@ shio...you know,there is this magical thing that is called "torrent sites"...and being a Pc fan all the way,why don`t you tell everyone that they can get the game for free?

And yes,I am part of the "dirty console gaming peasant" on your avatar. But at least I rent my console games that i can not buy day 1,so i support the developers. The millions of Pc players that are supporting piracy do not.

And btw,when you download a Steam game = download a torrent game,because you send real money for a download,not a hard copy that you can do what you want with it.

You appear conflicted. Are you for or against piracy? Or are you just picking on PC gaming or Shio in general?

I personally have two reasons to use Steam over regular hardcopies and Piracy.
1. It's easier (no cracking, no installation, all games at the same place, auto-updating....)
2. It's cheap yet still supports the developers. I'm a man of modest means and cannot afford paying retail prices. Steam sales offers me a great opportunity to pay what I can afford to play the games I want to play.

I am against piracy. So I joined the console community because I can rent games 1st day,so I support the developers.

Pc gaming is plagued with piracy so I am going to consoles because I pay for games and don`t want to be associated with people that steal and get the same treatment.

For what I know,Shio is supporting Pc gaming because he is a pirate but sais he is legit. No one has acces to his computer,so he is legit,even if he could be a thief.

All I`m saing is hardcore gamers know what torrent sites are and will not wait months for a game to drop 50% in price. They will pirate it day1 and play it. They will get away with it,because no one has the right to go into your computer and ask questions about what you own. So I don`t see the Pc as the king of gaming.
