No, it would have been a dealbreaker if it was $20 and with actual DRM. Steam is like GOG: A sales platform. That's what makes Steam attractive: Only Publisher-side DRM (if at all - you can still play most Steam games without Steam, you just need to delete the steam_api.dll and launch it via "game".exe) and extremely good prices (either on deals or regular ones).

Get over it.



I think the problem is more that i can't sell it after i finished the game.. At 2 bucks i want to have at least 1 buck back so i can use that buck to invest in other games..

Well I'm over it but it seems you guys are still hung up over wild rumors, speculations.

Your statement is mostly false which confirms my statement of people just not knowing what DRM is. Steam isn't DRM free. You have to activate a game upon install which is Steams DRM. Without internet and activation you can't play. On top of that, 3rd parties may implement their own DRM, like EA with Crysis(which blows I agree).

Steam doesn't have an "always on" component to their DRM though which is what I think you're confusing DRM with...

Other questionable points you made...

Why the hell would you want to delete Steam to play a game? You've already registered it to an account and passed their DRM implementation.

Why would you want 3rd party publishers to handle DRM? Thats the wors part about Steam. If Microsoft is willing to do it for everyone on Xbox One much like Steam, this should benefit everyone involved.



Steam can be played offline, thats the difference.

Yeah, re-selling DRM games would be nice indeed.

Or maybe re-gifting/installing the game to another account while deleting it off yours? Like you know, a feature that Microsoft is hinting may be available with Xbox One.

Again, who is to say Xbox one won't be able to be played offline.

Their execs did a really shitty job in explaining how Xbox One will work but nothing I heard says that single player won't be offline playable.

I will say this though...if Xbox One indeed needs constant online, even for single player, I will completely do a 180 and blast the console and its idea of "DRM". It just makes no sense for this to be implemented for single player gaming.

No, I do not necessarily need to activate a game after the installation to be able to play it. Like I said - deleting steam_api.dll and then starting a game directly via "game".exe works most of the time.  I don't need Steam nor Internet for this. Try it. Take any of your Steam games, copy it to a PC without Steam, delete steam_api.dll (and if it exists for this game steamclient.dll) and launch the game. It will work.

Link is dead, the game is 10 on steam. I would have picked it up because I love mortal Kombat, but I already own it for 360.
