a whole game to your computer that would take more than 2 GIGS.
Oh my, 2gigs, that's such a huge amount isn't it!!![/sarcasm]
CS:S weighs in at just under 4gb, yet still millions have downloaded it, a DVD is actually about average for a download these days and takes about 4 hours on an average connection. unless you're on 56k, in which case i don;t know why you're still gaming on a pc.
Trust me, putting H2PC on steam would be the greatest marketing move ever, steam has the ability to instantly advertise to 10s of millions of gamers, who can then buy the game, download it and get right into the action, with the game being automatically updated by Steam.
Plus, you can access it anywhere, no carrying CDs or CD keys, just d/l steam, log in and you can access all your games.
Steam > all.
(except when it breaks :P)
to the above: what do you mean "forced to get a high-speed internet connection", anyone who intends to play anything online should have a connection of at LEAST 1Mb/s and preferably 2Mb/s, dial up is dead, it died years ago, broadband is now.
