But personally I'm willing to give up some of that freedom (just some!!) to support an effort to curb piracy, which is killing PC gaming. I can live with the useless piece of software in the background, and being tied to an account. If I couldn't play it on other PCs, or copy my save files, then that would surely be a problem (for which I see the competition is good for, to make sure a place like Steam doesn't get carried away with those sort of restrictions). It's just a matter of preference I suppose. |
I still haven't seen a DRM system that actually works. I haven't heard of a single game that hasn't been cracked despite trying. Even Steam games can be pirated. But surely you must have noticed how much publishers have been complaining about people buying used games? Somehow I feel using Steam is seen as a good way to prevent that, even more than it is seen as a working DRM system.
Also, this doesn't entirely belong here but still: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.". Again, not entirely fitting here but still worth thinking.

Can you honestly say you were interested in all of those games? I'm sure you would have liked to remove half of the games because they weren't interesting if it was reflected in the price as well, even though you would have "saved" less.
