Call me old fashioned but with people not being able to play PC Assassin’s Creed for a week because Ubisoft servers were down, the srm bullshit of some games, and a general feeling of safety from physical media I prefer buying games on disc than digitally. On disc nothing can happen to my game if I take care of it no random interference.
So I’ve been told you can copy anything you buy on steam onto any blank dvd is this true? If so it’s pointless to ever not buy from steam unless you find a lower price on amazon.
You’re telling me you guys dropped 100’s, maybe 1000’s of dollars on a new PC, yet you buy all your games *digitally? *Why not do the same thing, but not pay for it? Morals? CD-keys required to play online? You’re ballin’ and don’t care?
I like playing games online against other people, most of my options for pirating multi-player PC games goes down to CS 1.6, and that shit is whack.
I’d rather support the companies and play with large communities and get constant patches for good games than have to crack and sneak my way to crappy single-player modes.
Modern installs of already cracked games don’t even require you to fuck with them post-install. The majority of them are install and play, no extra bullshit required. It’s actually easier to install a cracked modern game these days, than it is to install a “new” modern game which also sometimes installs programs on your PC that run in the background ALWAYS(Punkbuster, EA’s Origin, others I’m sure.) Some games require you to always be connected to the internet to play, which is fucking stupid for a single-player only game like Ass Crease.
Steam requires you to be signed-in to play the majority of their games, right? I know there’s an offline mode, but I swear the few games I do have don’t even work in offline mode.
I support game companies sometimes, too. Keyword: companies, because the developers of our favorite games don’t see a dime of our money. Most of the time, though, I buy used or I pirate everything. I’d say by the far the majority of the games I own on PS3 are used, probably like a 60:40 ratio or so. I’m that asshole gaming companies blame for shit sales for their shit game, as well as their “reasoning” behind DRM and the new addition of “online passes” for console gamers.
Ive embraced the digital age. I sold all of my disc based games because I had every one of them in digital form. No need for more crap sitting in my house collecting dust.
I like Steam because its simple and games are cheap. Sure, I pirate some games when I dont really have the money to spare on another game or Im just feeling naughty and dont care if I can play it online or not. Later on I end up buying some of those games so I can play them online. Hell, of the 150 something games on my PC only about 10 are from pirating.
Hawkingbird - I got on that Gotham City Imposters yesterday, hell, I thought that shit was always free to play. Anyhow, Ive had it on the PS3 for a while as its one of the “free” plus games. I was also in the PC beta for the game. Its a fun and silly FPS game.
I actually recorded a couple matches of me getting fucked up yesterday.

Ahh just what I was looking for I play Blacklight Retribution and Left 4 Dead 2 like they’re going out of style, so if anyone wants to get some games in add me.
Dirrzt360 - Played a few games of Gotham Imposters Imposters last night and it’s a really weird game. I have no idea how anyone can get decent control with skates as their gadget. The other stuff like gliding and spring shoes are pretty cool. I like the homemade aesthetic of the weapons. I’m trash at FPS but I’ll make this game something I play when I’m bored of everything else I’m playing.
I got your message…I haven’t played L4D2 in a while but I would be down to play sometime. Just as long as you won’t kick me out or take off if I want to take a 5 minute smoke break after playing for a bit.
