I was told by game companies going totally to downloads via the net
using broadband or high speed that by not using dristriution via
retail outlets or a distributor the game companies will be able to
offer the games cheaper online... by cutting out distributors...

Please some dots an paragraphs
English is not my native language but normally I don't have problems
But I had to read your reply three times before I understood your
writing

Now for my reply:

In an interview Doug Lombardi has said that Valve is looking for a new
distributor

Doug Lombardi - We're making arrangements to continue retail
distribution of our products post August 31. Nothing to announce today,
but we hope to have more details to share soon.

Now "I was told by game companies ..."
Any specific companies, any ressources on the itnernet eg interviews,
articels to back you up?

Thanks/Peter
