I don't like the Steam System and thankfully the games I want don't require it at the moment.

If that changes then I will have to think about it.

I wonder when you buy a Matrix game from steam if it is still available to you through your Matrix account.

John, I believe it is, but I'm sure some from Matrix will answer this.

No it will not be available in Matrix and Slitherine accounts
If you want the best of both worlds, you'll have to buy it from Matrix or Slitherine webshops and then redeem a Steam key from the Slitherine account.

If I read this properly, given that there was no difference in price, then this would amount to the same same thing, except that you would buy from Matrix first then register with steam afterwards.

This is very reasonable.

I'm 62.

When I was a lad of 3 or 4 I was taught that if one takes something that is not theirs and takes it without the permission of the owner that they were stealing. It was a pretty simple rule and easy to follow. Stealing was/IS wrong and no matter how one rationalizes it is never the right thing to do.

Have times really changed so much? Do younger generations not understand anymore?

In my humble opinion it can happen in all generations (we are all capable of greed or it does not apply to me), and it's up to us to point these things out...good comment Werewolf!

I come from the same bygone era, and the thing is, today's kids are not as bad as they are being painted.

Additionally, look at the problems with the world of today, the economic related ones. And now look at the ages of the people essentially responsible.

There is NOTHING intrinsically special about the people that were born before me, and nothing intrinsically special about my generation either.

They often refer to a generation called 'the greatest generation'. Actually, now aside from a lot of them were killed in 2 brutal world wars, which I doubt they really wanted to experience, there was nothing about them to make them any better than my son's.

I actually feel a lot of over all guilt for the world we've handed our youths. If they are guilty of downloading some songs and movies and some games, it just doesn't compare with the things the generations of the 40's and 50s have done to humanity and the world we live in.

I'm really happy it's on Steam now. How else would I find out about Distant Worlds? :D
I am just too used to browsing games on steam, so it looks like I missed a few really cool titles lately.
