I got bigger problems than my games on steam if WW3 is announced.
>>336116371
yeah like all the shit you've done before doesn't matter anyway if it begins
Why would they shut down Steam?

its WW3 I am probably going to get drafted and then die in battle anyways. My steam library of about 50 games is the least of my problems
>>336116615
So that the government can forcibly take valve's computers and servers to run decryption algorithms on enemy data, obviously.

Different scenario but same exact result. Guess what would persist though? Digital Steam games.
>>336116286
>USA Declares WW3
they wouldnt last a month, the nation is succumbed by hollwood culture and corporatism, they never have any training or mentality for war. What will happen is they will start civil war with each other.
I download and print all my licenses out, and start pirating. I own a license to the games, and unless steam revokes those before a shutdown, they wouldn't be able to stop me.
And if they tried, i'd just hire and lawyer and draw it out, since if they're shutting down the service they're removing their EULA based immunity to class action lawsuits.
I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one.

great call, I like your thinking.
>>336116286
I buy games to support the developer.
If I just wanted to play a game they are all available online for free.
>>336116286
Well, I'll be nuclear ash, probably. Don't really need to justify anything!
Why would you care, OP? You'd be busy taking it up the ass in jail from refusing to serve, beta bitch boy.

What will you cucks do now?
>>336118072
yes, and the troops are poorly trained, and the budget is used on amazing things like those F35s that never saw service.
By sueing Valve
>>336118012
Dumb fuck. You signed off on your rights to owning the games when you hit "agree" on steam's contract.
>WW3 happens
>your house is bombed
>all those bought games are now destroyed
>>336118768
buy a console? Or probably get nuked. Either I'm toast, or my game system's making it
>WW3 is on
>Power grid goes out
>All your games are now wasted
How do you justify purchasing non existent products?
>>336118750
i'd gladly die for my shitty country rather then defend the games i got in my steam library. 15 games filled with remorse...
>>336118627
you can do with your money whatever you want but why do you think they require your support?
>>336118887
>Highly trained troops

Loving every laugh
Wtf did I just lurk
>>336118952
I know, it's terrible. I wish I had to go to gamestop and pay 70 for new PC games so I could pop them into my non-existing DVD-drive. Sometimes they were out of new games due to demand but that was fine... I would get it eventually. I also liked swapping discs and multi disc installations, it really felt like I owned my games. 10 years later I can't use them but they were MINE. Fuck steam breeding shut-in weebs that sign out their ownership. There would be no possible way to play steam games if steam ever disappeared, no way in hell.
>>336118952
I know I don't own them, I own licenses, you stupid fucking mong. Try reading.
Those licenses entitle me to be able to download that game at my leisure. They'd have to not only shut down the service but change the EULA. and there's no way i'd agree to that, and they'd be breaking their own EULA at that point. If they're breaking it by removing my paid services, i'll sue. The american legal system is great that way.
>>336119197
Because they have to make a profit in order to be able to make more games.
If I don't believe they deserve my support I won't give them any money.

yeah and fuck every single thing whatever you did before right? it's WW3 who the hell cares what ever the fuck you did in the past.

I'd only be a little bit annoyed that I didn't get to beat nameless kings.

