It's not even the weekend yet (and I'm sure there'll be yet another sale on Friday), and Steam is here yet again to take more of your money, with yet another awesome sale.

From indie developer Hidden Path, Defense Grid: The Awakening is tower defense game with real production values, featuring excellent 3D graphics, really fun and highly-accessable TD gameplay, and, believe it or not, a really interesting plot, presented through excellent writing and voice acting. Steam Achievements fans, it includes plenty of those too. It's one of my favorite games in the genre, and highly personally reccomended, by yours truly.

It's only available through digital distribution, and normally, it sells for $19.99. It's been on sale for $9.99 before, and I thought that that was a pretty good deal right there. For $5 even, it's an absolute steal.

This totally makes up for last week's totally boring weekend sale (40% off HAWX). And it's only Wednesday! Can't wait till Friday, to see what the weekend deal is this time. Steam and their partners just keep knocking 'em out of the park with these incredible weekend sales, week after week after week.

They are practically the same thing from a DRM standpoint. One authenticates the game to your account and allows you to play it, while the second method continually checks that you are allowed to use it when in online mode. While they function slightly differently, it is DRM no matter how you look at it. They both function to verify that a user is allowed to access a game.

Fine. That's the idea behind CD-keys, too.

Alrighty? Almost all games you buy via digital distribution have CD keys as well, so there is really no difference there. Not sure where this is going, just clarifying that the two previously mentioned systems on Steam are in fact DRM. Wasn't really arguing anything else. Yes, CD keys are DRM too. There are a ton of DRM formats out there. So, let's move onwards then now that this is all clearly established is fairly obvious to start with.
