DAE skip on boxed game sales because they'd rather get it on steam even if they have to pay more.

Several times now i have paid more money to get a game on steam, even though i knew i could get it cheaper from another place.

I don't even look at game sales from places like gogamer or amazon anymore because i just can't be bothered to deal with CDs or the useless boxes that just take up space.

Anyone else do this?

I'm the exact opposite. I like having the physical copy of the game.

Are you not from the US?

Yes I'm from the US. I just don't see a reason to own a boxed version of the game. It doesn't really offer you anything besides taking up space.

I like all the community features, the fact that you can port your games to any computer, the nice way it organizes all your games in one place, and all the other small things you get with steam.

I bet there probably is. And I bet there is people who enjoy having the boxes.

I just saved you from reading this whole thread.
