Civilization V
look out! Ninjas!:
There was a really basic one where you just used the specific US url but I think they put a stop to that one. I'm more insulted by the fact of it than anything else.
I was probably going to buy it boxed anyway because of the manual, which is usually good reading.

Nope, not buying that. Not from Steam anyway, I'll probably grab a boxed copy off of ebay or PlayAsia. Shit, I could probably get it for that price at JB Hifi in town.

You do realize that all versions of Civ V -- including the standard boxed/retail versions -- will have Steam, right? I'm surprised more people aren't bitching about this.

Nah, I love steam and all its little features. It's just that a few publishers see fit to jack up the price for Australian customers to match the price of physical copies, which sort of defeats the purpose of getting the steam version over that. Especially when you get a big manual and some charts.

In the US at least, it's not publishers doing that, it's retailers. I mean, I'm sure publisher's are perfectly fine with it, but the threat of companiess like Wal-Mart and Gamestop refusing to sell your game because they're being undercut by a digital retailer is what causes a lot of the problem.

I think it's kind of shitty, but in all honesty I have a little over 100 games on Steam and have never had any problems with it. So my complaints would be awfully silly. It's also a much better DRM option than Securom or Starforce and I'm going to guess is probably part of what is going to help along a few features of the game itself what with it supporting Steam Cloud.
