realistically is there a way to backup your steam games without needing the client to restore it later?
>>
>>719668897
Some games can have the drm removed by removing the steamdll from the games folder
Other games require cracks to remove drm

gog isn't much better either. they have a launcher too, and they also sell the same propaganda games as steam and also have homo celebrations, etc.

cope pclard
most games are playable 100% offline with ZERO downloads required
>>
>>719668697
Same thing for physical, although I'll likely have my "digital licenses" than you will have your "physical licenses". Enjoy your disc rot!

100% of my games on Steam launch offline. I have 761 games too. Some like MMOs obviously require internet to connect to the servers but anything that doesn't require online connections to play like an MMO is perfectly playable in offline mode. Also a lot of online games run in offline mode fine which is how my wife and I am able to play 1 copy of a game with my wife in co-op. One of us goes into offline mode and we both launch the same game that only one of us has purchased and we join an co-op lobby together. Works on 90% of our online co-op games, even shit like Rogue Trader.
Also not the person you're replying to. But on Goystation or Xjew I'd have to purchase 2 copies to do the same.

I still can install and play games I purchased 10 years ago, even the ones that got removed from store like base DMC4

And what the fuck do I do with it when it just breaks in 150-200 years because it wasn't designed to last forever? Physical media is a scam with built-in deterioration, meanwhile your games on steam servers will last forever because they're digital

not owning anything feels kinda good actually

you won't be alive when that happens, if kept properly they will outlive your kids and the kids of your kids

good goy!

You don't own any games unless you own the copyrights to them and I doubt you do
>>
>>719670893
Yeah, and you can on the wii still too. Nothing special.
>>
>>719670203
I bought physical until I couldn't. Why does this argument keep coming up? Voting with your wallet isn't really voting

>worse launcher
>no games

It's pretty embarrassing that Steam is the only place that does maintenance like this and goes down for a couple hours every Tuesday.
>>
>>719670203
Imagine in 2025, taking an hour to install a game off 2 discs (after finding your CD key to enter), then downloading the latest update (if you're lucky, they do cumulative updates instead of incremental ones) and applying it.
Or you could download it already fully patched in 15 minutes.
>>
>>719669045
>Launcher
Purely optional, they don't force you to use it
>Same propaganda games
They have a lot of games from the 90s and 2000s before the games were pozzed by tranny shit
