I wish more software was electronically delivered. It's a PITA to go to the shop and look for it, or order it online and hope you are in when the postman delivers.
Bandwidth is cheap, so hopefully we will see reduced costs as well. -----Original Message----- From: bbrcs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 August 2004 20:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] Steam Future in Marketing This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I know you can buy CZ through Steam and have it downloaded "right now". Do you think this is going to be the future in software delivery? You go to the store and purchase a CD-Key or you obtain one through some secure site. Then you can pop in your Key at any time and download the media. I guess I found one enterprising young lad that thinks he can do that. Taking advantage of the CZ / CS:S beta through steam also I see. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=aaapcgame &include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50 He claims he is buying the games in bulk and sends you the key and then destroys it. No shipping of the media / key is actually snail mailed to you. -- _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
