darthspudius: It's not rubbish. It's been quite decent to me so far. I'm not going to jump onto the "clients are bad" band wagon without atleast trying them.
nightcraw1er.488: Personally, I look at it the other way. I'm not going to jump onto the "lets instal any bit of software available" bandwagon before its been proven to be a) secure, b) reliable, and c) of any actual benefit. How often on the news do we hear the headline "wow there's this new cool app where you can upload naked pictures of oneself...". The internet is bad, very bad, and should be treated like dirty pants found on the driveway on a Sunday morning. And I also really don't like all the social rubbish which goes along with such things (even though I am aware you can turn these off).
Oh, and I am sure it will become more "optional" as time goes on anyways.
That is a problem that has been around since the internet was born. Sounds like you're simply paranoid.
darthspudius: Now THIS is nit picking. My install automatically downloaded galaxy, that is just as bad I'd say. At some point you people will have to accept the fact that Steam has DRM games and that making up excuses doesn't mean that it is not true.
Hecke: Well, Steams way is a little bit intransparent, I don't see a simple and obvious way to check if games there are using DRM or not. Recently this problem was partially solved (this banner at the right sight of the store page), but as far as I remember not every game is "perfectly" declared.
And before anyone bashes me: My Steam account currently lists around 400 games, so no, I don't hate Steam, but I stopped buying games there.
Edit: Oh the Orthography.
and using Galaxy is any different?!
