I am 51 and have been on Steam for 8 years. I just checked and it says I own 264 games so I guess you can say that I fully trust Steam.

However I don't use it for ootp because in past years only the 32bit version was available in steam and I want the 64bit version so I can take advantage of my 16G of RAM. Not sure why steam was limited to the 32ver since I have plenty of other games that are 64 on steam.

I also really enjoy using steam to send games to my kids, including OOTP

While 64bit may give you access to 16g RAM, there isn't a game made today that will use even 8g, so 16 is pointless "for gaming" But you'd certainly want more than you need as opposed to not enough.

now back on topic: I use steam for many games, but OOTP isn't one of them. Just never had any good reason to worry about a steam key for OOTP

Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.

Overall Steam provides benefits to the game makers/producers but not to the consumers/players.
In the 8 years I've never had a problem and I own over 250 games.
It's on you're end dude.

How can you take six years and 68 million dollars and make something this mediocre?

Maybe I should be ashamed of this but I liked Watch Dogs.


Of course I don't think I had fallen victim to the hype machine prior to playing it.

I have no problems with Windows 10 and love it. As for Steam I used it some a couple years ago because I was not given an option. I hate it and won't play anything that makes me go there so they can have some of the profit. I would rather the developer have all the profit.
