I hope MW2 tanks horribly(but it probably won't). This is however, an acceptable complaint about steamworks, and I'm sure Valve is going to rectify it eventually.

I've pointed this out before but I guess it's just a favourite whine for our Euro-members to have with their cheese.

Perhaps, but it's an entirely justifiable whine. If your price is US$45 and my price is US$45, why should theirs be US$66? There must be more to this than the publisher alone - it has to be something in Valve's system if they are being overcharged for their games and those of us in Australia are not.

Sorry Steam, you are not satisfying me, so you won't have my money. Plain and simple.

Never even heard of the latter two companies in OP.

While I do like Steam as an all in one platform for purchasing and updating etc and the encryption that comes on MW retail dics is currently the only thing preventing it from being heavily pirated, I do think that after a game's unlock date is passed you should be able to play your game independently from steam. After all, once that activation date comes, copy's fill the net so it can't be a piracy reason after that.
I understand IW using the steamworks protection for their physical discs, but after launch they should allow steamless version for sale through other on-line sellers like WB Games did with F.E.A.R. 2.

Only if you 'check in' every once in a while, as I remember.

I ****ing hate Steam. I try to get games w/o using steam if I can, because it's always a hassle trying to buy anything using steam, at least over here.
Jesus Christ if I wanted to use 5 CD-ROMs to install a game instead of downloading it at speeds less than 5mb/s I should be ****ing allowed to because it's obvious that I want to install faster. Same goes for DVDs.

Well you are in the technoporium ograsmatron techno-central **** South Korea. I live in USA. For Steam, we are talking 23 kB/s download at top speed.
OK, I don't know. My connection was recently upgraded to a 'blazing' down speed of 250kB/s, rarely reached.
