Steam now supports DLC, micropayments
Of course, DLC isn’t all garbage, but everything that comes from EA is. Indie favorite The Maw is the first to take advantage of the new system, and it wouldn’t have survived if it didn’t have a serious first offering. Similarly, I don’t hold Half-Life 2’s episodes against Valve, because they weren’t working on Episodes 1, 2, and 3 before they finished the first game, as was the case with, say, Spore.
At any rate, this reduces the advantages retail has on digital distribution by one. That’s always a good thing.
