Completely agreed.

Valve is dropping the ball so hard on these preorders. I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of Steam players would transfer off in a heartbeat. No physical CE, plus delaying the preorder longer than an entirely different console? Not okay.

There's probably a legal reason why we're stuck on Steam, but I'd still like to know. Unless there's a contract keeping us with Steam, I don't see any reason why we should be locked there.
