RE: Pirated Amnesia
I was honestly considering getting the retail version because I prefer to have a hardcopy rather than one on steam, which will only last until VALVe for some reason goes belly up (its always a possibility). But the box art is just. Aweful.

RE: Pirated Amnesia
If Steam service dies, I'll still have access to the games via Frictional's own online store, and I'm sure they'd try to grant amnesty to other such orphans of VALVe.

I have a feeling if valve hits a bump hard enough in the economy to knock them out of business, frictional probably hit one years before. I mean its a shitty thing to say, but valves got income from a shitton of places because of steam.

RE: Pirated Amnesia
I highly doubt that Valve will simply plummet. And even if they do, they probably have a backup plan for their customers.
What some people don't realize is that you're probably more likely to lose all your retail games in a house fire than Valve is to lose their servers due to an economic depression.

Yeah I know, but still you never know, shit can happen out of the blue that no one sees.
And theres always the possibility that the community will release a hack that lets you run steam games anyways despite the fact the servers are no more. In fact its more than likely seeing how huge of a player base is on steam. Idk, I guess I'm just old fasion like that where I like to own a hard copy. Fuck I don't even use iTunes, I buy cd's.

As I mentioned above, Minecraft has 10x the sales, but only 2x the torrent distributors. A Google search on the subject also turns up twice the hits for Amnesia. It seems like more people are pirating Amnesia and we think there are two main reasons for this. Both of them are related to the single-player nature of the experience.
Minecraft doesn't need to be torrented, theres minecraftSP which is basically a slightly modified viewer of minecraft in which it doesn't check if you actually bought the game. So you just go to mediafire or somewhere and download the exe. This is most likely how most people steal it.

Why would steam service die, it's the lead digital distribution sevice and valve got more than 1 billion dollars from steam alone last year.
