WTF? These people are crazy... I am not about to try anything of the sort! I already completed my part of the deal, I paid for the game, and installed it...

So, after an installation fiasco caused by Steam and Steam alone, b/c if Bethesda had simply sent the game out on discs with an activation code all would have worked....

Now....

Save Games, literally hours of our time, are being corrupted and destroyed by Steam. Which, by extension, are being destroyed by Bethesda.

Not by Obsidian. They made a great game. The platform is obviously stable b/c FO3 never, in all my 100s of hours, ate a save.

But, many of us have lost hours and hours b/c Bethesda decided to slap PC users in the face and force feed us Steam which is destroying the saves.

So thanks, Bethesda. It's nice to see the platform that extends the shelf-life of your games through modding get screwed in such a royal way.

There is no logical reason for Steam to have been part of this release. None. Once again nothing really will stop pirates but, in the meantime, you've managed to give the finger to every loyal fan who spends hundreds of dollars on your product, especially in a tight economy.

I'm not going to pretend that I'm going to stop buying the games - the games are wonderful - but your treatment of PC users leaves a lot to be desired and is beyond angering.

(A few moments ago I went to play for an hour before work only to discover that 5 hours of play last night had disappeared due to Steam eating my save game - hence this post)

You're a moron, at least with respect for no reason to use steam. There are bugs, and they svck and need to get fixed. No argument there. However, DRM of some kind is a must. Debates can be made as to whether the DRM is successful, but it would be fiscally irresponsible to not even bother to attempt to protect their property.

Look I rather the game didnt come on Steam but its a lil late to whine about it now.
