Yeah, but this leads back to another conversation we've had about not
being able to actually run the game without Steam, so it's kind of the
same scenario, except that you download the game, but if Steam were to
shut down, you would be left with crap on your computer that wouldn't run.

I'm sure I do also, around here somewhere. I just haven't had a CD/DVD
ROM in ages, so it doesn't really matter where they are. ;)

Agreed. I don't mind renting them for a few dollars, knowing that I'll probably
never watch them again. But that's the same reason I usually
wouldn't pay full price for them at all, either.
