Everyone but me HATES Steam. Run for the hills!
It's not issues with Vista. It's issues with ancient code not being updated to work on systems produced in the last decade. Lucasarts should never have rereleased those games if they couldn't make a better job of it than that.

I don't, for starters. But there certainly are a few people here who're quite... uh, vocal about their dislike of Steam.

Yeah, it's rather surprising how many people are ready to jump on the Steam hate wagon at any minute. Weclock used to passively dislike Steam. Now? Any topic made about Steam is promptly answered with a "Fuck Steam!"
EDIT: Just checked Steam's Top Sellers list, and... wow. Jedi Knight Collection is beating out Batman: Arkham Asylum! Holy crap! Yeah, I like Jedi Knight, but come on!

That may have something to do with the temporary suspension of his account. But I doubt that his accepting fraudulent freebies from completely unknown strangers exactly helped much...

I find your lack of fandom ... disturbing. ;)
Holy crap! Just checked the mail and there's Darkforces 2. Speak of the devil. Now to check wine compatibility.
There are certain titles I can't find on steam or direct2rive but can find on GOG, which I am here. I have been looking for a way to get the original dark forces and I flipped out yesterday when I learned that steam now has that and every other first person jedi game.
I also don't understand the hatred for steam, I have never had any problems with it. Also, as far as DRM goes, I believe many forget that needing the CD in the drive in order to play a game was a form of DRM. Maybe we can't call it DRM but it is still the same principal. I don't find needing to be online to play a game a problem which is the way it is with steam. I can understand peoples anger with DRM programs that are potentially harmful to their computer, especially when you are not told that it is gonna be installed on your computer. I get that. But steam? I don't get that.

It's actually quite different.
With a mere disc check, as long as I have that disc I can play the game. I can reinstall it as often as I like without having to deactivate or re-download it, I can loan it to a friend, I can sell it, whatever. Nobody can take this away from me. The company can be bought out or hit by a meteor or whatever and I still have my game and can continue to play as if nothing had happened. The same applies to GOG (as long as I have made a backup, obviously).
With DRM the company operating the activation server can take away my access at any time because I installed it too many times, lost my internet access, or simply seemed to be acting a bit too much like a filthy, greedy pirate. Suddenly, my previously functional PC game gets turned into a $50 coaster. I can't play it again without pleading with tech support. When the game's activation server has gone offline--and for non-Steam activation titles such as BioShock this is not an if but a when--I am left with no choice but to use a questionably legal crack to turn my coaster back into a game.

Oh, I don't hate Steam. I just hate the idiots behind it. After all, why hate a program that is incapable of feeling when you can hate the monkeys that make all the bad choices? =P

The analogy does not apply. As Weclock has put it, Steam is a rental service.

If steam goes out of business and they allow a way to coninue playing games downloaded through steam, I believe we would have to take back calling it a rental service.
Like you said. If.
So I guess we're to take Lucasarts recent affair with Steam as a signal that they're firmly in the "fuck the consumer, we're gonna DRM-it-up like it's no tomorrow so we can tell stockholders that we've taken reasonable steps to protect our IP while also capitalizing on it" camp and that they'll never release ANYTHING on GoG?
Quite sad. Even more sad is that Steam is such a large and powerful audience that Lucasarts isn't going to suffer for it. It's only our loss, not theirs.
GOG would have actually made sure these old classics would have WORKED on our modern systems without a hitch.
All the complaints I see about this release and I have to say, every game works PERFECTLY for me.
Like, I didn't even have to tweak them or anything... full 3D acceleration in DF2 even. It all just works.
I guess I'm lucky...
It's an awesome deal for $20 as well, even if you remove DF2 from the equation.

Cliftor: GOG would have actually made sure these old classics would have WORKED on our modern systems without a hitch.

From what I understand, most issues need the source code to fix, and it was lost.
And GOG is not as great at making games work as people claim. Usually it is bare-bones compatability fixes patched on, and Steam does similar stuff (and did on these games). There are tons of tech issues on these forums for every game, and some games, like Sacrifice I know, do not work right on 64bit systems.

Yeah, and I'm not even that big a fan of Star Wars. I'm a Star Trek person, myself, but I do appreciate the Star Wars stuff too. Worth $20, but DF2 crashes when I exit the settings.
