The Big K has news that the major digital download services are boycotting troubled enormo-shooter Modern Warfare 2 because of the inclusion of Valve’s Steamworks. Apparently Direct2Drive were first out with the news, saying they had “told publishers that they’d stop selling games bundled in such a manner until Valve “decoupled its retail marketplace” from Steam’s other services.”
GamersGate and Impulse will also be boycotting the title for the same reason. The implications of this aren’t clear. Does it play into Valve’s hands and given them an even larger grip on the market? Or is this the bell tolling for Steam’s retail service as a part of Valve’s gaming community?

Instant notice of new releases, simultaneous international release, comments about quality, multiple versions to pick from, no DRM, ripped versions for smaller downloads, even swift post-release support if it doesn’t work, and all in a file I can backup and store where I want. If torrents went commercial it would be the best service there is.
So I decided to go all pro on this issue and why I think its just bad biz all around.
