Did you poodles have the following to? 2 maybe 3 calls that you need that restart steam for a update? Never had that many in just one week!
Yeah noone has something like steam it's great when switshing from computer to a nother one. It's steamy love
EA has something like steam... but that is one thing (thank god) the people dont buy. Normally EA can sell crap easly. Name one good game that EA has developed (dont say team fortress 2, because they only distribute it ). steam has so much advanced above DVD/CD, like streaming, steam clouds, always latest updates... and trust me.. valve has the best server support and the hlupdatetool for downloading servers is really really really easy compare to the other developers, like the game COD4.. damn.. setting up a server sucks bigtime, because you need to upload the serverfile from DVD. They cant be found on the internet! but this is wayyyyyyy to offtopic.. me and my valve-fan-boy
EA isn't really a "true" game developer...they only develop the sports etc series but they've published ass loads of good games (Black, Old Medal of Honor games, Battlefield, Crysis, Half Life 2 for Xbox, Oddworld games, Simcity series and stuff like that). But they've developed some good ones also: Command & Conquer (after they destroyed Westwood) The Godfather: The Game Knockout Kings (whole series) The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth (whole series) Madden NFL (whole series) Some of the Need for Speed games Some of the NHL games Some of the NBA games
