So, what about that allegedly contentious Steam relationship? According to what we were told, it's the (supposedly) required install of Valve's digital distribution platform that has rubbed GameStop corporate the wrong way. That would be an odd stance to take on Dawn of War II, considering the same is true for games published by Valve.

But maybe not so odd, considering GameStop's apparent stance on games released on digital distribution platforms prior to being released at retail. Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik told Wired last April that the retailer objected to carrying a boxed version of Penny Arcade Adventures: On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, which was launched on the Greenhouse platform.
