The most awful thing I have ever experienced in PC gaming (I am quite old you might imagine, 45- as a matter of fact)! What is this Steam nonsense?
I have had Skyrim crash on me repeatedly with Steam errors, spent ages deleting registry entries and reinstalling Steam, only for it to interupt the game constantly. I have been 'denied access at this time' to Skyrim for the past couple of days, subjected to unwanted advertising and in game 'stats' that I really don't want- why not give your customers the option of installing Steam Bethesda? I have bought Arena, Dagerfall, Morrowind, Morrowind GOTY, Oblivion, Shivering Isles, Fallout 3 (advised against New Vegas due Steam and bugs) and I have had a perfectly realised 'experience' without any uneccessary intervention, up to now.
I paid retail price for the game so why can I not use it when I decide, in the same way I can read any books I bought, DVD's, coffee, my car, flushing toilet all of which are available ALL THE TIME!
This is a very cynical and sinister development and an insult to your customers Bethesda.
....grrrrrrrrr.........

Mine worked great pops.
