Soleron said: Paradox alert. Either Steam has "almost all of the convenience" of DRM-free, or it has "advantages" over it. Which is it? Again. There is no good DRM. There are no advantages. DRM need not exist. It does nothing for us. It might be less painful, but why suffer at all? It can be a "perfect" world if only everyone who has a problem with DRM refuses to buy it. Do you think Steam would persist with their DRM if people stopped buying it because of its DRM? We'd have the convenience of Steam AND no DRM in under a week I bet. It's people like you who are the problem. Who apologise and defend and say it's not so bad really. |
The advantage is that is has almost all the convenicnce of DRM-free gaming. I'm not sure how this wasn't clear.
Good is a subjective term. Your idea of good is different from mine. That's fine, and it's not something worth arguing about.
DRM does not need to exist, but it does. Basically every digital distribution site with the exception of Humble Bundle and Good Old Games are DRM-free. Want a game on Amazon? DRM. Want a game on PSN? DRM. Want a game on Nintendo eShop? DRM.
I am not telling people to support DRM, I am telling them specifically to not support bad DRM, like the Xbox One. No, I don't think Steam is that bad, but that's not the point. The point is atrocities like SecuROM, UPlay, Blizzard DRM, and now Xbox One should be our biggest targets. Because they're horrible.
