All gaming will be done through a browser? ... Steam and Apple will be the new gaming king? ... No more physical media ... ? The current business model of consoles is obsolete ... ?

Steam's not perfect, but it's not anywhere near as bad as some posters here would have you believe.

Give it a chance and you'll find it's actually a pretty good platform.

It's called the the New World Order. Keep your head down.

Have you managed to find a way to keep that tinfoil from chafing around your ears?

when i am done with my cars,books,TV's,computers,Wife

...etc I can give them away or sell them...you should try doing that with Steam.

This "renting" under the guise of purchase is BS.

S!

It's a stretch of the truth to call it renting. Like I said steam isn't ideal in that they lock your games to your account. But it's not like they charge you a monthly fee.

Let's call a spade a spade and skip the rhetoric and hyperbole.

Fair warning my friend. I'd rather have tan ear lobes than wear VR glasses all day long making love to the Steam Cloud.

Disconnect your computer from the internet(pull cable or turn off Wi-Fi) and see if you can play Clod offline.

No one has any clue. As soon as they get to a point that something like this is perfected enough for mass consumer consumption right behind it is something that is going to replace it that is only theorized about today.

What will sims be like 20 years from now? It's anyone's guess.
