Steam sucks want physical copy

[cashxx]

I posted here a week or so ago about wanting physical media for the new Arma updates BAF and PMC and was told to go and download them at steam. Steam sucked the last time I used it and still sucks today.

Why can't I buy the physical media? I don't like the digital downloads!

I just tried to download the updates on steam and says:
Your transaction failed because you are trying to buy a game that requires ownership of another game you do not currently own. Please correct the error and try again.

I have the U.S. copy of Arma 2 and Arma 2: OA. Do I have to buy everything again off of steam? Not going to happen!

I added the games to my steam library and still no luck in purchasing the updates.

Could have had the physical media and installed by this time!

Download them at Sprocket. Easier to work with and more money to the developers.

There is no physical product for BAF or PMC, nor do you need to get them from Steam (and shouldn't since you have the DVD installs of A2/OA).

If you want them simply buy them from Sprocket Idea via PayPal/CC/whatever. You can pay in US dollars.

Isn't sprocket the same crap as steam? I can't believe I am the only idiot who wants the physical media.

You're not the only one who would like a disk to look at, but you can wish in one hand and shit in the other and tell me what fills up quicker...

Sprocket is far less complicated than Steam in my opinion.

No sprocket is nothing like steam! Sprocket is just a company selling the digital media for download you DO NOT have to login to sprocket to play the games after you purchase them. Once you have purchased the title you are free put the install file(s) onto a disc keeping it for backup much like a store bought disk.

Ok guys....thanks for the info! I went with sprocket and have them downloading. I hate steam and won't use it again. Just have to figure out how to back these up now. Guessing they are in Program Files somewhere. Thanks again!

Get the game at Sprocket, it's BIS' store. Plus they have a simple download, that's what I used too. I wouldn't ever consider buying from Steam.

BAF and PMC = DownLoadable Content = No physical media.

I don't know how many times we discussed that in the past. Why is that so hard to understand?
No one is forcing you to use Steam, use Sprocket instead.
