How is Steam DRM? You can play the games offline. And Steam has no right to revoke your license to software. If companies like Marvel or Bethsoft pull their games or change their licensing that's not Steam's fault. So tell us again about who's literate.

"PopCap’s mission right now is to create the greatest mobile game studio in the world,"

Did Microsoft write this press release for them?

EA is regularly lauded as one of the best places to work. So leaving isn't as understandable as it might be on its face.

What did you list them for? I listed a few for 15 cents (with steams cut 17 cents) and made like a buck, which allowed me to easily buy the ones I didn't have.

But that was a few days ago, as well. Sounds like everyone dumped theirs?

nah, if anything it was DDoS and scripts people were using to buy and sell frantically to make money. There are reports of people making thousands in mere minutes.....

Steam still has issues for me. My inventory won't load, and the forum is on/off. Click on a thread, and it works, click on the next page, it won't load. Click again a couple of minute slater, the page loads. I hope they find those DDoS guys and give them a short time in prison. Just long enough to impress them.

I was trying to get my winter badge finished before everything disappeared. After first I thought I'd broken it by hitting refresh 8 bazillion times trying to get a card before someone else purchased it

Also you're punishment suggestion is far too mild for the internet. I'm afraid you're going to have to suggest being drawn and quartered or Colombian neck tie if you want to be taken seriously.

I think keyboard & mouse get in the way of the touchscreen-awesome interface. Just think of the whole screen as one big start button that tucks you in at night.

Yeah, keyboard and mouse is SO 2007. Who uses that shit anymore?

How many Bethesda published games are on GOG?

Not many people are aware, but the borders are considered a "constitution free zone" according to the government since 1952 as the DHS, CBP, and ICE are given authority to search people without any probable cause and disregard the 4th amendment in a boundary 100 miles from the border.

I'm sure Valve has a contingency plan in case they go out of business and have to shut the servers down. If you're not a moron there's no reason to worry about it today.

Blame Bethesda and Steam for their tight pro-drm stance. Hopefully everyone that wanted these got them by now.

I don't remember seeing them on the shelves much back then. Still sad I missed them. They must have been far better when they were just released.

Best thing about all our love for the old school games is their return via KickStarter and indie studios. Can't wait for Wasteland 2!

Now there are very few games they sell that can actually be re-sold, because most of what they sell are Steam keys and of course they can't take those back once you've redeemed them. I wouldn't be surprised if Valve is working on a streaming demo system, though.

Are the early access games you're looking at self published? Then there's your answer as to why early access exists.

Oh, you mean like this one?

The one ubisoft is doing? The P2W game they've marked as early access? That will become F2P but right now is pay only?

Never heard of it and don't care. Game looks like a pile of shit anyway. Who would be stupid enough to buy that? The vast majority of early access games are by microscopic indie devs working on a fraction of the budget to what big publishers would usually fund them. This has to be explained every day because morons like to cry.

Get it now? Oh no of course not.

I think if Steam weren't there we'd be using something other that isn't called Steam but still does all the things Steam does. In the end, the market showed it needed a digital retail service that is publisher agnostic....

How insanely stupid it was from Stardock to sell Impulse is beyond words though.

If Valve decided to get out of the business, there would be a long line of people wanting to buy it from them, but lets hope that never happens.
