Steam is a supporting service* for the game, not the game itself... charging for Steam would be a bit like Amazon charging entry to their websiteMatthew wrote:A rock in which I heard you have to buy a game from steam i order to download it?ngtm1r wrote:What rock do you live under that you think the service itself would cost money to download?Matthew wrote:Does STEAM cost money to download or is it free?
*it's a shop, but also provides functionality that can be integrated into the games upon it, ergo service.
Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
20Does anyone on the Steam group not own Civilization V and want a copy? I just got one with my X-COM preorder, everyone I've directly asked already owns it.

21I would say no and then yes, but I hate taking things without offering recompense. (seriously. I often don't even take free biscuits at conferences.)ngtm1r wrote:Does anyone on the Steam group not own Civilization V and want a copy?

So, er, if you don't find anyone else, you could hold onto it until Christmas or such and - if they have similar shenanigans as to last time - maybe I'll be able to offer a swap.
Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
22I'm an RTS/TTS fan and I liked Civ IV. I'm not in the Steam group but I could join. And unlike Aldo, I have no morals.
Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
23I don't own it. But if someone else wants it, give it to them. (I also need to check the section of the forum more frequently, apparently)

Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
24Okay, I can apparently only give it to someone on my friends list, so aldo'll have to accept that invite.
Sorry aldo, I know how terrible it is to be associated with me. If you still want the game, anyways.

Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
25Well I just bought the game when it was on sale for Black Friday, so take me off the "I want that" list.
Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
26Thanks - I owe you one. Especially as it saved me succumbing to the 'buy new things' itch.ngtm1r wrote:Okay, I can apparently only give it to someone on my friends list, so aldo'll have to accept that invite.

On that subject, what's on your wishlist?
Re: Sectorgame Steam Group
27In all honesty I can't say there's anything on there I desperately want.
Currently it's got Strike Suit Zero, KSP, and the recent Duke Nukem 3D steam release. As well as Recettear/Chantelise since forever but those two have been there years; if I really wanted them I think I'd have bought them.
Oh, and the new Tomb Raider, but unless you can magically get it for under 30 bucks...

Also, I joined, finally.
