All Steam games where cracked on day of release. You can get illegal copies of every game that's out there, so the only thing drm successfully supresses is the market for used games.

IMHO ubisoft and 1c should have done it like dcs a-10,you put in your serial for install and then you can play offline no probs,but when in multiplayer you have to log into your account which has your serial stored on their website,and that with people who pirated the game cannot access multiplayer.

@tintifaxl Yes but those cracked games only allow single player so intake it you don't want multiplayer

Well, i must say that il2, bf 1942 and bf2 were the games worth playing, and pc gaming has no quality since. They are on my home comp and on my qosmio laptop.
To see Cliffs of Dover close to publishing, brings warm feelings to my hearth.
I have large estate out of city, and ejoy summer, sometimes winter months there. And i dont have internet there. Why? Because lan gaming has some special feeling. To bring frends in live contact is above any steam or battlenet or any other anti social software.
So, steam? No way. Not at home, not on my estate.
I do fine without auto updates, i like my comps without startup software, comercials, virus like software that keeps haunting you with various offers.
Lets keep things cousy and warm.
Steam is for other type of games, not this sweetie we all have been waiting for. Or give us option at least.

But there IS no problem playing Steam games without internet... I played both Hearts of Iron II and Red Orchestra that I have bought through Steam with my internet cable pulled to test. No problem at all (RO is a bit useless without Internet but it works fine). A dialog just pops up asking if you want to go to offline mode and all games work just fine. Tried CoD Modern Warfare 2 as well and it worked great too - even though it is heavily Steam integrated...

How is Steam "virus like?" It is a piece of software you choose to put on your PC that runs or doesn't run at your whim.

What type of games is Steam for?

As I've said before I don't really care if someone doesn't want to use Steam, and I can understand and respect that decision, but making up false claims is unacceptable. There are things I don't like, and so I don't use them or things that associate themselves with them, but I will not create facts or make bold statements that are unbacked to justify my reasoning. It is perfectly fair for someone to not want Steam, but be honest about the service itself.

There's always someone who has to go...

- If you don't take the blue pill, then you will probably have reservations.
-- If you have reservations, then you will probably have suggestions
--- If you are suggesting something, then you are technically complaining.
---- If you are complaining, then you are whining.
----- If you are whining, then you don't have a point.
------ If you don't have a point, then you should get lost.


Though, I did enjoy your attempt to equate being "anti-steam" with being "anti-everything".

The current poll put up by the BIS developers suggests that 67% of the community don't want Steam for ARMA and 13% are not sure.
