Steam Sale

[Twelvevolts]

There have been some great game bargains in the Steam sale, the only problem is the bandwidth downloading the games is eating up my monthly allocation at a rapid rate. However in some cases they are almost giving the games away when you'd still pay a reasonable price for them in a New Zealand store.

And Merry Xmas all.

Bought "Battlefield 2: Complete Collection" but only Battlefield showed up on my account. Now they are stuffing me around.

Sc*#w Steam.

I purchased the oddbox & unreal deal. I am going to leave them downloading while I'm on holiday & probably chew up the remaining 1GB on this months cap & a fair chunk of next months cap

Had three games in one and got them all, no problems so far.

Would like to confirm i can transfer files to a second computer without downloading again, haven't tried it yet.

I should have known that an Xbox game ported to PC wouldn't be very good. Pity. I enjoyed Stranger's Wrath on Xbox

I hate Steam, I'd rather buy a game on a CD, and without any DRM or online activation

1) I know the disc will always be there and will always work, and if need be I can easily make a backup
2) I know that no matter if the software company goes bust, I can still play the game
3) Any patches which may be released can be downloaded and stored offline, avoiding any need to re-download in future.
4) I don't need to install some crappy piece of software to waste even more system resources doing things which I can quite easily do for myself, better than it can.

Yes. But it isn't 100% reliable, sometimes the games end up broken... But it works most of the time.

Steam -> Backup

Just copy the Steam Apps folder across.
The other computer may need to go online to claim 'ownership' of the apps.
