Why 1C like Steam

Interesting read. It's just a shame PC gamers are not getting the shelf space that console gamers are getting. I would still like to get a hard copy and some sort of users guide. If IC sold hard copies at a respectable price I'd buy from them in a heartbeat. Cutting out the middle man and dealing directly with producers is the reason the Internet is gaining popularity. The only way retailers are going to be able to compete is by supplying a service not just selling someone else's products.
