you can turn urine into a gel. then you simply create a pile out of the gel. it is a small pile, but it represents steam and therefore should be kicked.

Steam is kind of like Bush's "patriot" act. It further leads humanity towards the situation presented in 1984.

You fail to even comprehend or recognize my point. You are un-fit for life, and you should ask your mother if it is possible to abort your ass. I dont even need to explain the post I made, it is self-explanatory.

Just in case you dont know yet, STEAM is sending all your system informations such as what kind of CPU you are using, how many memory you have, what kind of internet browser you are using and more...all straight to Valve...This is, as the law books called, "invasion of privacy"...so yes STEAM is like "Big Brother" so next time, before you start calling people hippies hook up on PCP maybe you should try a little search on the subject to prevent to make an ass of yourself like you just did.

You just dont get it do you? Are you blind? Ignorent? Or just plain ol' fashioned stupid. Look at my previous posts regarding this. Also look at the new quote I placed into my signature. Lets hope you learn something today. We are not here because it is working "bad" for us, we are here because the thing spys on you, and promotes the ideas which the novel 1984 is about.

I also find it very ironic that the game HL2 is like the story 1984 is a sense, yet the thing which you are forced to use to play HL2, is steam.

Be my fucking guest and use steam. Who cares about the fact that everytime you use it is snooping your computer, and sending information back to valve. Who cares that it is the begining of something even more horrible. As I said before, in I think this thread, or another.

You sir, are un-fit for life, and you should ask your mother if it is not to late to abort your ass.

I also love how you say there are more "important" issues. Good plan assclown. Lets just wait till this issue with steam, turns into a more "important" issue.

That doesn't change the fact that it restricts your rights to the product you have purchased BIG TIME. You can't re-sell the product, and Valve can discontinue your right to play the game you purchased if they feel you have done something they don't like (like playing warez-games for example). When you add all the spywaresque features and problems (that MANY people have experienced) Steam has to this I can't see why anyone would prefer having Steam when it really doesn't do any good to anyone except Valve of course. I for one will never buy a game that requires Steam. If Steam is the future of gaming I guess I won't be playing games in the future.

EDIT: And it doesn't have anything to do with being a kid or not if one is smart enough to see that the cons of Steam outweigh the pros (are there any?) by miles. When you have 10 Steam-like programs for different games saying Connection time-out or something else as funky maybe you will understand why it might have been important that people oppose this kind of behavior from developers before it's too late.

I find this sentence very ironic coming from someone with your sig.

Not everyone sold his or her soul to play with STEAM, some people payed 50 euro and got everything like they should and are happy with what they have. Not everyone had the so called "rape" or whatever you have experienced which makes you hate STEAM so much, not everyone got his 100+ euro account banned, not everyone got fucked over. STEAM works for me, it works for alot of other people, and for some people it doesn't work these people have the right to complain, but if STEAM works for you like it should, and you like it, i don't see where all the hate comes from.

That may be the other peoples arguement, but my arguement is, even if steam is working fine for, you are still being gang banged without your say so. When you clicked the I Agree button to install steam, you agreed to let steam spy on anything that is on your computer. THAT is what im bitching about, and im bitching for a good reason. Regardless if steam works fine for you or not, you are being anal raped every time you use it.

Steam

Pros
1.) No need for CD's or CD Keys
2.) Updating system FAR superior to old way of trying to find an update on a working server, most of which failed half way through, or went 1k/s the whole time.
3.) Convenience of purchasing the game without leaving home, and great speeds (I got around 1 meg/s, maybe a little more Very Happy)
4.) Does a relatively excellent job at preventing piracy (there are almost *no* average users who can download the "warez" version, only experienced computer users)

Cons
1.) You have to use it to play the games
2.) You can't "resell" the product.. WRONG to a certain extent. you can sell your steam account.
3.) You can get banned for playing a "warez" version of the game. You sir, are a complete and utter idiot. If you try to play a warezed version of a game that requires authentication and you get banned, it's your fault for being the retard.
4.) Steam sends back arbitrary information. If you are afraid they're going to find out what kind of computer parts you have, then you have mental issues. They want to know what demographic plays their games so they can develop better games and compatability. again... %@*&% retard. PS there's a big difference between being anal raped and having a small amount of information on your system sent back to valve, I'm pretty sure you know the difference, seeing that you've experienced both.

What the hell are you rabid anti steam people trying to prove anyways? if you don't like it, deprive yourself of the pleasure of playing it, be a retard, and don't post about it. Thanks for your time. Not.

Oh ok, since its ok for them to send back this information, lets not care. Then in a few years when they start sending more personal info, lets not care. You are a fucking moron, one thing always leads to another thing. I allready owned you once, now shut up.

This might be a pro if it meant that games bought from Steam were cheaper. But they're not. And I personally like having the CD/DVD on me as well as the CD-key.

Quote:

I don't think it's superior at all. I have never had any problems with finding updates. With Steam it is a real hassle to uninstall/re-install a game because you have to download the patches again from Steam and that sucks.

Quote:

4.) Does a relatively excellent job at preventing piracy (there are almost *no* average users who can download the "warez" version, only experienced computer users)


That argument is just not true. CSS worked online on every server for a long time, CD-key protected games never work online. There is also a very proper release out of HL2, that the so-called "average" user can get to work too.

Quote:

2.) You can't "resell" the product.. WRONG to a certain extent. you can sell your steam account.


You can NOT sell your Steam account, according to Steam EULA. If Valve catches someone selling their Steam account they will BAN it. It has happened many times already.

I don't get this pro-Steam movement at all. No need to start calling people retards because of their opinions. I think this issue deserves a discussion and that is why I post about it.

Oh, not to mention that it says no where on the box for the old HL based games, that you would have to use a constrictive service like steam to be able to play online with the most recently updated version.

Neither does it say that with the HL2 based game boxes either.


This is my biggest beef right here. They are running circles around the EULA (which you cant even view until you open the box, at which point most stores wont even let you return the game), and modifying it to insanity.

In fact I still don't see how it was legal for them to "disable" steam accounts which were "thought" to have pirated HL2, which also had legal versions of HL based games on the account.

I dont see the legalilty on that at all. They (without any trial, or any notification, or anything) shutdown thousands of accounts which were presumed to be involved in pirate activities. I know that myself, I not once even have used a crack or pirate version of valve games. Yet why was my account banned? It was banned because when I went to enter my credit card info into their gay system to buy HL2, the damn system wasnt working. And after entering my info more then 2 times because the fucking steam service was down, the next morning when I wake up, my account is disabled for credit card fraud.

Give me a fucking break. What fuckers. I goto buy their game, direct from them, and their service is down, then since there was a problem, I have to take the blame.

Not to mention I allready had over 100 dollars of LEGAL HL software on that account.

What do I get when I try emailing valve, or calling them, or anything.

NOTHING, absolutely NOTHING.

Then 3 months later through their gay support area, I finally get a reply saying that my account was disabled due to violation of the EULA.

Fuckers. I will never buy their software again.
