So I've had Steam for a long, long time now. I like it!
My current computer is several years old... Still have a pentium 4 3.2ghz, windows xp, blah blah blah...
Anyway, I'm building a new computer (finally!) and I'm looking to purchase several new games.
I have noticed that most, if not all of the games I'm going to be buying are available on Steam, although not at their lowest prices. What do you guys think? Is it worth paying an extra 5, or even 10 bucks to have games permanently associated with my Steam account?
I found this https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-wusf-3601, an article which lists all the games I can purchase outside of steam, and associate with steam. None of the games I'm getting are on it...
The list of games I want to buy when I finally build a computer worthy of playing them is such...
Borderlands
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Rift
Mass Effect 1 & 2
and Fallout 3
All of which I can buy via amazon cheaper, none of which are on that list of retail versions I can associate with Steam.
What are your guys' thoughts on this?
