For those of you who were opposed to Steam (as I am), MI2:SE is now available on Direct2Drive and I am downloading as I type this! :)

    Ditto. I snapped this up as soon as I saw it available on their site. I like D2D because you don't have to be connected to the Internet to play your games, which is a silly restriction, I think.

    But also not a big deal either. Glad it's available for all the whiners, though. At least we can stop listening to them complain and rant about how Steam makes them feel like criminals or something...

    Just kidding guys :).

    More like how unreliable internet connection in this area makes it uncertain if you you will be able to play the game that's paid for and physically on your computer or not.

    There's offline mode.

    Explain to me how a digital game can be "physically on your computer"?

    Offline mode, in my experience, has been...somewhat of a mixed bag, if not activated while online. It's been somewhat of an annoyance to me in the past, with a section of my game library being cut off to me from time to time, while all other verified executables just run.

    All digital storage has to have some physical basis. In the case of a digital game being physically on the computer, it means that the magnetic hard drive has been physically altered in such a way that it contains the game data.

    I would think that everybody who's anybody who would download games (or anything else) from the net, ought to be able to activate while online.

    Personally, it would seem to me that people who have a computer without internet access (including spending $10 per month for dialup) are in the dark ages.

    I don't understand what this means. How does someone feel like a criminal for buying a game from Steam?

    It's a reference to this post.

    This. Come on, remember how annoying it was to have to have the CD in the drive to play a game? Or type out those insanely long CD Keys? You'd prefer that? Really? Online activation is just the newest thing now that everyone's gonna hack on. People even hated the code wheels back in the day and now people love them. Passage of time/nostalgia/times change and people don't want to change with it and all that.
