In other news, Sony criticizes Gabe Newell and Microsoft how difficult it is to have decent security. In other news, the founders of all spoken language came back to life and slaughtered the internet. Another thing, I don't see the problem with Steam. I don't have to worry about patches, I don't have to deal with the guy at the counter complaining because I'm not 17 and he wants to enforce a pointless law. To me, Steam is the best thing since loaves of risen grain were cut into pieces that were individually digestible. You can complain all you want, but as long as you have a decent internet connection, Steam is the best we've got. At least this way you don't have to worry about connecting to a server that hasn't been patched. Also, complaining about having to install and customize PC games, think of this. You can play Halo PC (legally) for free online whenever. Halo 2 is something you have to pay for. Also, you can run various things on a PC at the same time, like playing a game while talking to your girlfriend (oh, wait, you probably don't have one) on an instant messenger. When a console allows me to run an MP3 player, chat on IM, edit pictures, write a news story, manage a website, look at bash.org and play Wolfenstein at the same time, I'll start using one instead of my PC. Oh, and I have to be able to access the whole internet (except for paid sites), and play games online (except for MMOs like WoW) for free. And it has to be customizable, not the kind of thing that I have to replace in a few years anyway. I almost forgot that I have to have a choice on what software and hardware goes into it, so there's competition for who has the best parts and they keep getting better. Still disagree?
