Are People Bored Of Using Steam To Download Games

When it comes to downloading games using Steam, a lot of people are getting fed up with the fact that it is costing them more than to buy. This is especially strange seeing as you don’t have any packaging to go with your new game. If you are paying around fifty pounds for a game then the least you will want is some pack that you can put on your shelf as evidence or a backup in case you need to install it again on a new system.

Of course you can download it again but why should you have to go through the process a second time?

What is more annoying is when the unbelievable happens like when Call of Duty Black Ops was released. Everyone who had decided that it would be a good idea to sit outside the shops until the game was released was told that they would have to download the game via Steam, when they got home.

What is even stranger is at the same time as all the people who had queued all night and were downloading Black Ops through steam, the game could not be bought from Steam because you had to get the box from the shop.

So how much of the 50 is actually saved by the game developers in order to put the players through so much trouble and the real question is do you think it’s worth it? One thing is certain and that is Steam have to cope better with their high demand on major release days. Too many people have reported crashes and customers are getting fed up with the bugs in the system.

Although most of us are happy enough with the idea behind Steam, it is the implementation of it that is bothering us. However with such a rapidly growing service there are bound to be some bugs but the crashes should be few and far between now because of investments in infrastructure. If you stick with it, you should see improvements to Steam.
