Sorry to ehar about this, glad at least gamergate delivered. Both me and some of my colleagues used gamersgate a few times and so far nobody had any issues with them.

That is not entirely true. AFAIK, they are still delivering SH4 v1.3 and claiming it is v1.4. But, no matter what you buy from them, they do not deliver a copy of the same code that virtually every other reputable vendor provides. Instead, they provide a copy which is cluttered with additional layers of DRM. From a purchaser's point of view, this DRM serves no purpose except to interfere with the purchaser's ability to use the code that he paid for. Since the DRM software does absolutely nothing to add value for the purchaser, and does limit what the purchaser can do with the code he "owns", he has just paid the same price (or more) for less functionality than he could get elsewhere. I do not believe that Steam mentions this anywhere in their sales pitch. So no, they do not deliver the product as you ordered it.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Which is why even though all my friends use it I will never join Steam.

PS. I hope you got your money back from those jackoffs

I have 20+ Steam games.
Never a glitch. No, I do NOT work for Steam.

You live in the USA. You have the right to give your money to anyone you choose. And, as long as they do not violate the fraud laws, they have the right to take it.
