@Sicklyboy, A lot of which you're renting them, you don't own the games without Steam through annoying DRM.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
"But well, what about purchasing a physical game?" - same ordeal; stuff like Ubisoft's UPlay on games like the Sims 4, where you have to download the game online before playing it. As well as Half Life 2 which came with Steam DRM.+1

Get me a Facebook girl from dating app go to fancy restaurants for like a straight week then she leave me when she learns I can't afford anymore -

Sicklyboy:
@SylverReZ yeah, I know :/ the unfortunate compromise I'm making to play games without pirating them. At least Steam/Valve are one of the least-evil companies in the space.+1

You gotta worry about the devs pulling the servers more than steam actually taking away your game tbf+1

SylverReZ:
They're not as bad anyways, they made the Steam Deck which first became Steam Machines.

@
SylverReZ:
You gotta worry about the companies selling the games that could pull it from Steam at any given time without warning, and poof, that game is gone from your library.

Steamos machines been around a minute valve just got lucky and released something affordable before everyone else

Sicklyboy:
@K3Nv3, and that's why I almost exclusively play single-player only games that don't require always-online shit, and for the games that do have an always-online requirement or largely depend on it, the dev/publishers are ones that have a track record of supporting their games longer term+2

If Cod released like a multi-player online for $8 a month they could make a killer bargain with all the games people would rather do that then spend $100 on the crap
