                  @lyrica Everything is wrong with Steam. From not letting you play without it running, to the stupid amount of time it adds to open games.

                      @lyrica Minor? Come on, I have to find cracks to be able to play Steam games without the program being annoying and trying to control what I do. Cracks. For legit games.

                          @lyrica That's not minor at all. The gaming experience of a legit game should be superior to the experience of a pirated game. With things like Steam, there's no point on buying games, since the pirated alternative is better in every way.

                              @lyrica Implying that buying AND THEN having to wait for it to download is in any way superior to just walking to a store or ordering a DVD copy.

                                @nerthos Because you can do it from home instead of having to head out to a store, which may be far away?

                                        @nerthos Steam takes minutes to download, maybe hours, and I haven't heard of any method of cash payment that doesn't involve going to the store.

                                @nerthos it is, better sales, and download still takes the same amount of time as going to a store, and hoping said store has the game, then going home, and then installing it

                                  @lyrica Even if the download were instant, the game would still be infected by the Steam platform all over it. It takes the same amount of time to download a cracked version, for free.

                                          @redenchilada I don't know. I find a program that forces itself to run whenever you want to play a game awful. I wouldn't have a problem with it if I could just buy games there, download them, and unbind them from the whole platform. Like with Good old Games.
