated servers and then it was revealed that the game will act as a training ground for aspiring terrorists, or at least that's what Jack Thompson will undoubtedly proclaim. But then it committed the most heinous crime of all – PC buyers will have to endure being chained to that most loveable of clients, Steam. This in turn enraged digital distributors Direct2Drive and GamesGate, who refused to even stock the game. Ooo controversy!"

I love Steam, never tried Direct to Drive or any other PC digi distribution service.Doubt this boycott will do anything at all though, not when the unstoppable juggernaut MW2 is involved.

I've tried Impulse and GamersGate. Both are pretty cool, but they can't come close to the deals and selection Steam has.
