No reselling your game. You rent, you don't buy.
Valve can arbitrarily shut down your access if they feel you've violated their EULA (which you didn't sign at purchase but at installation, which makes it void even before the retarded nonsense in it makes it void). Hell, I've even had a discussion with a steam-apologist who was afraid to say anything bad about Valve on the codex for fear they'd shut down his ability to play his games.
Single player games require internet access.
Any problem server-side is directly transferred to client-side (Changing default settings only mitigates that).
When Valve has crashed and burned, so have your games. All your DVDs are worthless.
It's bloatware.
It's spyware.
And with the threat of you not being able to play the games you paid for, I also consider it malware.
Probably more that I'm forgetting or do not care about.
All those spiky sticks up the legal purchaser's ass don't bother the pirate one whit. He simply sails happily by.
We've had all these discussions a thousand times. Are you apologists trolling or just dense? Use Steam, if don't feel bothered by that stuff, but stop pretending it's not there, ffs...
The majority of Dungeon Siege fans bought it on launch I'm sure but I really have a hard time believing it was profitable considering the price drops and what it takes for something fairly big budget to be profitable these days.
Wut? DS3 shared a few names with the original DSs, nothing else. A DS-fan would have had no special reason to be interested in it. And I find it had to believe that many people do not inform themselves about games they spend 50 bucks on...
