Over the past year we`ve seen the retirement of the DR`s from Bioware and now J Wilson leaving D3. This is troubling.

Dawn of War II From a pure value staid point I`ve gotten more enjoyment for the money from this serieis then anything I`ve ever bought. I paid $30 each for DoW2, Chaos Rising and Retribution. I`ve logged well over 1000 hrs on these. It has been absolutely fantastic. It has the best music and sound effects, Voice work I can remember. Those are important things for me. The MP is really where it takes off. I`ve nev

I like SC2, played it quite frequently for awhile. I`m glad they didn`t change it dramatically from the original. There are quite a few changes that make it a different game. Most have already been listed here. Having said that, I`ve gone back to DoW2. I just like Relic`s games better. I have a hard time going to an rts that dosen`t have a cover system now. I also like the focus on fewer units, Each unit is critical to success.

I don`t care how badly PC games do at retail anymore. I usually buy games on steam during their crazy sales. I was interested in Alpha protocol, I was going to buy it at retail.

I fully except Activision/Blizzard to turn Battle.net Into a steam competitor. I hope they do. We as PC game player`s need that competition. Steam as the only route to PC games is a terrible thing. I think Valve is smart enough not to alienate their core audience . They treat PC gamer`s very well with free update`s and games. I don`t want Valve calling the shots for PC games. I don`t want anyone c

I don`t want to be forced to use steam. It`s happening right now. Most PC games are using steamworks. It drive`s me mad, I understand Dev`s and Pub`s need to protect their property. I`m all for that. Steamworks is fine for DD. If I buy a box at retail, I don`t want steam forced down my throat.

Steam is the best DD service. There is no way around that. I own 6 games on impulse, I own 62 on steam. The great magority of new PC games are using steamworks for DRM and MP functionalty. Civ 5, Fallout New vegas and DoW2 Retribution are steam games. You can`t compete with that. I don`t like it, I`m a Valve fanboy. Microsoft recently announced the Games for Windows live marketplace, A direct competitor in the DD arena. I
