[quote]Also, just because you don't to use a certain way of purchasing & playing a game, does not mean others should not be able to. You can still just buy the game on Windows Live. This shouldnt even be a problem for you, since you said you would not be using steam. Why bother hoping that others won't be able to?[/quote]

Yeah, Steam is great for the people that like it. However, having it as the ONLY option would not be good.
