it's a complete joke. why should i pay for an over priced pc game only to be tied to a frequently unreliable 3rd party program drm. steam is great for indy games that you normally wouldn't have access to, but i'm so pissed off how people like me with crap internet connections constantly get shafted. steam has always been a buggy mess ever since they forced me to use ot to play cs 1.6 and i hated the piece of s*** ever since. any kind of drm is terrible and any game that makes me use steam will get pirated. it's that simple. You're allowed to have a rant, but please be aware that the nexus family of sites does not condone, nor support piracy. So lets leave that subject alone, shall we? http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/293557-piracy-and-you/ I'd rather not see anybody get into any trouble here, ok? -DarkeWolf, Nexus Staff.
