well, whilst you ar downloading you free hacked version and bitching about "Steam" (meaning DRM, the need for online verification/ activation, inability to play completely offline, etc)... keep in mind that there is no-one else to blame for "Steam" than the hackers and pirates.

Even duct tape can't fix stupid... but it can muffle the sound.

Not sure what you mean. Steam doesn't stop Piracy and wasn't designed to.

without hacked/ pirated softwares, there would be no need to have a "Steam" to rage about in the first place, eh

No, because like I said, it's a distribution system, not software protection. It's like saying the reason we have online shopping is because of theft...

Steam actually makes it easier for people to crack games and get them out even faster now. The future is not steam.. its a fad. As the future approaches the abillity for each publisher to distribute their games digital will get easier and easier and wont need a 3rd party to do that anymore. So each publisher will simply distribute the game their selves digitally like it should be
