too bad I like building my own computers instead and getting equivalent power of a prefab box at a cost difference greater than the price of an xbox 360
although I must admit that I do have several win7 licenses that I bought as a student so that significantly lowers my costs
so I explain my worry to you and not only do you completely toss it out the window, you laugh at me
that'll learn me to try to respond to you in any kind of serious fashion
I have never seen a reputation system that wasn't completely fucking broken; I really don't like the idea of having a pay-grade system tied to that. If you can show me that one of these systems can work, that would ease my worry significantly.
Of less importance is the fact that I utterly despise meta-games and this would turn all of steam into one big meta-game.
