I've been part of Steam for 11 years now, not that I wanted to be part of it in the beginning, I was forced by retailers to enter license keys because paying for the items wasn't good enough... I think everyone is forgetting the fact that Steam is just as bad if not sometimes worse than Denovo DRM. Gabe Newell is basically forcing EVERYONE to use his app, Steam has it's ups and downs but mostly I can't enjoy Steam all that much.. I was really excited to hear about GOG & when they did a Galaxy app, it was so different, it was optional not forced in anyway.. Maybe Gabe could learn a thing or two there...
See I perfer reatil "Big Box" Games as LGR calls them in his youtube videos. I want my library of game to take up space in my room. having everything digital has lost some of the glorious excitement I used to feel when opening a game box for the first time, almost having a new car smell. Who among the CH community loathes Steam & digital only services?
Could'nt agree more and same thing goes for music albums, I forgot all about the excitement of opening fresh new album smelling the booklet with all the nice artwork and lyrics and browsing it while listening to the album.. These days are long gone I'm afraid.
