For quite a while I have denied the true potential that non-physical purchase has. For me, as I have said before, the day the industry ceases from releasing physical games, with the actual CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/Cartridge inside a box, with an actual instructions booklet and anything that might come with it, will be the day the industry will have done something the wrong way. At least in my humble opinion. I don't have anything against digital purchase, I just don't feel inclined to start doing it, I like to buy the actual thing, I like to store it on my shelf, I like to literally "have it". That doesn't necessarily mean I won't do it, like today, I decided to browse Steam's website, out of bore, and see what's todays special promotion, and to my surprise there was a game I had the intention of playing since long, but never got around buying it, mainly because it's not my primary focus when it comes to games, a first-person shooter, and worse, a multiplayer-only first person shooter. The game in question is Day of Defeat Source.

I do have the original Day of Defeat, I did play it back in the day, so I wanted to try it out, the price? Couldn't be more alluring. Mere 2.50 dollars! It got a momentary price cut of 75% from its original price tag of 9.99. Now, I'd think twice before paying 9.99 for it (I know, not even I understand me, I just have a mental blockage when it comes to spending money), but I didn't think twice in buying it for 2.50 dollars. This is nice, the other day I almost bought a game with the price tag of, if I remember correctly, 50 cents. I decided not to because I realized the game had little to no chance of being actually good, but then again, who knows.

Well, let me finish this by saying that Steam claims that this promotion will only last a day, so if you want to buy Day of Defeat Source at a very reasonable price, be swift and get your ass over to Steam's website before it's too late.
