please explain me how can i separate when the distribution method forbids
me from playing the actual game!
how many times do i have to say: valve wants a revolution in pc games
distribution and its causing massive amounts of casualties among many
gamers, one of them is me!
gotw has to be UNIVERSAL! and steam is the OPPOSITE of universal!

you know as well as i do that riddick is in many lists the second after
hl2 when it comes to best of 2004
so if hl2 is disqualified cause of steam, who would be the new number
one? is it so difficult to admit riddick is the real gotw!

i haven't bought riddick neither the other two you mention so i can't
talked about specifics, but being short is not a bad thing! its almost
like you saying a movie with 3 hours is always best than a movie with
1.5 hours, so short has nothing to do with quality, and the next thing
you talk about is a consequence of pc games being still dependant on
consoles cause what you talk about is unfortunately present is almost 90%
of pc games released, so please the place to complain about it is to
fight consoles and making pc games the first platform for electronic
games, only this way will pc games be free from "porting" releases and
become a platform where games are created from the start

i feel sorry for not having a powerfull hardware and not having the
cash to buy those 3 games, cause i would make you eat your words!

again... so for you short is bad and cheap is also bad... oh god...
you are just another snobbish steam lover always ready to pay valve big
bucks and spend vast amount of hours worshiping your master playing hl2
endlessly until your brain explodes
