Is anyone else hesitant to try Borderlands 2 because of Steam?

@towtruck

I would call it a scam too, except that the court will probably throw out the case. All of those Steam Retail games have something written in fine print at the back cover, that you must accept the Steam Subscriber Agreement, and should you refuse, you must return the game in its unopened form to the store, and if it is opened, you cannot return it.

What they didn't write in fine print is that the retail copy has no resale value, the codes are single used and bound to a single account for life, and totally non-reusable or deactivatable.

Basically, the only thing we paid for is the code, but they felt like giving the old package of a manual and some worthless CDs to make us think that we are buying the physical copy for the game.

Well, at least it's not as bad as Ubisoft's Uplay. It's like Steam, only more expensive, and no redownloads.
