So last night I use my Best Buy gift card (Christmas gift) to pick up some games. For the first time in my life I found myself wishing these were Steam activated titles, I don't want to mess with manually looking for and downloading updates... and I don't want to mess with having to keep up with the cds to play the game. Interesting because I used to never think twice about using a crack on my games so I could play without them but now I guess in some ways Steam has made me lazier. I just want to log in and have all games ready at the click of a mouse.
