Aspyr announces upcoming Gamerhood application

play games without physical CD/DVD media is good since you dont need to carry around all those game CDs you have, you can just open it!!! But would it then limit the installation on one computer? If so, then it sux.......because I'll need to pay twice, one for my desktop and one for my laptop

its itunes for games. you can go buy music at the store or you can download it off itunes. the only difference is itunes is easier but it does have b/s DRM, and in the store you get the packaging, pricewise you pay more in the store too which im sure will be the case with this since there are no package costs. im lazy as crap so i dont mind. p.s. when i think of games i dont think of valve or steam or gamerhood, too many fanboys out there.

Har har. Are there games for the mac. That's good stuff, think of it yourself?

Are there games for mac ??

#6: I felt like being nice this time around so I didn't mention it in the post, but yea: the name is horrible. Sounds like it was made up by someone in marketing who is almost as out of touch as the people who came up with "TheHub" for WalMart.

Glad they're doing it, not the best name.

Not a real big deal to me, but I submitted a tip about this back when they first announced it, back on July 10 or 11...just wondering why it took so long to post about it.

I love Steam. And Valve. Mac compatibility for Steam and Valve games (I know it'll never happen) would be the best thing that could happen.

If Aspyr can make me love them like I love Valve, then I'll be plenty excited.

horrible choice for a name

The problem with online distribution is pricing. The publishers don't want to undercut retail store prices, so they price the download versions the same. And why would I spend $50 for a downloaded game at retail price when I could buy the packaged game for a discount at an online retailer (sometimes), not to mention the ability to eBay the game when I'm done playing it.

It's the same dilemma as online music purchases. Online distribution needs to start passing along its savings to the customers.

Okay this covers Steam now how about somebody bring something like GameTap to the Mac?
