Risen 2 will be infected with Steam DRM

He doesn't count. He's a dumbfuck, I have him on ignore and I bet he's just trolling to give "our" side a bad rep

STEAM IS AWESOME I FULLY SUPPORT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111

Steam tastes like chicken. It's delicious, try it.

It's a matter of control, what we call "own". Give away control and it's gone. I don't mind others freely giving away theirs. I will not give up mine (freely). *shrug*

Unless you live in a bubble and are independently wealthy I guarantee you that you give up 'control' in some form or another in a variety of ways in all aspects of life outside of the computer game market. Economically, politically, socially, life is a series of compromises. We all make them and 'sell out' on some level or another.

Needless loss of control and freedom is needless.
You're dependant on stuff anyway. Why not become my slave. We all have to make compromises

It scares me that there are people so willing to get deprived of their rights.

Seriously? People worship religions that dictate every aspect of their lives. I would be MORE shocked if people were highly unwilling to be deprived of their rights. That feeling of belonging, security, and being important in a society is clearly more important to most when you think about it. If that wasn't the case, the impact of religion would be less widespread world-wide. A false sense of security is more important than having the freedom to do as they please it seems.

Edit: The only reason such people would lash out is when their rights are deprived to the point that things they value are taken away. Not before.

And so a discussion on Steam has turned into a discussion on religion. At least it didn't turn into comparisons with Nazis... yet.

 

[TripJack]

steam sucks and so does religion and so does a lot of other stuff

 

[JarlFrank]

Nazis were better than Steam.

 

[Phelot]

"AND IN THE THIRD AGE, THE GREAT CLAN OF PC SPLIT INTO TWO WITH MOST LEAVING TO JOIN THE CULT OF THE STEAM GOD WHO OFFERED THEM CHEAP GAMES IN RETURN FOR THEIR LOYALTY. THE OLD ONES WERE LAUGHED AT BY THE STEAM GOD BRETHREN. THEN ONE DAY THE STEAM GOD CAME UP FROM ITS PIT AND TOOK ALL OF ITS FOLLOWERS PORN AND THE BRETHREN WEPT AND SAW THE OLD ONES WITH THEIR GAME BOXES AND WITH THEIR PORN. SO ENDS THE THIRD AGE."

They would eventually put you out of your misery in a shorter amount of time (though painfully). Steam is a unholy abomination that will suck the life out of you to sustain itself while also giving you ever so little life back to ensure you do not die. Then, when you have become a complacent thrall, it'll kick you out onto the streets, letting you rot in your own feces until you succumb to the depressing thoughts of how worthless a person you truly are for supporting such an demonic being. Then you will die and forever you will be forgotten as if you were just another piece of trash being thrown out into the dumpster.

Best thing about Steam is the insane amount of butthurt it causes.

Well Steamworks integration is good news but I still have my doubts about the quality of the game. Multiplatform development is rarely a good sign.

It took this long to hit Godwin's law? Guys need to pick up the pace.

 

[waywardOne]

The best thing about Steam is that the two games I bought via are so terrible that they were uninstalled startlingly quickly. Steam is an automatic point against a game and, quite frankly, there aren't any games good enough to overcome that lately.

 

[made]

Curious fact: STEAM is (almost) an anagram for SATAN. Coincidence? I think not.

 

[FatCat]

Ha , everyone is so butthurt about Steam it's hilarious. I use Steam for 2 years now and never did i have problem with it , i would take Steam over any other kind of DRM.

 

[Metro]

Steam ate my cat. True story.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Is not being able to resell games really that much of a turn off? I live in third world and I never missed the three bucks I'd get from my used pc games. I didn't even care about selling my old console games, and those actually sell for a decent value.

It scares me that there are people so willing to get deprived of their rights.

More like, there are people that don't really care about giving up some rights they consider meaningless, like that of being sure they'll be able to install some game via CD twenty years later.

Mostly because in 20 years games will be downloaded directly into our brains anyway, so the CD will be useless because there will be no CD drives. The butthurt will be interesting to see.

But Valve controls your mind

 

[Konjad]

I don't know how the games will look in 20 years, but in 40 we will play with stones and sticks

Good point , who would care about installing game from CD after 20 years ? CD/DVD-rom's won't be in use after 7 years or so.Same as installing something from floppy now-days.
A real collector keeps his games in mint condition anyways.+ you can download everything.
There is no point in buying game if it doesn't have multilayer and steam is great platform for multiplayer especially if they will further improve their voice chat.But if you want to support dev's , in that case buy it and keep it in your collection unpacked.

Yeah well I can also make an iso or just keep the game installed on my HDD for 20 years and it will always be usable. When steam goes down, you won't even be able to play a game you have installed on your HDD.

 

[SCO]

Well, it's far more likely they'll be bought by Warner-Disney or something and allow you access for the low, low price of 250$ per month (post-inflationary collapse) + a few unobtrusive advertisements overlayed over your menus.

Right click on a game in Steam Library -> Properties -> Updates -> Do not automatically update this game

It does not work!
The game still updates!

Wow. Seeing the dickhead responses to the OP is rage inducing.

Oh yes, i remember how i once asked for advice on their forum. It went something like this:

Me: Hi guys, i am having a problem, i alredy tried the solution from FAQ but it didn't work. I also tried some additional solutions found by google but they didn't help too. Can you look into this?

Dickheads: OMG u r retarded, read the FAQ!!!11

Me: Ehh, i already did. It's not helping.

Dickheads: stop trolling stupid whiner, go read FAQ!11!

Official response: Steam is not responsible for problems with games not developed by Valve.


Of course developer's tech support told me that they are not responsible for problems with Steam. I solved the problem by using cracked exe.

Honestly, the last place I think to look for a fix is at official websites. Seems like some other poor soul has already figured out that they're useless and posted their own fix somewhere online.
