I played Batman AC at PC with mouse and keyboard and found it too be all right. Sure, it required a little more "getting used to" than using the Dual Shock, but it wasn't nothing impossible or uncorfatable at all. Steam is such a practical way of getting games. I`m turning into PC gaming as part of my turning to digital distribution to get any kind of media. I'm not just 100% with digital distribution with music and movies because of quality difference between the retail counterparts , but with games there's not any difference between a Steam game and a retail copy.

My wallet hates Steam. It's always tempting my money with such tantalizing deals to games that aren't even necessarily that appealing but they're so cheap so why not? Sometimes the money comes back and my wallet thinks that maybe this time things will be good and the money won't run off again. But then the next daily deal comes out and the money gets restless; another midweek deal comes around and it begins to lose its resolve; by the time the weekend comes around it's too late. My wallet is now very lonely as all my money is now in the hands of that cheap whore Steam.

I've been PC gaming my whole life even when Consoles pull away alot of my attention.

I've saved a lot of money not paying a single cent downloading all the free games to my PC so I'm grateful.

LOL

Why is that funny? You should support the people who make the things you like instead of stealing from them.

The same can be said for those who buy secondhand games from stores like Gamestop, the developers don't get a dime from any of the re-sales but people still get to enjoy the game. An problem of equal, if not greater, proportion in my opinion. Its even fully legal and has a whole market segment devoted to it.

The problem with console secondhand sales is reduced solved greatly by online passes and other similar DLCs what not.

Personally I don't see steam or GOG having an effect of PC gaming piracy.

It's still doesn't affect the PC gaming piracy situation here in Asia.

there is not really any retail game market in most of Asia, the reigon outside of Japan is dominated by F2P PC/Web games, and recently mobile games.

QFT and the retail game market in Japan which used to be dominated by consoles have the lion's share now taken away by handhelds and F2P PC/Web games+mobile games.

Outside of Korea's obsession with the Starcraft series, What other B2P PC western games have attained similar success? None! Bcos you can torrent the rest and use Gameranger or Hamachi to play online easily. And if the western developers understood this fact and our psyche, they will change the way on how they sell their B2P PC games in Asia by turning them into F2P/freemium games rather than focusing on improving DRM thus raking in alot more money than they ever will on the western markets given the sheer size of our markets.

Consoles would be in real deep S*** then!!
