''assertion, that you need to download a game from Steam even when you have a retail disc is because game sizes are so huge they couldn't fit on a standard DVD. And not enough people have blue ray drives in their PC''
how silly ...
look they all ready come with 6 dvd's in the box and still you got to got kiss steams a$$ ?? so that's not it at all they could put the full game ready to play on say 10 or 12 dvd;s right ???
remember when there were no or not poplure dvd's and games were on lots of cd's ??? its al,about they keep full control over you and there clients on your hard drive
like I showed above
