6 Comments on F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Coming Soon to D2D and Steam
it's just another irritating requirement, and they charge a load for online purchase too, with VAT on top?! how can you charge VAT on a download? pssh..
Fallout 3 (Pre-Order) $49.95
Tax $3.50
Total $53.45
And VAT would be on top of that too. And back 6 year ago PC games were £30 thats more like $60. So £30.
All though there is a kick ass heath system in the UK and if some one says it's not kick ass trying living with out one as you don't know till you lose it.
2. You don't have tp spend gas money.
3. You get auto updates/ and can't lose the cd,
Tax is government's fault, not steams.
Releasing F.E.A.R 2 online for download should help with the piracy, and will surely invite more morons to play the game. F.E.A.R had so much potential. It could have easily taken over every single first person shooter game and pushed first person shooters to the cutting edge of professional gameplay. I really do hope the game devs dont stop supporting F.E.A.R 2 aswell.
Steam is the worst concept ever. 15 Million people forced to make an account. <--< Seems to me like theres something majorly wrong with the individual identification process that can be easily resolved without 3rd party trojans. <--< Tax that.
If you own the game, you should own the game!
If you want to demo the game, rent it, or try your free download.
Steams anti-cheat protocols suck big time. So much for F.E.A.R.
