the value of steam is not the purchasing, its the marketplace, the shop window

yes

and other platform features

I personally hate steam because it doesn't sell games

but mostly the advertising and marketplace

Yet pretends it does

no1 cares

about your DRM bullshit

literally no1

If you do so now and treat your body right you'll live long enough to see your great grandchildren by the time you're 80

facts for that?

no1 uses GoG

@JoeyJoestar1337 stop wasting time on discord

and get a family

the drm is a somewhat valid point - i depends how its done. calling home regularly is bullshit. license keys and an install time check are fine with me

Yes, and there is tremendous value in a platform that has all your major games, a method to make and talk to friends, and updates said games automatically. There is no other platform that can do this as good as steam can. Steam is like the fucking google of gaming. If you want it, 9/10 it’s there.

I got time to burn retard

U dont

lol

imagine not going for internships

early

what a fag

lazy

If a platform has the means and right to arbitrarily deprive you of your ability to install and play a game your bought, then it's fundamentally flawed

@system11 Steam just requires 1-time validation

It's really nothing to do with DRM

and that happens when u download the game

Agreed @Eccles

you can use Steam offline

for any time you want

Coolitic said "yeah I have a job at minimum wage while I spend all my money on PC parts"

"all"

no I save

because I've had multiple jobs now

Do u invest?

no, I save

There are even ways to remove account validation from steam games. It’s different for every game obviously, but it IS possible.

All steam need to do is change their "backup" option to include a standalone installer

???

why

Take at least 10% of your savings and put it away for investment
