Steam itself isn't so big, but depending on the games you buy, might have some problems. Some Indy games are really great (and small....I've been enjoying the hell out of FTL and Binding of Isaac), and you'll be fine downloading. But it is digital distribution. Big Gig games can take me a pretty long time.

Still recommend you get steam. I personally love it. GOG is also great, and they have a downloader you can....errr....download that helps speed things up.

To actually play the games, unless they are persistent online games, you just need the net to " check into" steam, so it's not a big deal. It has an offline mode to that you can set so you don't even have to do that.


Whatever you play, welcome to the group and keep us updated on what your playing.
