Hey guys, I just woke up from a four year long coma and came up with this genius manuscript that describes this topic very well and has the answer!!!1@

"Genius" doesn't describe the masterpiece that you have created. Hats off to you, ya shitposter extraordinaire.

I realize the argument that "You don't actually own the games, it's all DIGITAL! THEY CAN TAKE YOUR GAMES AWAY!" has been around since it first started, but I've never experienced that. You can download games for off-line play, and even if a game is de-listed, you can still install and play it. I was wary of a digital store back in 2004 when it first launched, but I can honestly say I've never had any issues with Steam.

 

This happened to me recently. I had bought Crysis some time ago, but recently tried to play it and it kept telling me that my CD-KEY was invalid. Turns out they removed Crysis from the Steam store altogether and now there's the remastered version instead (which I heard is based on a console port). Even though I can still download it, it sucks that EA went the extra mile of breaking the game keys, but oh well. Other than that, I don't remember this happening in any other occasion and I have been using the platform since 2011, so I don't really think much of it other than maybe being careful about purchasing EA games.

I thought that this thread had died!

 

 

I can basically sum up this thread with this:

 

 

Me: "should I get steam?"

 

The entire doomworld forum: [insert vine boom]

God I hope this makes sense because if it doesn't I will be VERY disappointed...

It will if you let it!

 

Perhaps Doomworld won't have the collective ass spasm you're accusing them of having if you'd learn to be a little less obtuse.

It doesn't. Nor does your continued refusal to give a straight answer about why you are so reluctant to try Steam in the first place.

there is nothing in this thread that makes sense. steam is biggest place for pretty much any games you can think of, and there is no reason not to have it. and i dont know why you think "GOG is the winner here", it's not like you can only use one, why not use both of them? why are you even so reluctant to use steam?
