Lately I am thinking about old times, years back when we had no digital distribution of games. Playing or just owning a game had some special feeling that's hard to describe. Dunno if it's only me, but I don't understand people that support systems like steam. Why do they force you to install software that might be spying your activity, software and stuff without your permission or knowledge? Also being dependent on something to let me play game I purchased is not OK. GoG, for instance, is perfect example of digital distribution that I fully support and prefer. I purchase a game and I can actually download it, back it up on my HDD without need of any spying software.
There are more jokes in gaming world lately (Xbox One anyone?), but talking about this would be worthless, as it has been discussed many times already.

So what is your opinion about steam?

This'll go well :)

About the permission thing, you sign that away when you create your account. Can't say you didn't give it.

Wait, talking about the Xboxone DRM issues is worthless because it has been discussed many times, but Steam is worth bringing up? You do realize Steam is probably the most discussed topic in that regard, right? :)

What have you done Pandora?

Quick, make some popcorn!

Sure, that is why I will never support steam. Because this is just wrong.

I do like Steam. Too much.

So it's a good thing you have a choice not to, which you already know since you already made it to the GOG forums :)

eh, is it? I want to know what make people support steam, since it's absolutely silly in my eyes. I haven't seen any active thread about this around here, I am sorry if am bothering you. Steam will be much stronger and ruin it's rivals because Spiky created flame topic. hohoho

Ow the innocence ... xD

Xbox one is simply a recent issue with E3. Steam's been a common topic on these forums :) The only thing that'll ruin rivals, is the rivals themselves not offering something that actually adds value over a service like Steam. GOG does this well by either supplying games no one else has, or offering no-DRM for those who feel particular about that.

You haven't spent a lot of time on this forum, have you?

Seriously... this is the type of post we get when the sales are on?

There has got to be an easier way to write that.

I do not mind steam, it is fact very useful and we would not have the society we have now without it. Fun fact, even though people think they can see steam, it is in fact invisible.

Then let me tell you how these threads usually go:

1. Someone posts something, either asking for, or giving, opinions about Steam.
2. 12,368 people jump into the thread, shouting "Death to Steam! Burn the Valve headquarters to the ground!"
3. 12,368 other people jump into the thread, shouting "Death to the infidels! Kill the non-believers! Forward in the name of Gabe!"
4. The flame war is on, and soon the battlefield is littered with the dead and the wounded. The ravens feast on the corpses.
5. Life goes on as it always has. Nothing is changed.
