THQ slaps their good games on Steam (cheap!)

[Miktar]

Stalker, Titan Quest, Supreme Commander and more just hit Steam and looking over the pricetags, I find them quite low compared to buying them retail locally.

R182 roughly for Company of Heroes, not bad at all.

But with how bandwidth is priced it'll probably work out the same. Tell me, how many gigs is the DL?

[Miktar]

I'm aware that for the personal user, this isn't going to work out that much cheaper if you have cap or pay per gig. But I'm assuming most Steam users do what I do - leech off company bandwidth, to get the game, before taking the PC home to play there.

There is no way for me to know how may gigs the DL is, of course. Steam doesn't report download sizes until you physically buy the game - and I'm not buying the game.

Anyone here with Company of Heroes, care to tell Chevron how big the install is?

[Chevron]

I was just asking out of curiosity. I already have the game on disc(so if my HDD dies I don't have to re-DL it).
