you have to admit this is dumb:
 
 
 

Mac Users:

If you are using a Mac, you will not be able to install from the disc. Please double-click on the game in your Library list to begin downloading and installing the software.

 
so why buying discs then?

That must be new, back when I bought CS:S and TF2 on disc (before TF2 became free) they both installed from the discs without any of that ****

It's only for Skyrim, me thinks.

So you don't pay for PC games at all then? There's so few games without intrusive DRM now. Steam is not even half as bad as some of the others. 
 
Complain all you want but Steam is a great service. As long as you've got internet to validate the install you can play your games without an active connection. Unlike a lot of the more recent games like Assassin's Creed 2 which require a constant connection.

Also, Progger...You'd want to update the game even if you installed with the discs. Glitches galore, etc.

EDIT: Sure we'd all like the no-DRM golden days to return, but it'll never happen. I prefer Steam because everything else is just ridiculous now-a-days. It really streamlines everything and I love it...

Not many.  I haven't been playing many PC games lately so I'm unsure of the state of DRM but there's still plenty of oldies I missed out on in the past on GOG that I buy from time to time.

2011 wasn't so bad. It wasn't exactly great either.
