Valve is not your friend

I certainly trust Valve more than Polygon.
The opener sounds like it was copywritten by an EA employee, and the closer is a bunch of cherry-picked bullshit. Oh, and the writer is a pseudonym. --- The best thing that could happen is if another company made an actually not shitty online store with DRM that didn't make people want to tear their hair out. I don't think that's going to happen, though. It's much more likely that Steam will be used to sell more and more non-game software instead. | |
" All i can say is that GOG is better. Full refunds, no DRM. |

I like GOG a lot too for everything that is available without DRM. The problem that Valve/Steam solves is how to manage DRM, though.
It would be fucking great if every AAA game that came out was DRM-less, but the game publishers are way too gun-shy, even after seeing stuff like Witcher sell great numbers without DRM. | |

Steam provides a good service, that's all I care about. Of course it's a yuge corporation and tries to make/save money whenever it can. But as a customer I really can't complain much tbh.
GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

" Would be great if GOG would get more AAA games and newer titles. I think a lot of people would see it as a bigger and better tool that steam. |

Remember the bad days when computer games cost like 30-70 to get an original boxed copy off the shelf while we were only primary school/ middle school kids with no financial capability? Valve settled the score for us once and for all.

Steam is amazing, long live steam.
I remember that No Man's Sky was the best game I ever pre ordered. Worth very penny. And no, not being sarcastic at all, 10/10 perfect game on launch day. My opinion was super fun on the Steam forums lol.

" Yeah, by dumping DRM on them. Now you can buy boxed copies with steam DRM. |

" You could easily spend ~100 bucks in today's money on one N64 game back then. Shit was expensive. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence. Last edited by Xavderion on May 16, 2017, 4:05:54 PM
