You could never sell off most PC games before steam because they normally had a CD key or something like that that made it so you couldn't just sell it off to other people. On steam you will always have the game, if Valve ever goes bust then all of your games will be free of any DRM (not like thees much anyway). Offline mode never goes online without you knowing because it is offline mode, its for people who have frequent downtime with their internet or are travelling. Comparing Steam to Xbox Live is like comparing a dogs dinner with a gourmet meal, Steam doesn't make you pay for online and most of the DLC on there is free, Xbox live doesnt have deals where games go down by 75% off, Steam gives you automatic updates and a place to keep all your games and free things! Also, there is no possible way to sell something that isn't real because then that would increase piracy by a lot, and on steam you do OWN the game; Valve will never take your game away for no reason. You people should stop thinking that Valve is some sort of evil corparation that just wants your money, Steam is just a place where you keep your games and unlike Origin there is no stupid terms that spy on you when youre not knowing.screwvalve said:Try selling off the steam games you own on steam, like you could do with boxed retail games, regardless of whether you would sell them or not. You cant, since you dont own them, you're just given a privilege to play them. You can chat with your friends without Steam, you dont need it to do that, there's plenty of free IM clients/overlays that let you do that. Steam is like the Xbox Live because it's a closed off gated infrastructure, from which you launch, update, and uninstall your games, like the xbox live on the consoles. And no, offline mode likes to go online without you telling it. There's no such thing as one-time activation only on steam. I'm not trolling. I do agree with you on CliffyB being a major douche.ToastiestZombie said:Your username is ScrewValve, really REALLY! How can you call steam a rental service, and say its turned into an xbox live. All it does is let you download games and let you chat with friends cross game there is nothing much to hate about it. You are seriously coming off as a troll. *hits report button*
OT: I would say Cliffy B, he just seems to bring the whole of gaming down with everything he says. Thinking PC gaming is for babies and saying people who gave gears 3 an 8 "haters".
PS: Calling yourself ScrewValve and then making hateful comments towards them is what made you seem like a troll.
