>>339178753My first major relationship ended really poorly as she was unable to introspect or confront people and let the relationship go on for years past when she wanted to leave. Now whenever a relationship gets physical my depression flairs up immediately and all I want to do is isolate myself and be alone. I have broken up with one girl before who was amazing to me and knew my most degenerate secrets and am about to do it again to a childhood friend who thinks the world of me and has liked me for years.
>>339178993
I'd have returned it.
>>339177496
Will we ever be able to go to a store, buy a game, stick the disc in, install, play? I'm tired of my only options being DRM, pirate, or digital only. It's the only thing keeping me from buying PC games.

people who like actually owning something?
god tier manuals and big maps included with games was one of the best parts of PC gaming
in the future if Steam manages to go down totally all of your games will be gone
>>339179832
>All these buzzwords
Anon, you're not even trying anymore.
>>339179832
Paying for DRM games is like going to a grocery store and buying an apple
Paying for non-DRM games is like finding an apple tree in the wild and leaving money under the tree
Just don't leave your money under the tree if it's non-DRM.
DRM is literally fine it's a necessary hoop to jump through in order to verify that an item was actually purchased.
>>339180001
>implying people loved owning manuals and maps when all that stuff only collected dust
>m-muh collectibles
I already have all the Fallout games pirated. I just found one in my local store at a good price and thought it would be a nice piece of collection.
But my PC is so fucking shit running Steam, I would rather buy onlyFallout 3
>>339180001
>god tier manuals and big maps included with games was one of the best parts of PC gaming
It used to be the best part of gaming in general. No one does it anymore; that's not Steam's fault.
>in the future if Steam manages to go down totally all of your games will be gone
That's a BIG fucking if, anon. Realistically that won't happen in our lifetime.
>>339179519
>someone who disagrees with me must be defending Valve!
>>339177496
nobody buys it for the games anyway. i bought it for the shitty fucking bomb that doesn't even sound like a mininuke. I'm never buying promotional vidya items ever again.
>>339180181

then fuck off and go suck Valve's cock for reducing the value of PC games as a whole

Oh, you kids. So naive and optimistic. Steam hasn't even been around for 15 years, and you think they'll be around for 50 or more. You're insane.

>>339180987

>>339180812
Are you a fucking retard? Tell me what any of that has to do with video games. How does any of that apply to DRM?
>>339180561
I'm sorry man, I know exactly what you're going through so I know how bullshit it is
>>339180842
>he doesn't like DRM so he must pirate
>>339181108
Those numbers mean jack shit on a site like Steam. I've made EIGHT Steam accounts since 2006, you really think there aren't thousands of people who have done the same? Google, on the other hand, is literally the definition of a search engine for almost everyone on the planet.
>>339177726
having steam is literrally no different then using a console. if you use steam and shitpost to console users you should walk off a bridge
>>339180742Thanks for the support anon. I just hate breaking up, it's so much easier when you don't have to be the bad guy
>>339181123
DRM is the lock that ensures that you have a right to play that game i.e. you bought it
locks are the DRM of doors that ensure you have a right to open them i.e. you have a key
you're fucking retarded as hell if you really can't draw the parallels
>>339181269
Why did you make 8 steam accounts anon?
>>339180987
>>339181269
>he thinks the entire internet population plays vidya games
>>339181108
and 75 million of them aren't active
>>339181450
Because I needed alts and I used different accounts to keep in touch with different people instead of doing everything under one username. Two of them got hacked, and I forgot the password to another one. Account numbers are in no way representative of how many people are using Steam.
>>339181479
>posting incoherent bullshit
>reddit filename
Shocker
>>339181398
That is a dumb fucking analogy. I bought the game I should be able to do what I want with it. I don't need a "lock" on a video game that I purchased. I don't know if you're smart enough to understand this anon but doors and video games are two completely different things.
>>339181650
>75 million
>>339177978
they are, and they don't sell the cucked version of fallout 1.
Look it up, fallout 1 they sell on steam is the German censored version with kids removed. It actually renders some side quests impossible because of some child npcs absence
What reason is there, really, not to use Steam? I don't see any problem with it. It's the primary way I stay in contact with my friends, keeps all my games in one place so I can use it on multiple computers, uses cloud so I can even play the same save on a different computer, and has a huge library of (mostly shit) games that are almost always on sale.
in b4 shill, why the fuck would Valve need to shill steam. I'm just sincerely curious as to why I shouldn't be using it. I also buy games on GoG and GMG, but Steam is the best thing I know about for organizing my shit and also for talking to people and such.
>>339181147
You even posted the childhood friend part. I havn't told anyone about that.
PLEASE STOP, VIDEO GAMES, HELP
>>339178217
>>339177496
The first 2 Fallouts are DRM free on steam. Yeah, obviously if you need steam to activate a steam code, but once you do you can do anything you want with the download.
>>339179519
It's okay to admit you were retarded and wrong. No damage control is worth such (You) investment.
>>339182003
Sorry I doubted you, if VG247 said that a year ago it must be 100% accurate and relevant to this argument.
>>339181892
what is DRM stopping you from doing? you can play the game as much as you want if you bought it
buy the game and DRM isn't a problem for you.
>>339182026
>b-but what if it shuts down?!?!?!
Literally the only reason I've seen so far, which is completely idiotic.

>>339178052

It takes anywhere between 5 to 10 seconds between the moment you click on the Steam icon and the moment you start your game.
You faggots will throw a pissy fit about anything, goddamn.
>>339182431
I remember hearing that argument in like 2005 when it seemed like that could be a possibility at some time in the future. You know, before TF2 came out, to say nothing of DOTA. But, today? In current year? Steam isn't going to go away any time soon and even if it did I can't imagine that Valve would jew everyone out of the games they bought decades ago (when this could be a possibility).

LMFAO
Valve doesn't even make statements when people's credit cards get stolen.
>>339177871
>raise hell and eat cornbread yee yee
>>339183357
I don't have any personal bad experience with Valve so I can't attest to that. Whose credit card got stolen, cause that's some shady as fuck shit if you have proof.
As for customer service though, I've refunded several games on Steam because they were shit. I don't know any other game sales websites that do that.
Still, the point is, Steam isn't going anywhere, so why not use it? Again, I heard people say that shit in the mid 2000s but today it's nonsense.
>>339182713
>>I don't want to have some shitty client on my PC
it's not shitty it's actually pretty helpful
>>no physical disc
that's just something you have to get over. video games are a digital product they always have been if there was internet before video games there never would've been floppies of games
>>Internet connection often required
for online games. if you have the game already installed you don't need the internet.
games that require always online for no reason are notoriously bad like the new Simcity that came out
>>no loaning to friends
but you can. just gotta set up family share on each persons account
>>no resell
ok why would a company want you to be able to sell their product?
>>339177496
>want to play games

It isn't hard to imagine. The problems start when somebody tries to pose their vivid imagination as factual evidence.

Fallout 4 is a mess, it worked about 4 months ago but I stopped because a bug made an annoying clicking noise hum at me 24/7. I try giving it another chance now, and it doesn't even start. Just flashes black before booting me out to the desktop. I've tried everything.
