FINALLY something from Capcom. I've been waiting so long for the PC release. Too bad it's still 2 months away. And why is it listed for $59.99 USD? That's a huge rip off for an old game with no new content.
Steam powered?! Well damn. I hate steam with a passion, I only deal with it if the game is absolutely worth it. I have a shitty internet connection and can't download the game, and I'm most assuredly not paying sixty bucks for a game that may not be worth ten. XD Looks like I won't be playing RE6 any time soon.
Steams not perfect, but at least it ain't 'Origin'.
My two main problems with it are A) You absolutely NEED a high-speed internet connection in order to play their games, which isn't always available geographically or economically (both, in my case) and B) You don't really 'own' the product, you just bought rites to play it. Not to mention that it ruins the used game market, the life blood of the cheapass gamer. xD

I don't know about high-speed connection, mine's just 1Mb and I can play TF2 and L4D just fine, it's not perfect and servers outside Brazil are laggy as hell but I blame it on my own shitty connection. And they always have games going on sale so you can get them pretty cheap.
Sure, Steam has its problems, like not really owning your games, but it's not that an awful service.

Depends what games you play on it, it also economically stimulates the independent game industry. I mean hell, how many indie games get released a month for Steam in contrast to consoles?
Microsquish has a similar online store concept for X-box that allows independent games to be played on a console sure, but Steams been doing this a lot longer.

I'm just saying- when I buy software I want to be allowed to use it on my terms. I don't want to have to be online every time I want to install something, I don't like the idea that one day there is a possibility that steam may go "poof" for whatever reason and all my purchases are down the tube because I (probably) don't have the disc for the game. I've been wanting to play Half-Life and Half-Life 2 for ages, but the D/L size is too massive for my internet speed and data cap, and the discs cost $60. So it looks like until I win the lottery or get modern-speed internet (one is as likely as the other), Resident Evil 6 goes on the pile of games that I have to wait even longer for. XD My only hope is that the price of the RE6 PC discs drop as fast as the console versions did.
