It might have something to do with the fact that steam isn't intrusive and, at least with real DLC and not microtransactions, it's always free.

that said this mann co store is complete bullshit and I can't believe people like me spend so much in it.

Not ONE of the weapons and items that Valve has in their shop provides an advantage that cannot be gotten through regular play.

Not to mention they don't release map packs for extra money, you faggot.

DRM = Digital Rights Management

Basically, anything that's designed to stop pirates from playing vidya.
Reason it's bitched about is that nine times out of ten, pirates get a crack within a week of game getting released, while buyers have to hop through rediculous hoops to play the games they paid for for-fucking-ever.

If you're interested in learning more, try googling Starforce, Origin, or Uplay.

Though it does piss me off when someone talks about how Valve is incorruptibly perfect and the people who will singlehandedly save gaming, just how it pisses me off when someone says that they're the root of all evil and are comparable with EA and Activision. Really, while they aren't perfect by any means, they are really one of the better companies out there. Their DRM is a lot less intrusive than most other developers, plus they constantly update TF2 and such with new content for free.

If I remember correctly, you only need to login on Steam once, and then if your internet goes down but you're still logged in on Steam, you can play whatever you want, so long as it's properly updated.

Yeah. Also, fuck Mirror's Edge, BioShock, Arkham Asylum, Borderlands, Mass Effect, and Tribes Ascend, they're all mods for Gears of War, who the fuck would pay for that shit.

The only difference between Activision and Valve is that Valve has a few psychologists working instaff and have a great public relations team that constantly prowls through Reddit and 4chan and NeoGAF.

You need to go online to install the games and sync them. Then you can activate Offline mode and never need to go online again, logins and logouts pose no issues.

IF you logout normally without activating that option, however, the next time you run it it will try to authenticate online, but it's by design. Essentially as long as you keep in Offline mode unless you intend to purchase or install a game, you're home free.

And mind you, I have 4 machines with Steam installed, with some duplicate copies of games. It asked me ONCE if the machines were mine, asked for an authentication code I received via mail and never bothered me since. I have no experience with Origin, but I imagine that wouldn't be possible - a big fuck you to virtualization ...

Both the DLC kind of suck, but I like Valve's idea of DRM

I mean, most multiplayer is online after all, and you're probably going to download the game from Steam anyway because of all the sales and shit

The thing about Valve DLC is, that they give you useful free content, like maps and weapons, but also useless shit like hats and misc items. Consumer profits, because he gets free shit, and Valve profits too, because some people just like virtual hats, and are ready to pay for them.

So Valve DLC is better than no DLC.

Because you get free content and if you want to buy a hat you can? Sounds like I'm sticking with Valve.

How does that even apply?
The only reason people show up in these threads is because you're talking shit about a company they think is doing good.

You don't see any "GRORIOUS VALVE APPRECIATION THREADS" on /v/, and any that DO pop up, is in direct response to you faggots not being able to cope with some people liking a company that you feel you're entitled to making a ridiculous thread to shit on it rather than talking about a game made by a company you DO like.

If you punch a person, you expect the person to punch you back. It's not a "defense force" you dumb retards, it's just that you go out of your way to attack a group of people, then ridicule them when they attack you back as if they were "wrong" on the sole principle of actually responding in the same coin.
