Question on Steam...
... looking for perspective from you gamers out there. And yes, I know you're there
My son's now 12 and gotten into playing games on Steam. I don't make a huge fuss about it because he uses a different machine than I do (and coincidentally, every machine he plays on is having crash issues... but I digress...). However, my reasons for not liking Steam are... nebulous, at best. As in "I think some gamers I know don't like it, for reasons that escape me, and are probably pretty legit". Not exactly a position I can defend easily, is it? So.... those of you who've said "No way!" to Steam.... why?

Re: Question on Steam...
Personally I distrust steam. No real reason, I'm just a control freak at heart.
There doesn't seem to be any point in opposing it. Skyrim needs a stream connection and seems none the worse for it. I don't doubt other games do as well or will follow soon. I will go with the flow so long as no-one makes steam an excuse for adding extra charges. |

Re: Question on Steam...
i find steam very useful in that theres almost always some sort of sale going on.
Problem with steam is that you cannot chose a specific location on your drive for each game - they all go in the same spot. Which can be a problem if your disc isnt big enough on that drive. Other than that, there is the what if steam goes away, and then will i be able to play any of the games i bought possibility. |
