I feel bad for the players that buy stuff they know they're not gonna like.

Originally posted by Scorchien I totally agree with this. I would also add..
Installing on multiple computers is EASY!
Just log in, autheniticate new computer and bam, games downloading. Great for those of us that DO understand computers and upgrade regularly.
I have a friend that just HATES Steam. I really don't understand why. Of course, he refuses to play modern FPS games because they are not Medal of Honor... the original one... he still plays it... UGH!

I think people are just delusional sometimes. I use both Steam and Origin and neither have given me any issues at all.

Origin is better than it was.
But given the choice I would use steam as it let's me transfer games to my laptop Ea drm used to be origin awful though with only letting you install it x times or upgrade your pc y times. |

Haha, I seriously LOL at people bashing and hating on steam. 90%+ of the people hating on steam don't know how to use basic functions of a computer. Ive been using steam for years, never had a problem or bugs that prevented me from playing... Besides you can launch a lot of games with steam not even running, including skyrim. |

Originally posted by DancingQueen Wouldn't it just be easier to say, 'yeah I'm dumb when it comes to computers' rather than blame a product that had nothing to do with your issue. Swallow that pride instead of this futile attempt to piggyback off of other peoples complaints and drag this embarresment out any further. |

Steam was crap when it first came out. They took Counterstrike from being a free mod and put it on store shelves, then used steam to kill gamespy and other game server services so you could only use steam to play CS. It's been crap, always, it's just morphed into a whole need breed of crap.

However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

Of course you're not the only one that thinks steam is crap, it's impossible to make a product that everyone loves. However, going by the numbers, it's a 6 page thread, so assuming everyone posted just once and that every single post is saying that steam is crap (which isn't true, in a quick peek at the first page I can see people posting more than once, supporting steam and tryign to help the OP troubleshot what's causing his problems with it), that means it's 90 posts total (6 pages x 15 posts per page)... let's also assume that those are only 1% of the people hating stream, which I think it's generous given the assumptions I made before, and that people having a bad experience tend to be much more vocal than those having a good experience, make it 9000 people.... Which means steam would be a huge success taking into account the nearly 6 million peak concurrent users linked in the stats post, since it would mean less than 1.5% of the users are having a bad experience. Personally I love steam, and having a steam version is a huge plus for me when it comes to buying a new game, not to mention that I feel that I've learnt about more indie titles there in the last couple of years than in the rest of my computer gaming life (got my first computer 25 years ago). What can men do against such reckless hate? |

There are plenty of valid reasons not to like Steam. Like not being able to trade your games or give them to your friend when you are tired of them, or being partially responsible for more companies and gamers embracing day 1 DLCs (remember I said partially) and a nightmare to get refunds from not to mention support if you get hacked. Or if you are a minimalist that just want the bare necessities to run in the background without having a piece of DRM software like steam running just out of principle
However linking to other threads with other peoples issues is quite frankly as dumb as it gets. Get some opinions of your own, even halfway based in something logical and then come back for a better discussion, because this is frankly pure idiocy |
