Project Zomboid looks like an interesting take on the Zombie genre

There are a lot of negative (and that is putting it politely) comments with most Greenlight programs...
Me and Freind also talked about using Steam for Windows and Mac version for Greenlight. Could been fun if Greedy Mouse came there even there is no garantee of course. its a great idea.
About a year ago, I purchased Project Zomboid for $5 when it was advertised on Slayradio before it was released to help the developer finish it.
Steam was good when it came but now when I look at it again there is some things that bugs me. Luckily I noticed this before buying games there...
First off, if you buy one game for normal price, you are almost always paying more than a boxed version in the store.
Second, the important part: You can't let your friend play one of the 40 games you bought because you only have a license for YOU to play. This includes your kids and husband/wife. If they want to play any of your 40 games, they have to get their own account and buy the game for themselves.
Why should I pay MORE for a license to play instead of going to the store and pay LESS for a boxed version that I can play or give away as I choose? No thanks, I think I stick to my shelf of boxed/GOG-games :-)

While this is generally true in the first week or so of a game arriving, the price often drops pretty rapidly and there are many genuine bargains to be had - especially around special events and holidays. Retail will never offer things like Portal 2 and HalfLife 2+DLC for a fiver though, unlike Steam. But yeah, you're not wrong.
Steam aren't the only ones that sell download games at inflated prices compared to retail boxed games - have you seen Nintendo's download price for the latest Mario game on 3DS? £40 download. £25 to buy in the shops. That really is shocking.
...and games from microsoft for the xbox costs even more.
I guess you pay for not leaving the house?
