ok... i'm not trying to troll here.... just need information so i can understand something.

why do people buy from a third party (steam) when they could just as easily bought from the source (bethesda)?

When I bought it. There was a sale and to be honest I was new to mmo's and didn't even realise that you could buy it directly. To be honest why should i have to know this? I buy the majority of my games on steam, and they all work and i never have to think - hmm will this work? Quite frankly I'm fed up with elitist members here berating people for having bought a game on the world's largest game store! Like how could i be so stupid. I like steam. I like keeping all my screenshots in one place, how many hours I've played, etc.. and believe it or not there is nothing unreasonable about pressing play and expecting a game that it's installed on my hard drive to work when i want it to, just like all my other games.

I am sure jebtb didn't say anyone was stupid. He/she said not trolling just wanting to know so they can understand. He/she didn't realize not everyone knows about Bethesda and if they did, knew who Zenimax was. They are trying to learn and I am sure he/she didn't want to upset anyone.

Please don't take personally, he/she just didn't know.

Yeah. I should apologise. It's boiled over frustration and not aimed at the poster. Just that comment in general. Long day.
