I wish I didn't buy DS1 on Steam($4.99). Should have waited and got the slightly worse PS3 version with no GFWL or online check in fun.
Granted it's not entirely their fault and Valve does make some great games(Counterstrike).
I'll take a hard copy of DS2 after my experience with DS1's PC DRM, thanks.
I don't care about the "but they fixed blah blah blah" either.
It's nice to have options.
Maybe he's been polishing his crystal ball.
I still like to think that he uses one of those Magic 8 Balls to figure most things out. I can see why he would want to.
Me too but I purchased most of my games on GOG.
I bought a game on Steam that didn't work like it was supposed to. After hearing that, unlike GOG, they don't give refunds, I contacted support, which in itself was very annoying. I got an automated response back with no real help. No refund etc.
I've heard stories of people lozing access to dozens of their Steam games because of certain employees but I can't confirm this because I haven't witnessed it personally.
Steam is great for multiplayer,etc. It is great in many ways but I don't like some of the DRM and the customer service is terrible.
Good thing I recognize that there are many different places to buy games. GOG for great DRM-free goodness, physical copies for my game collection, Steam for my multiplayer(and the occasional sale), etc.
I don't see why people get stuck on one particular platform unless there is good reason to be.
I'm a certified personal trainer, etc.. Working out improves the quality of my other studies and maybe even enhances my enjoyment of games.
It took a bit of practice to be able to juggle everything but it's very rewarding.
One caveat. It can be challenging at times, but it is easier now because I have Counter Strike uninstalled for the time being. For now I'm staying away from games that I can't turn off when I need to do something else. Like FromTheAs...
Looks like my next processor will be made by someone else.
A mode with no/limited health regen and health packs.

That's okay. Many of us have PCs also.
I'll be playing Bloodborne on PS4 though(of course).
...and most of my best PC games aren't graphically demanding anyway.
@ lfc:
You sound like one of those know-it-alls who thought the stove would go away after the advent of the microwave.
Exactly. I still have my PS2.
I feel the same way but about Bloodborne. Plus my PS2 ect. aren't going anywhere.
I think some of the assumptions you are making are "just silly".
No, but MAYBE if it was a multi-player only game.
That's funny, considering I will even less games from them now.
I'll make sure I stay on my mostly GOG diet for PC games.
EA isn't in the mood to lose millions in sales.
I agreed when she said that she wasn't into video games. It was around the time when she pretended that she was into/understood video games.
Whenever that was :D
Edit:
She seems to be a con artist mixelon, no matter what she is masquerading as.
I've heard this kind of sensationalist nonsense before, but simple business principles paint a different picture.
The ps4 is breaking sales records and Xb1 is doing well also.
This means that there is a HIGH DEMAND for dedicated gaming consoles "as we know them".
Anyone can tell you that it would be foolish to abandon something so potentially profitable.
If anything, it will be more incremental, since we have seen what kind of backlash can ensue w...
