How will you play games when Steam's monopoly crumbles and all "your" games disappear?

How will you play games when consoles crumble from old age and all "your" games disappear?

why are you posting this anti steam thread every day?

I don't really care. There still will be piracy, free games, and other hobbies.

Steamworks is an optional DRM and a paper thin one at that.
There is no mandatory hardware DRM component on PC.

Why do people say this about Steam and not EGS?

>>735269080
i will simply pirate the ones i bought on steam, and continue to play the ones i didn't buy on steam

I'll just play them from my computer using a Steam emulator.

Terabytes aren't that expensive only ram is, under $200 for a terabyte of data space. Its literally just a few paychecks away.

Nah. SSDs have the same component shortage as RAM, and good HDDs have also gone up massively in price.
>under $200 for a terabyte of data space. Its literally just a few paychecks away.
Yes, because that's actually insane and also basically nothing, price per TB has basically quadrupled.

The 360 is understandable as the Xbone can play almost every 360 game worth a damn. OG Xbox BC is ass and he absolutely should have one, but I doubt the original Xbox fits in those slots.

Probably just pick up my other hobbies again like Photography or Music, if Steam ever does actually go down shit will probably have hit the fan anyway and my interest in vidya degrades with each passing day as it is.

No, I'll play on PC where I can play everything I ever want through pirating and emulation.

>all those consoles
>not a single one is plugged in
>all purely there for decoration
retro resellers are more respectable than this balding performative reddittor.

There's never been a good thread here with Steam in the OP so I'm now going to add Steam to my /v/ OP filter list. I just thought you'd like to know. Thanks for reading and goodbye.
>>
>>735272294
The problem is that underage faggots who are born with steam don't even know what gaming was like before it and actually think that steam cancer is something normal.

I'm pretty sure if my steam games "disappear" I have bigger things to worry about, like getting my lunch in the bomb shelter I'm stuck in.

I love how the newer consoles are on the bottom. "Yes, know your place trash!" kek

Are you naive enough to think gaben will head that company forever? That his replacement won't immediately sell you tards out?

Steam is just xbox one with better marketing.

The only underage faggot here is you
PC gaming before steam fucking sucked unless you were like 8 years old and didn't care what you were playing or how as long as there were moving pictures on screen

>On disk DRM that's effectively malware
>Actual malware distributed through the disks you bought at the store
>Reliance on pieces of shit like gamespy or hamachi for multiplayer, spend more time debugging direct connections to friends than actually playing on any given game night
>Game discoverability basically non existent outside of word of mouth unless you buy some faggot magazine written by cringeworthy teenagers with what would today be considered tumblr humor.
>Patching nightmares. You have 1.0.0 and the developers only host 1.0.2 on their website? Too bad. Better hope some friend has 1.0.1 still saved somewhere otherwise your game is bricked.
>No game updates at all in many cases. There's a glitch that prevents entire game mechanics from working or breaks game balance or makes areas inaccesible? Tough shit, it's that way forever unless you beg the developer personally mail you a disk with a fix somehow.

Because people have big libraries on Steam that they've spent thousands of dollars to build over several years. Meanwhile EGS is just the Fortnite launcher. Some autists like me might also have a big collection of freebies, but losing something you didn't pay for wouldn't sting anywhere near as much.
>>
>>735276464
>>PS1 with no Dualshock
Nigger, nothing there is plugged in, except maybe his ps triple, or given how the guy looks, probably switch.
>>
>>735269080
Same as I have my entire life. By torrenting.

I prefer Rocket League. The games don't last as long.

Switch 2

>>735276724
Why would you do that? I have 18 consoles connected but I keep them hidden because while I want to play with them they aren't exactly decorative elements.
>>
>>735277238
>Doesn't make a huge arcade cabinet style set up just to hide consoles inside that are all connected.
DUDE! that would be sick.
>>
>>735277329
How will you hide the out-of-place arcade cabinet then?
>>
>>735269080
ill just go do something else
maybe humanity will heal
