I'm not against Steam; as I said before, I do like it for games by developers that I trust and admire (and to the extent that I believe in Steam's viability, which I do. Until I hear otherwise).
I do stand by the drawbacks that I mentioned in my previous posts, though. I also disparage those who dismiss a debate because they are personally convinced. OP asked for pros and cons about Steam vs. Download and the things that we have discussed here will still be "discussable" in 2029. |
Other than automatic updates (which can be set to only on game launch - if you feel the need to check for issues beforehand), there is practically no difference between the standalone and Steam. People on here talk about Steam like a boogeyman, when in actuality it has almost single handedly revolutionized the PC gaming industry. Talk of it's viability and "renting" games is ridiculous, you're far more likely to have future issues with essellerate (which also has to be installed on your pc) than Steam licenses.