Not true. You can use your console normally without online functions.
>>336116371
I don't, I'm swiss.
>>336120185
Not when there's a mandatory "security" update
>>336119324
The only game that would disappear would be shitty greenlit indy games that nobody ever bothered pirating, I guess
>>336121026
Yes, you can. How do you think CFW is developed? You may not be able to go online but you can still play all your games.
>>336116286
>Implying wars stop business from happening
Your assumptions about why steam will close are false, wars are being increasingly fought by controlling money coming into a country rather than controlling the country. Steam wouldn't shut down for that.
Otherwise, I'm paying quite a bit less to have unlimited access to a game. If that service fails I'll did somewhere else to get a similar service
>>336121257
But this is during WW3 anon, and devs are shutting down their services.
On PC you can get locked out of individual games (which is easily fixed with a crack) on console they can lock out your entire system including hardware
>devs got my money for the game they made
>games are still on my hard drive
>those that aren't I can just pirate
Non-problem
> PS4 has no games
How do you justify buying it?
>>336121026
If your console has no internet connection how would it ever discover some mandatory security patch?
Think things through before you post 'em son.
>>336120454
Same here brother
>>336121618
I think you're exaggerating an issue that wouldn't even exist. You're treating a war as though it changes everything for the country immediately, as though it was the eastern front. Comparatively, wars aren't wry disruptive anymore and business still happens in conflicted countries.
I just don't see what you're bitching about becoming an issue
>>336121727
see
>>336121618
>>336121927
I think you're taking a shitposting fred seriously
>>336121618
WHY would they lock you out of your console? That does nothing for them. It's a total non-issue. And you'd still need to be connected to the internet in the first place for them to push out even a stealth hotfix to remote brick your shit.
>>336122198
>WHY would they lock you out of your console?
why would steam lock you out of your games?
>>336121996
My point is also that this thread is assuming ww3 breaks out and every game available gets pulled back to their developers hand like a fish on a line. Why would a world war get in the way of digital distribution? It doesn't get in the way of digital business. China and India are both still in a hot conflict right now, they're still mass manufacturing.
The assumptions you're making about what developers will do is like a Tom Clancy novel it just doesn't make sense
>>336116286
>He thinks international trade stopped during world wars.
>>336122292
They wouldn't, basically
>>336122292
I never said they would. I'm not the guy you were originally arguing with. This is all such a non-issue, but the biggest thing of all is how you think they'll actually have the capability to fucking remotely brick your consoles. That is so paranoid it belongs on /x/.

A war doesn't take place in your livingroom retard. It's not like in movies where there's bullets and explosions everywhere.
People went out to the movies more during WWII than before or after
>>336122998
Especially in eastern europe?

you do realize 99% of the steam users buys shit from steam sale, then don't play it and proceed to play their favourite online shit right? You do realize that simple fact? I hope you do
>>336116286
>USA declares WW3
With whom?
>>336116812
How does that not make you foreign?
>>336123186
I'm sure they did in the parts that weren't war torn and had movie theaters
>>336123291
Not sure how you equate terrorist attacks to a war. Also people go see movies in NY just as much as ever, don't they?
>>336122580
I think it's actually technically possible to do that, in case the console was sufficiently backdoored beforehand. Like, I'm pretty sure Intel processors can be remotely turned off through Internet, but you would need Intel to cooperate for that. You still need Internet for that, might be also achievable with Wi-Fi or a connected USB, I think, but you obviously need to be specifically targeted for that.
The main question is not how, but for what purpose. There is literally no reason to brick consoles unless the opposing country holds important strategic world plans on CFW PS3, or something. Considering how unimportant consoles are in the grand scheme of things, they might not even have the sufficient backdoors.
>>336123851
with the world obviously.
>>336123851
Considering how they call local sporting events "world championship" they probably think even shooting at themselves is a world war
>>336116286
>>Valve shuts down steam
For what purpose?
If WW3 actually happens steam will make tons of money from war gam
>>336116286
I don't think about all the games that went offline. I join up with the US military cause I'm not a commie.
>>336119541
You'll all be rodeo clowns once USA gets ahold of you don't worry
Which games allow me to change the usual 30 mag with drum mag?
>>336123901
>>336123186
I can't imagine they had a lot of money to spend on theaters, but there might've been free movie screenings to keep up the morale. People need to handle stress during war somehow.
Not actually sure, though, just talking out of my ass.
>>336123563Ireland
Who will USA fight with?
>>336124728
10 Canadians in a wooden boat from the Far North.
What will the new physical game medium beif any?
New super discs?
USB sticks?
Some kind of phone service as medium between the shop and your PC/console?
Nikola tesla beams directly into your computer?
Bionic technology storing shit in your body?

No. This implies you don't want to use the internet, for whatever reason, ya dingus. It's more like you bring your phone to Gamestop and transfer files from there to phone and then unload to your PC when you are home.
