let us know if MW3 is as rubbish as MW2 in multiplayer mode:
IE: Always connect to a host on the other side of the world, no option to kick cheaters, etc etc

You'll probably find that the publisher bowed to pressure from GamePlay Ltd.
Most of the time, its not Valves issue at all, because the publisher sets the release dates. GP are trying to protect their business, by ensuring you get racked off and only ever pre-order from them... they demand from publishers that they get it 'first' before digital distributers, else they wont stock it in their stores at all...
Personally, i keep all my shizz on steam, and GP Ltd. can 'Do One', my local Game+Gamestation have about 0.5m of PC games. Then they bitch about people not using their service? give me a break. I almost always pre-order from steam, and most of my games catalog has moved into my steam library tbh... When stuff has been on sale for like, £2-3. I've bought it again on steam for the convenience, then often flogged the game at £5-10
If you look up GP ltd. and Steam, you'll see all sorts of comments like this, Publishers dont want GamePlay to stop stocking their games, but tbh, They should just let it Happen on a few titles and see how it goes.. its not like the supermarkets etc. wont stock it.
Regards

I'd only pre-order from Steam if the price was the same as ordering the boxed version. You can get Skyrim for a tenner cheaper at Tesco's so Steam is a no-go for that, but I did pre-order Shogun 2 from Steam, only now it want's to do a 20Gb update.... seriously?! Getting older games or packs from Steam is good though, got the entire GTA series for £19.99, only I downloaded GTAIV and not the GTAIV stories pack so I'd have to redownload it again, gah, confusing.

Often (especially more recently) you can get games for an online download at a much cheaper price than other places, the best bit of this is that if you get the product code you can just use that in steam and Robert is indeed your father or mother's brother.
Not that it's steam but that's what I did with BF3 - got a code for just over £30 from somewhere mentioned on hotukdeals.com then just put the code into origin and away I went.

Blame the dev for 0-day patching, not Steam for delivering that content...
