True. But steam’s DRM is trivial. So if you downloaded your games and steam goes dark, you can easily “crack” them. I often do this to circumvent the 2hr refund window and test longer. As many games try to keep you entertained for at least 2hrs 😁
“Test longer”
You can just say you pirate games mate.
I buy if I like. I won’t if I don’t. My library is already too big, that loading it takes ages.
I pirate movies and series though. Without exception AND for convenience.
Large steam libraries don’t “take ages” to load lol Source: large steam library.
Obviously not large enough :-) Try taking a look at your playtime-list. Maybe they changed something, i dunno, i stopped checking long ago.
Sure, but then why pay for them at all, unless you really want to support the devs?
It being legal and convenient is the improved service that can help reduce piracy.
Paying is up to the user of course. It was just meant as a “it’s not as bad as others in DRM”. Also you could have hundreds of games for 0,- there, too.
For me it was indeed the convenience. I was pirate since the 80s but steam gave a reason to just buy. Be it updates, workshop, community all around a game, news for that etc.
