EA is not going to have anything to do with Steam, only retail software
release.
Don't you just hate it when the facts get in the way of your little tirade. |

Even if Steam/EA/whoever is a secret organization that conspires to take
over the world, is making a great game that i can and like to play... I'll
buy that game and play it. Consumer rights!!!??? What has Steam to do with
consumer rights? Does Steam create legislation? If you don't like
Steam/Valve/whoever, don't buy from them. That simple. If a lot of customers
don't buy a company's products, other companies jump into that void.
The poster is probably someone who LOOOOOOOOVES to complain, moan, bitch,
nag and newsgroups are his/her outlet. Chill out, dude! Get a life! Worry
about things that really matter. |

Sounds tasty, except that this is the first time I've seen a steamKILLER
post quoted since I worked out how to use message filters/killfiles in
Thunderbird, so "grrrr!" to you for replying to him.
And "grrrr!" to me for replying to you for replying to his thread. |

Same here! in fact, I have Tb set to ignore the entire thread when
steamKILLER starts one, so i'm not sure what's gone wrong :-/
