The hard concept of preloading clearly eludes (and how) the Steam digital gaming service (www.steampowered.com). What Steam allows users to do is purchase games online and download them as opposed to having to fire up the gas guzzler and possibly get into an accident in the process. At any rate, Steam allows users to “preload” games prior to their actual retail release date; that way, you don’t have to download the game as soon as it is released. It’s ready to go the same moment that you’d be able to buy the game in a brick and mortar store.
Unfortunately, for the vast majority of the time, after people have already preloaded, by the time any game is actually and finally released, there is some sort of change that forces a complete re-download. It happens time and time again.
Well, I’m sick of it, Steam. So I’m formally filing a complaint as soon as I figure out who that would even go to. I mean it. I really mean it.
