Steam is one of the primary reasons why I love gaming on PC.

This topic has been beaten into the ground.

Yes DRM free would be the best. If you can't do that then at least make it Steam DRM and not GFWL/SECUROM/UBICRAP or any of the other completely horrible anti-consumer crap they strap to games.

Most people find the various benefits afforded by Steamworks to outweigh the negatives of the client, sure some people don't and that is fine but no-one can really argue that GWFL or SecuROM is a better alternative.

Fine, but they're using Steam because it's DRM. They're trying to make it sound as if they are doing a favour to pc gamers because they're putting it on steam.

"We also want to make sure that the fans have effortless access to the game, so we’re using Steam’s standard DRM."

Effortless?! Seriously?

Uhm steam's great there drm has been the most hassle free I've seen. AND if you manage to get uncapped its just so much better. Then unexpected updates aren't so bad :)

I find Steam extremely convenient. I've actually started avoiding games that I can't unlock on Steam where possible.

Necropost, but I think this is a relevant thread for this.

Why are 2K published games so expensive compared to the rest of the market? Bioshock Infinite is R450 on pre-order for PC, and Borderlands 2 was also almost R500 at launch.

I paid R350 for Borderlands 2. Not sure why Bioshock is so pricey, but I remember paying R430 for Bioshock 1 on PC when it was released. I'm not too fussed, but it would have been nice if it was more in line with other publishers.

Greenman Gaming has by far the best deal for Bioshock Infinite, even compared to local shops. It even includes some free games.
