| Foamer said: So basically what you're saying is that a few nice features on Steam- Valve exclusives like HL2 and its mods, cracking sale prices and the ability to gift games- are enough for you to overlook what you consider to be intrusive adware and onerous DRM. Which is exactly what a lot of other people think- there's a compromise to be made with DRM (and ads in your case), but taken as a whole, Steam is very consumer-friendly and you get a lot back for what you give. It's certainly not like SecuROM or GfWL, where it's all one-sided. |
HL2 sucks ass. Only good valve games are CS, TF2 and maybe CS:S.
I am overlooking it, since steam has been the only way to play CS competitive since 2003 or so. I have steam only on one of my computers and I don't want to see it on others. If I wasn't forced to use this service, I would not be using it now. I would have bought many of those games elsewhere.
Cracking sale prices, in few select cases. Of course I like to be able to get gifts from friends, who would not?
I find it laughable that you call any DRM consumer friendly.
