    XSEED could probably make up for the physical release by making official cover art for people to print, since an empty DVD case is pretty much the same thing.
    Wait does it have to be specifically for Steam? If what you said would be what happend that really wouldn't be good considering i'd still be downloading the game....that sucks. Can't some PC games bought just be compatiable with Steam but still have the game disc(s) instead of a steam installer and code.....or no?

    Steam CD/DVD title installers generally include the full game anyway, so it would only really require patching (if any further patches existed) after installing from the disc.

    Oh i see now. I'm not a PC gamer and never bought a PC game or even bought a game on Steam so i'm not too knowledgable on stuff like that but one day I might get more into PC related stuff.

    Iunno,but physical steam games always looked like glorified backup installers to me.I remember reading that installing from a CD doesn't always work right.And that some games got so many files patched that most of the game ends up being patched anyways (MW2). You could do a steam-free version,I guess (pretty sure valve does not lock you in to their service),but then cost/benefit...

    The best thing about Steam CD/DVD releases is that they are often cheaper than buying directly from Steam. But I guess that only applies to big titles.

    Do they? Neither of the games I've bought (Orange Box and something else, forgot what it was) installed the game off the disc. My brother got Mount and Blade Warband on disc since it was really cheap. Next time I see him I'll have to ask if it installed from the disc.

    They probably do. I bought Skyrim off of a different site (which was selling it 15% off on launch day) and it installed from the datapack I downloaded off of that site.

    Well yeah. Let's take Shogun 2 for example. Normal Steam price 40 euros, usual retail DVD price around 20 euros, Steam midweek madness 10 euros, cheapest retail DVD price around 6 euros.

    And I'm an idiot for buying my 2nd shogun from Steam only to notice few minutes later I could have got it cheaper and easier if I had bought a 2nd DVD. You can't win always, sad
