Good to know that you've been collating everyone's opinions. I'm 20 years old, been playing Civ since I was six years old with Civ II in 1996 and I love Steam too. I don't see how it's only "new" people who will use Steam and, if that was true even, why that is a bad thing. If gaming series...

Yeh, I fully agree. I'm essentially looking at paying £24.99 for Civ V or £39.99 for Civ V + Babylon Civ. There are far better ways of doing a deluxe edition without demanding further payment to have a fully set of civs.

To be honest they're all soverign states unlike England.

Some people are really showing an awful sense of geography and politics in this thread. The Vatican, Andorra and Monaco are just as much a country as the US is.

Stop talking utter false rubbish. It's kind of clear you're trying to cause trouble and either you do know that nothing is required or you're clueless and making it up as you go along. Steam doesn't care about what computer it is used on - it's one of the main selling points of its DRM. Feel...

Yeh because I want these features separate for every game I play. :rolleyes:

In all honesty, I can't be bothered going to that trouble as I have no great vested interest in this argument and, moreover, there is no figure where my point is right or wrong. All I can say is that the top ten current sellers on Steam are all non-Steamworks games and all of them I can find at...

Look at how many people buy games on Steam where Steam isn't a requirement (as the game isn't Steamworks'd). If it was such a negative then they wouldn't be bought through Steam.

Then you're completely unfamiliar with what adware actually is. Next you'll be telling me that Civ V is adware as it will present the logos of the game developer and publisher during the opening sequence. Just because Steam has little value for you it doesn't mean that there isn't (quite...

Hardly, they have the reputation they do as every game is off a high quality and they're still patched and updated even years later. It's no wonder that when you do that, games such as Team Fortress 2 continue to sell well years later. Why do MMOs sell well for years? Because their constantly...

Most gaming fans know what is meant by the major labels i.e. labels who release dozens and dozens of games a year like EA. Valve might be a high-value company but their release schedule is still that of a much smaller label... and is it any wonder who does a better job of updating and...

The game is £40 in the UK. Just reduced to £29.99 on Steam right now and £24.99 on Amazon.

DLC isn't a bad thing if done correctly. Expansions for Civ are a form of paid DLC in the sense of being additional content for a core game. Games being released in a episodic form are also quite a good example of good DLC too. Low cost for the first part of the game and a similar cost for...

I said that was exactly the case so there's no dishonesty at all. Blaming Steam for DLC is ludicrous as the developers behind Steam have never used DLC in any of their games and Steamworks was fairly late in adding a DLC system. They added a DLC system as clearly there's a demand for it from...

As I already said, Steam was fairly late to the party in terms of DLC as Valve never never used it themselves. They were inevitably going to add the DLC feature to Steamworks as the market (in terms of publishers and developers) demanded it. They aren't going to cut their nose to spite their...
