JimboUK Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 My local EB games was the site of a major uprising recently. They got a whole PC games wall now. And I wouldnt have a problem with steam, if it was an OPTIONAL service. Something like 'We have discovered that you either do not have an internet connection, or you are offline. Would you like to opt out of the Steam Service for this game?' in a Yes/Cancel box.See, because not everyone has an internet connection on the computer they play games on. Shock and horror amirite? Nothing like that here and when you do find some stock the prices are idiotic. I agree Steam should be optional on these titles, maybe have authorising through Steam remove Suckurom or whatever hellish DRM they use instead.

Fatalmasterpiece Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Reminds me of the early days of Vista or when they started upping security on Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player has noticed you are trying to play a cd we've never heard of because it's a underground band, we will attempt to download a license for this content, license not found, we're sorry we cannot play the media file.

urbex Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah, but you really shouldn't be using WMP in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
