    Eh… I have a 500+ game library on GOG and moved back to Steam in 2020. Steam just has too many good features. I’m at the point where I don’t really care about DRM anymore. I know that’s an unpopular opinion but after 20+ years I realize it’s just a boogeyman.

      When DRM is implemented without problems (unlike denassvu) its generally absolutely not relevant when you buy a game.

        That’s your opinion dawg… my opinion is that i don’t to pay for that trash, so now I don’t.

        I have other options when I don’t like how a vendor behaves ;)

        I can keep this up as long as fit grey markets exit and/or Fitgirl is around. So prolly until I am dead.

        These shiti corpo operations should get a hint, this aint rent or food lol 100% discretionary media with apple options

          Bro its not my problem what you do but when you Pirat stuff then don’t complain about evil steam allowing publishers to protect their stuff.

          Shure I pirated games as well, especially from big greedy companies, but I don’t go around whining that people want to get paid for work.

          Its really telling how low you value the work people put into the things you like. You sound like a gamer Karen.

            But so everybody is clear, buying shiti corpo products does not help devs who already laid off by the shiti corpo after the crunch. You are not paying the developers as humans, you are paying a legal entity collecting rent. Some of that money will be used to retain min amount of staff required to maintain minimum service.

            Once corpos start to “value the work people put into the things you like” we can revisit this topic.

            Fucking disgusting bootlicking, learn how businesses and this specific industry operates before you say idiotic shit that is not factually correct.

              Bro I’ve only bought indie games for the last 10 years when we make a exception for Anno 1800… Wich was a grate game and those devs are treated great as they are the only consisting cash cow ubisoft has.

              You are as said just a karan (maybe a kyle I don’t care) gamer.

              I take your ramblings as a “I don’t want to pay for the games I play and love because I hate [insert leftist sounding dog whistle]” while in reality you enjoy the games and think you are special for beig a good person because you didn’t support capitalism.

              You are not. You are a cheap liar that tells himself he is so smart and genius (looking at your instance name here as well…) all while you shit on others that want to get paid for work, and I know why that is, you probably never worked a day in your life.

                I pay for products I decided worth my money, I am sorry your feelz get hurt when exercise my rights to vote with my wallet.

                Paying corpos has nothing to do with developers getting paid. Again, learning how the commercial operations are actually ran.

                Brain dead takes:

                you probably never worked a day in your life.

                all while you shit on others that want to get paid for work

                think you are special for beig a good person because you didn’t support capitalism

                You made up these points and you failed to address crux of my argument.

                Juvenile.

      I would not call it a booegyman… it is a non burger for avg gamer tho.

      But for people who think bigger, it is a valid concern IMHO. Also, if it is not for people who think bigger, we would never big here tech wise.

      If we keep accepting current trends, everything will get shittier…

      Steam is an exception to this maxim, but for how long?

        Steam is literary labeling denuvo as unwanted feature… They are a market place. Not the publishers.
