NieR Automata (PC)'s FAR Mod Prevents Pirated Copies from working

And I consider EA pedantic for doing the opposite of what they should be doing. Basically, if you don't like one channel, you ought to find an alternative for it. When there are none, it really irritates the people who liked disc only games. 

And let's be honest. Only one thing has happened since Steam came to the market. It has murdered any form of installations directly from the disc. 

As for why they go to Steam, I am not saying they shouldn't, but those devs should offer the game in their own launcher or a disc only install or if they fear piracy, DirectDrive, which is my main option. 

Now you're calling them minor and including disc based games?. You know the vast majority of games on PC these days are digital now right?.

 

Actually it's the progress of digital games that has killed the disc, not Steam. If you hoenstly think that discs are to be the primary emdia for the enxt hudnred years then you're quite frankly out of your mind. Digital media was always going to take over one way or another. Blaming discs on PC being killed solely on Steam is just as silly for a completely different argument. 

Yeah I'm going to have to say no to that idea, because if every dev went down that route then we'd have thousands upon thousands of launchers. Which has clearly been made evident that not many want that future, hence why we have multiple clients already that act as a hub to launch all of your games. If you want to lhave hundreds of icons scattered across your desktop, then you can always go for GoG, or hell, you can still use Steam and tell each game installation to slap an icon on your desktop. 

Discs aren't coming back in full swing. piracy still existed when disc based PC games were around btw. Direct drives fill up and then you ened to buy another, then another etc. This idea of bringing the disc sotrage based concept back isn't going to defeat all piracy and quell Steam. You need actual willing competition to step up their stores and practices, but piracy will still exist because it's existed for hundreds of years. The mere thought of trying to defeat it in one swoop is but a child's dream.
