Hi all, Happy NewYear
Lets start the new year with a refreshing look at the topic, let us not dwell upon the negatives of people whom cannot use steam for various reasons, but look to what you may achieve with steam:
1) One stop shop for all your games, no more shopping for competitive pricing.
2) You will be covered by an American EULA clause wherever you live in the world.
3) Don’t need physical mediums, all stored digitally so no more breaking cds, just worry about hard disk fails, server crashes, EMPs and hackers.
4) You can get ingame achievements like slaying a 1000 puppys.
5) You get steam support whom will try to get back to your problem soon as they work out what it is so you may be redirected to the appropriate producer of your game, as steam works fine and no problems or bugs.
6) All your stored games available to you any where in the world with an internet connection.
7) Your games are protected by account binding so that you can only play your game with steam account and will check online every so often to confirm account.
Automatically patch your games when new one appears so your games will be updated to the newest Beta with the internet (this might take a minute or 2…..)
9) Steam clients will check your system and send data back to a server so it can display information about what you have on your system, just to make sure you have the right software/hardware.
10) Works fine with some antivirus programs and will not show up as a cause for concern even when getting shutdown privileges so you can play a game.
11) Oh sorry forgot to mention bandwidth, it is recommended that you have an internet connection so that you may play your offline solo game offline.
See don’t know what all these people complain about not wanting steam, steam is perfectly fine, its you “anti steam” people whom have a problem not steam or steam supporters whom will happily dismantle any logical or un-logical arguments that you may have and brush all concerns as pointless worrying after all, all those games that we brought from steam are still on steam and we can walk away from steam anytime we like, and its not like we been forced to bin all our physical mediums, online accounts are not physical they are virtual so we are perfectly safe if there is any problems like crashes server failure, company going into admin etc. So “anti steam” people should come join the revolution the future and not be stuck in a cave.
Ps. would i be courting more feedback if i suggest that we should not have steam at all, that all games should be steam free and not downloaded digitally from steam
