If you run a sample search on any torrent website you'll see there are a lot of Steam games that are pirated, it's not difficult to bypass at all. |

Good find Novotny! The problem with the high street stores like GAME and Gamestation here in the UK (both fall under the same parent group) is that not only to PC publishers get the shaft from them but also console publishers. First the high street stores gave over most of their shelf space to console gaming but now have given over a lot of that space to used games sales. Console developers are not so happy with them and came up with incentive's for people to buy new like EA's online pass system. The shops don't like this but they still promote used games over new which is why console gaming is also going digital distribution - the PC with Steam is well ahead of the curve.
Microsoft could have done so much more with Games For Windows Live. It seems now they might realise that if you read this article where they pledge to make the service better but has Steam already got a stranglehold on PC digital distribution? |

Though I will admit, at least part of what makes Steam so effective is their integrating their storefront into their game loader. Its really easy to go from "What do I want to play today?" to "Ooo look, shiny new games!" Last edited by Voyager; 03-08-2011 at 04:09 PM. |

Besides that, speaking of the offline-mode: In this mode neither STEAM nor the game will update automatically. There is also no "calling home" in this mode. And one more sentence on modding: It's claimed dozens of times here and in the UBI-Forum that Steam is blocking modification of games. The opposite is true. You can even download many editors and tools for free with the STEAM-platform. You just run into a problem if you make changes to copy-protected files or try to run a modified version of a game as a normal version on cheat-protected servers. |

I remember offline mode being very poorly publicised and poorly implemented initially, but as Steam matured it's now become much less irritating. Last edited by TheGrunch; 03-08-2011 at 04:49 PM. |

Actually it was more fun than that. It eventually took them sending a tech out, and him saying "Yep the modem's dead" before they finally dealt with it. Last edited by Voyager; 03-08-2011 at 04:57 PM. |
