You can use Valves bandwidth all you want if you purchase from Steam. [/quote] I bought a license from you. I don't own the software, I own a license.

Stardock Central will be a download manager that will only distribute Stardock games/apps. [/quote] That's the very definition of digital distribution. There shouldn't be any room for confusion here... Its distributing my shit to me digitally. I'm just not seeing why I have to use your bandwidth instead of

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="23" id="3034804"] it's you that's being childish. It's not like there's going to be any Steam achievements for GC II.
