not *anywhere* in the near future

it's too ingrained into PC gamer culture

and it's too good of a service

Steam? It's garbage

lol

theyd get over it, the majority of gamers wouldnt even notice

It's a game rental service

you better not have the argument "but muh DRM tho"

because that is so easy to shoot down

I can guarantee that w/o Steam, PC gaming wouldnt even be half of what it is today

it wouldnt be the end of the world by any means

w/o steam, an alternative would have come along

much worse so for indie games

smh

I agree with cool. If you think the PC gaming market will survive without steam, you’re dead wrong.

I dont care if you personally dont like Steam

Anyways. Idk about the UK but it isnt that bad in the US.

you could very easily just use an alternative electronic software purchasing platform - in fact some game creators do anyway

the reality is that it has a strong hold on the PC gamer market

But if all that is true that's messed up @Eccles

It's fucking awful in the UK, Joey

and most people like it

I have respect for what GoG does

I dont doubt it dude

but it aint my cup of tea

The rental prices are similar in the UK for smaller houses, but on roughly half the salary

If steam were to just suddenly die, we’d be in a PC dark age.

90% of PC gaming would stop

oh wait

nvm

There will never be another platform that has the amount of weight it does

sorry

forgot about MC

and FN

lol

no it wouldnt, thats ridiculous.

Why are your wages going down then? Or your salary what's wrong?

so 88%

yes it would

dude

immediately all the big publishers would just stick up shop fronts and downloads
