Yeah right. To me, Steam is DRM, quite possibly one of the worst because it ties a physical copy of the game I purchased to a single account. Also, it's practically online activation at the same time. Maybe it does actually offer something beneficial - but not to me. Aside from in-game chat, I don't care about Steam's features, and in the end, I use Xfire for in-game chat. So no benefit for me, only negative things. Practically they're not giving me any choice, and that's what's bugging me. That is also why I'm pretty reluctant to use Steam for digitally getting games, because I don't want to support it due to its policy with physical copies. The only reason I didn't pre-order Civ V despite my high expectations and interest was Steam, and in the end, that turned out pretty well. The game was below expectations. Also, while I'm fairly confident Shogun 2 is going to be great and I definitely want to get it, I'm not going to do so until it's MUCH cheaper - all thanks to Steam. Also, with Steam's support for rip-off DRM like in the previous games of the Total War series, there's one more negative thing about it.
They say it supports Steam and usually when they say it, it means it requires Steam. |
Yeah I agree with you..
I still love CD key install games and the feeling of the physical copy rather than paying the same price for a download.
