Dwight Darkmoon Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) 2 months ago my internet connection was down for about 3 hours, my isp was doing repairs and upgrades on their network. Guess what, i couldn't play any of my steam games. I was a big fan of steam up to that moment. I also bought a game that was broken and i couldn't get my money back. I discovered that steam is hiding behind a bullet proof TOS and every time you buy a game from steam you forfeit your right to a good product. Good or bad your money is gone. That is wrong in a modern society. If i could play my games offline and have the opportunity to get my money back for bad/broken games i would absolutely be steam's biggest fan.

FoolyFooly Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 For the millionth time, just put Steam into offline mode. YOU DO NOT NEED AN INTERNET CONNECTION PAST THE INITIAL VERIFICATION. Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTwisted Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I recommend running Steam in offline mode at all times, except when you want new games or updates. That way, if your network or Steam is down you can still play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight Darkmoon Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I just gave the offline mode another try. Works perfectly on my PC now. I wish it had 2 months ago when i needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmillar Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Piracy protection is completely retarded. It is impossible to stop people from cracking a single-player game. Only games like World of Warcraft where you have to login will ever be safe from piracy (unless you count private servers). Anti-piracy measures ONLY affect people who buy the game.
