It ties my to an online server nonetheless, and it limits (read: eliminates) my ability to buy used games or sell my games. And like I said, competition is good. The only full-priced game I've bought on Steam is Half-Life 2, and that was when HL2 was released and I had no idea how Steam worked. Since then, I've bought a few smaller games when there's been a great sale. In those cases, it won't be a big loss if something happens some day. I'm sure I'll be a gamer much longer than Steam exists in its current form, and I have a tendency to return to older games. |
Here is the thing. Its all digital so obviously used games or selling your games went out the window. Its what happens when things modernize and become easier for the general user. Things must be sacrificed which I would much rather lose the ability to sell and buy used games rather then keep the ability to lose a physical disc or damage it.
Also lack of competition is a joke. There are at least 3 other services that offer similar to Steam and tend to have the same publishers of titles. First party titles stay exclusive and so does some 3rd party titles, but overall the majority stays open and competitive like the console market.
