This Steam stuff will never take off. I’ll never give up my trusty CD-ROM.

Yeah I hope this trend of having to use a launcher for my game dies. It's so much less convenient than just putting the disc in.

I personally use a very handy "no-cd" executable I've recently found on the interwebs. Saves you from having to store a disc in perfect condition.
