It's the Apple of cars in the sense that they release shit that has been on the market for quite some time and pretend that they invented it, and the normies lap it up. "Autopilot" has been around for years - a 2016 civic can now do the same shit a Tesla can do as far as autonomous driving.

Valve's entire business model is about automation. Their ultimate goal is to sit back and do literally nothing as money rolls in.

That's why their support system is automated, why they automated the way games get added to Steam, why they outsource all of their development costs to their community, etc.

They're a billion dollar company and only have 300 employees.

I don't know, but whenever you get cards you can turn around and sell them for Steam funny-money credits to other suckers. If you've been getting the cards for the sale from the beginning you'd have $1 in credit from selling them for $0.10 each. I've bought entire $60 games off the cards and drops from games. It's like a fun consumer rewards system.

Theres LITERALLY no reason for a game to only be on steam unless it depends on it for multiplayer or something else. If it's single player there's no excuse. And even if Valve wasn't incompetent and DRM really was nbd, fuck having to get and play games through their bloated client.

What he's saying (I think) is that GOG's business model isn't seen as being viable by larger devs because the games on GOG aren't as in-demand as the AAA summer releases like CoD etc. Whoever owns the rights to AVP 2000 probably doesn't really care much if people are pirating the game, so releasing it on GOG DRM free just means they are going to make money at little to no cost to them.
Smalltime studios producing games can really only benefit from going DRM free as well, since it's just important for them to sell their game at all so they can build a reputation and fund their next project.

This is wrong. It was a caching issue, nobody was ever actually logged into another account. Trying to actually interact with the account you got always resulted in an error iirc.

>>
>>52055778
Yeah, I get that. But we can only speculate how a DRM-free market would work.
I assume most people don't buy shit on Steam because it can't be pirated (all the single player games can), but because it's convenient and popular.
And frankly kids nowadays are even less tech savvy and probably don't even know how to torrent (TPB being blocked in some places doesn't help).
tl;dr, they'd buy DRM free games as well. Maybe not 100% as much as on Steam, but pretty close.

I don't understand why DRM is still a thing when there have only been a handful of cases where a game was not cracked and available for piracy within a few hours the past 15 years.

Perhaps by not adding it publishers fear that they are making it legally okay to distribute copies?

I'm really not, go to /v/ (lol) and you'll see the damage control by some posters in all of the Steam threads.

Kek, history repeats itself, back in the year 2000 situation was very similar. Emule p2p, private ftp, existed but it was some kind of magic. Not many people knew about it, others were scared and most were happily buying overpriced music/games cds.

It's highly unlikely they would actually need to be in the Valve datacenter. The guy working on this is most likely sitting next to his Christmas tree drinking eggnog while contemplating what he's going to do after being fired for losing Valve eight figures in sales on Christmas day.

DRM still stops pirates from enjoying the multiplayer element of the game in most cases. It's especially effective with consoles, since having a hacked console means you get banned from all online services.

It's an online shop.
You pay up, which unlocks the "download" button.
When clicked, it starts downloading the installer of your game you purchased, which then you burn into a CD/DVD and literally can go hide innawoods with it.

Technically speaking, nothing would stop you from doing this.
GOG's installers aren't tried to your account and don't ask you to enter a license key during/after the install.
Legally and morally it's a different story.

Steam's a sinking ship. Tried to get into hardware and couldn't have failed harder.
Failure after failure has occured, and all because Newell was a greedy fuck. Now without the financial advisor that made them so successful the company is moving into the downhill stage, and bound for collapse.

If Valve had a nanogram of integrity they would shut Steam down immediately until they can assess and correct the error.

This is what you get for trusting proprietary software with security.

yeah because open source software have no bugs, and if they do they are found immediately. just like heartbleed, bash bug, and the grub bug were found immediately after release and were patched soon after

You can't expect every bug to be found immediately. But the code is there to be studied. You rely on MS, Apple, Steam, etc. to solve your problem in the case of proprietary software.

Don't even ask about BIOS updates for old computers.

NONE of those were zero days. NONE of them were swept under the rug. They had patches before the announcement, not after the bug was exploited in the wild.

This is a zero day and Valve is doing damage control rather than taking the service offline and fixing it.

I've finally changed all my passwords
and I'm still worried
I've 1 credit card and one debit card
that I used to purchase stuff on my main account but most of the time I used BPI bank deposits (paying with cash) and steam gift cards

But the thing is, I live outside the US; steam allows the usage of non-international credit cards

I had 1 international MasterCard that I used for purchases back in 2012 when steam didn't support anything but US cards I left the data saved for the sake of convenience

In 2014-5 I started paying with my (national) debit card since steam started supporting payments thought a well know service in my country (that needs no accounts like paypal)
everytime steam redirected me to the service's dedicated payment website and bam everything was done with no problems and no data was saved on my steam account (no auto filling data)

there's a long time since I don't see my international credit card info auto-filled whenever I slide trough the payment options

so, should I even bother?

Incorrect. Best thing is to buy a van, modify it s you can sleep, eat, and have fun in it and then get a yearly subscription to a gym.

Reduce consumption of everything and a ton of money saved. I managed to go to college without taking debt or asking money from my parents this way.

I remember installing the steam desktop client for the first time this year on windows 7. The thing was like a fucking virus.
