No, my point was, anybody who doesn't have an internet connection on their gaming computers will very likely resort to warez. I wonder how big the black games market will get after this brilliant piece of thinking.

how do you resort to warez without the interwebscreen? Warez is on the internet. Also, if you have a comp without an internet connection (not a temporary thing but like you actually dont have one) Then that's just kind of stupid, no?

Through friends, relatives, local dealers.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but here in Dutchieland there are multiple dealers per neighbourhood. Those download warez, burn em, and sell em for about 10 euros a piece, so both parties make a great profit out of it.
It's really really easy to get warez without interspace

I know plenty of college friends who don't have internet connections at home. I asked them if they were going to get HL2. The answer, inevitably, was "No, since you need an internet connection to register and play it, and I can't afford one/don't need one just to play one stupid game".

I think the requirement of an internet connection just to play offline was a pretty stupid move by Valve. It could only take a complete retard to come up with that idea.

Steam honestly isn't that bad anymore. Explain what you don't like instead of typing some random symbols.

 

[Ghost3021]

Steam is OK, but i would like it if they removed the reliance on the servers cause 5 years from now, when im trying to play my 2004 games with my pimpo-super computer, i wont be able to play cause the servers will be down or Valve could have gone out of business....you get my point. valve was ghey for making a NEED for an internet connection.

 

[icemanex]

well deadulus if you read my ive had enough read this post you would know

 

[Daedalus]

well deadulus if you read my ive had enough read this post you would know

...what did you just say? I honestly dont know.

And if Valve goes out of business, I'm sure the final thing they'll do is probably release versions of the games you can play without steam because if the company that HOSTS Steam servers doesn't exist anymore, then obviously Steam and the Steam Servers arent going to exist anymore.

MAJOR EDIT BOOYA!

hmm..i guess i wasnt thinking bout that....

edit: ok, this needs resurection. once again, BS has infiltrated the Comment Box. ok, i admit to contributing but im not the only one and i know it. so from now on, whever the urge to dump BS in the comment box is too great, we shall use THIS thread to dump it in. unless Daed or Parser gets pissed at my little idea and this thread gets sealed up and thrown down the river .
