Keeping the Examples paragraphs aligned with the images is an irritating task that seems to get reversed at each edit. Is there a surefire way to make sure they don't shift about? <div> tags don't seem to work. -- Tom Edwards 21:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Steam is a brand name and not a distribution. It should be treated that way. Theking2 ( talk) 22:17, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
From the article: "As Steam is mainly used to distribute multiplayer games"
This is not correct. By looking at the list of games over at the Steam website [ [1]] I believe it's clear that there are large numbers of non-multiplayer games at offer.
Why isn't the destruction of secondhand markets mentioned in the criticisms section? Surely this is one of, if not the biggest drawbacks of purely digital distribution systems. The existence of secondhand markets is good for consumers, and the right of consumers to resell books, movies, games, etc. that they've legitimately purchased has always been recognized. Digital distribution makes resale impossible, and thus is a very bad deal for anyone interested in reselling their older content or in shopping for bargains on older, used content. 140.251.125.50 ( talk) 16:44, 2 October 2009 (UTC)Matt
I added a large amount of content to this section and also went ahead and created some sub-sections for various industries while making sure to include a lot of citations. If anyone has any thoughts on how to further improve this entry, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Baumanmm ( talk) 16:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
As this article is an unclear mix of technical and legal issues i suggest to split it accordingly. Furtermore there are quit a vieq articles tat deal with distributors and distributions. This should also be cleaned up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theking2 ( talk • contribs) 22:13, 23 October 2012 (UTC) Theking2 ( talk) 22:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
