You know, if you don't have the executable files for a game, all that gamedata is just a fancy unusable collection of bits. That's the point of preloading on Steam. Bethesda's not fully grasping Steam's capabilities, and it is a annoying pity.f1d3lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862901183059738527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18259946.post-11249083662303323582008-10-25T21:29:00.000-07:002008-10-25T21:29:00.000-07:00I can't say as I'm particularly wedded to having a...I can't say as I'm particularly wedded to having a physical copy.Tateru Ninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14511461929629749578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18259946.post-39268992621702216142008-10-25T20:43:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:43:00.000-07:00Yea I think I would.Yea I think I would.Frans Charminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414817061615987782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18259946.post-44081966325264799272008-10-25T20:32:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:32:00.000-07:00Wouldn't you rather pay the extra € so you can hav...Wouldn't you rather pay the extra € so you can have a physical copy ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18259946.post-16428998676455421292008-10-25T19:02:00.000-07:002008-10-25T19:02:00.000-07:00The fallout 3 price on steam is actually about 6 t...The fallout 3 price on steam is actually about 6 to 7 euros cheaper then in the stores here in holland.
