Nowadays,almost download shop,such as Steam,GamersGate,GOG,allow user to download purchased items at any number of times.
But Matrix games restrict items to be downloadable even though after registering.
Does they have problem of cost of internet traffic?
1 serial key allow to register one account.
Normal user don't download same item many times.
Many download shop have been testifying it.
I'm so annoyed in my trouble that purchased and registered item don't appear in my account orders.
How do you think this?
Mainly I think it's because "you" can save the .exe on one of your hard drives or flash drives and don't need to download it a 100 times from Matrixgames. I have all my purchases copied 3 times on various media plus register the ones I can here. I'm not too worried about losing anything.
I'm recently finding you can do this with STEAM games also. But, you still need the steam client in the future to run them offline. So, I have them saved as well and another copy of the steam client.exe.
All n all it's almost a perfect PC gaming world now. Just that DRM needs to be kicked out the door and a cdkey or one time application be used for it. I do have a problem holding on to DRM codes though I am starting to copy them onto another computer and saving for future reference. When you have over 100 games on steam this can become a problem.
