the pc market is smaller than consoles, and both are dawrfed by mobile - that's why im fairly chilled out about someone deleting steam. people would find solutions, at the end of the day it you could easily build a web site publishers and indies could simply list titles with screenshots and shop links

you connect to the internet either way

Why the fuck does it need a reason?

and Steam isn't a big client

lol

@system11 congrats, you just made steam 2.

Steam is a small client

doesn't do anything in the background except auto-update

Doesn't matter how big the client is - the fact is it is a client at all, and they can arbitrarily block your access to it

and needs you to connect only once to use your games

they cannot

you can use it offline

right, so you agree it's easily replaceable? 😉

I don’t agree that it’s replaceable, I’m saying that you basically just created the same monster you hope to defeat

nor have they ever made any attempt to ever

They have

not once

ever

steam also doesnt feature really high in the sources of evil anyway

Yes

They did it to me last year

for?

They ended support for XP

and?

use old client

...

play offline

Wouldn't connect

play offline

Couldn't reinstall

Upgrade your fucking OS, you sperg.

your fault for not backing up

retard

without Steam

you'd have to back it up anyways

You need the client to restore from the backup you daft sod

they don't support the commodore 64 either. fuck steam.

no

you retard

Jesus you're a boomer
