cyberchief.979: Why are you guys bashing Steam so much? I use both it and GOG, so why the hate?
Because the world is so much easier if you can figure out a way to make it "us vs. them" and easier is clearly better.

1. Because it locks us into content updates that remove content or introduce product placement, and other annoying stuff like that. This stuff is baleful, and it can't be rolled back.

2. Game developers are now at liberty to stop us from launching our games, on a whim, if they want. The dev tells Valve that someone is 'disruptive' (which is a vague enough term to encompass things like protesting about paid mods), and Valve presumably then take their word for it.

3. If changes are made to the Steam EULA, and we don't agree, then our only recourse is never to launch our Steam games again.

Valve have shown their true colours in trying to push paid mods on us. I don't trust them anymore. I don't want a corporation to have a say in whether I can launch my game or not. My new stance: DRM-free or nothing.

To be fair, he said he tries not to post anymore. He never claimed to succeed 100% of the time.

Do you have to catch your breath every few seconds in that?

Like the problem of no one giving them to you?

While the topic choice is one that, in the past, has certainly been able to work GOG members into heated arguments, it's become highly overdone at this point and no longer carries the impact it used to. Combined with the use of an account known to many for past trolling and bad behavior, the entire attempt is simply too obvious to take seriously.

3/10. Troll harder.
