Good on them! I haven't had any bad experiences with Amazon yet, and as much as I like Desura, it just can't compete with Steam and Origin

Now if they added Ubuntu support....

Another fraud everyone should be aware of is the Amway Tool Scam. Google "Stop The Amway Tool Scam Wordpress" for more information, and forward this information to every non-Distributor/IBO you know, so they don't get ripped off.

Oh great ... another venue for price hiding and micro transactions. This kind of crap is just plain deceptive and I with it would go away. I don't want a financial relationship with my game. I want to pay one price, then it is mine.

Agreed, the whole freemium model and idea of having to continually part with money to enjoy yourself ticks me off. But since it's convenient to coerce users into paying for more on the PC (as well as on consoles), it's not going anywhere any time soon. Having said that, I don't mind DLC; buying expansions to a game is similar to buying another game, with the knowledge that it will be similar.
