Why PC games suck.

I've been home for an hour. AN HOUR. Am I playing Sin: Emergence yet? NO. Why? It has take forever to install it. First, I had to install Steam. Then it had to copy everything from the DVD (yeah, DVD not CD, that's cool...) to the HD. Then it had to uncompress. Then it had to run through all sorts of crap with Steam. THEN, it had to download MORE stuff from Steam before it could actually play. I think it is almost done, but I should have gone straight to the XBOX for Prince of Persia. I would have been playing for an hour instead of waiting. STUPID.
