Steam is unjustly preventing me from purchasing Skyrim. Everyone please solidarize with me.



Why would steam prevent you from ordering the game?

While I don't know whether his problem is technical or not, I sadly have to agree with him. I can't buy skyrim because I have capped internet. Even if I buy skyrim from a disc, steam will do the same annoying crap it always does to ruin my pc gaming. If it was just online activation I would be fine, that doesn't take anything at all out of my internet limit.... However... Well I will just quote it.

"You'll be asked to enter your Steam account name and password to log
onto Steam authentication servers, then setup will start. If you don't
have a Steam account you'll be asked to register one before installing
Skyrim. Note that some of the files may be pulled from the internet
through the Steam client to complete the installation, rather than all
being on the DVD."


Its the bit I bolded that gets me. For some god damn reason certain game require you to download ENTIRE CHUNKS of the game through steam EVEN IF YOU BOUGHT THE DAMN DISC. Civilization V did this to me, Dawn of War 2 and retribution did this to me, its just ridiculous.

And I am not talking about a few megs here, when developers suddenly decide to not put the entire game on the dix I have to download GIGS of data her, on average 2 gigs if I am lucky (for civ it was about 5.) Its stupid, it invalidates the entire POINT of buying retail, and makes me unable to play the game I buy unless I can borrow internet access from friends or family.

UGH.

I wish my Gamestop would break street date. *sigh* They’re having some sort of costume contest along with the release, so no chance of that happening. Hopefully it won’t be too long of a wait to get the game.


The manager told me that they had about three-hundred for the MW2 release last night and managed to herd them all out before 1:00am. The drive home is going to be the longest drive ever.


And, Werewolf, FTW!

Yikes, I dropped by one of my local Gamestops earlier and the place had the longest line I've ever seen in a game store - all there to pick up MW3. It was horrible... I left as quickly as I walked in.

I'm going back on Friday later in the day for Skyrim, so I hope I won't have to put up with that sort of line then.

I appreciate it. Its sucks big time, and believe me if I could go back to normal broadband I could. If only AT&T would get some goddam competition out here, then maybe they would get some incentive to actually offer proper service to everyoe.

What country do you live in and if it's the U.S. what internet service are you using DSL? As I've heard that there are some DSL for which will only allow you to download xx amount of data at a time and its bs.

Now what I can't understand is the fact of why they don't put the whole game on disk? After all we pay out $60 bucks for the game we should have the whole game on disk not just 75 or 80% of the game. They make it hard for the ones for which have capped internet.

As for me I've got cable internet and don't have to worry about it. To be honest with you I don't think that I've got a capped limit on mine as I've never reached it.

I'm going into excitement overload right now. I have off on Friday (took a vacation day), and I can safely say I will sleep only two more times before release.

I want to be out exploring right now. Ugh, its Tuesday. C'mon, Friday!!!!!!

US here. The united states is nowhere near uniform with internet access. I used to have DSL, but had to move a little farther out of town into the country for space reasons. Well its all gravy except the only internet I can get is expensive as hell satellite connection, or AT&T MIFI which allows about 8 gigs for a month. >.>

Needless to say ever since the recent push to digital on just about everything, I have had a seriously frustrating gaming experience, especially when it comes to steam. Word of advice to steam users, if for whatever reason you have to transfer your games from one computer to another NEVER EVER USE THE BACKUP FEATURE. EVER!!!!.

Just copy and paste the steamapps file. Steam will have to download a few files, but its better than downloading the whole game again which the backup feature makes you do.

I was going to but I want my first playthrought to be perfect so I'm going with a Nord (because I'm not planning on doing everything with one character. I'll have all diffrent kinds like Mages who join the Colleged, and an Assassin for the Brotherhood).

I'll make the (AWESOME) Argonians my second time around.

I usually role Argonian my first time.  But I haven't officially decided.  Chances are I will anyway.

*Raises hand*

I've decided since 6 months ago that I will be playing an Argonian Marine/Assassin with Sub Zero powers =]
I will probably play every race eventually, though.

The reason is to prevent piracy before the release date.

As we have seen, the Xbox version was pirated last week by an unscrupulous journalist who had access to an early preview copy.

As for the PC version, there have been no cracks, no pirated copies whatsoever. And this is thanks to the Steamworks release control, which makes it impossible to crack before release date.
