It's cool that someone is stepping in to put an end to the Steam malware. I'm probably not going back to PC anyway.

How many alts do you have? Troll...
Don't make me write the story again. I've explained to countless people over the years. The cliffnotes version is I installed the game from a disc, unaware of the disease it was DL'ing. It blocked me from playing, forced an update that broke the game, constantly phoned home and hogged resources, it was just not good.
Hell no.
if you like videogames
you can support developers by using their interface, it's not a big deal
TLDR He's upset that games use DRM

Who wouldn't be? DRM is nothing more than a means of locking people away from content they've purchased. And all I did was try to play while the internet was down. So yeah through their own poor design Steam taught us they cannot be trusted.

you should have clicked offline mode then
the whole complaint against it is dumb

my only gripe is the shopping cart and it not having a big picture mode to use controllers with it
Doesn't exist.

Like Mead said. Jim Sterling tore through the Epic store an how it has a "roadmap" to have even the most basic functions, like a fucking shopping cart

Lol dude I know you can play most steam games offline. I would know, I spent nine months playing games with my gaming PC up in the mountains with no internet connection. The rules to play them offline are simple. One, you have to have booted up that game once before with internet. Two, the developer needs to not require internet to play their game. I think in the nine months I spent without internet the only game I couldn't boot up were call of duty games and maybe one or two more out of like 100+ games. Then probably several months in I needed to borrow someone's cellular hotspot once to boot steam.

Objectively false.

I took it to be him whining he bought a physical game from a store that required steam and didn't have internet which honestly is relatively uncommon situation to be in.
But yea steam has an offline mode and doesn't do any of the shit like Ubisoft was putting into their games before steam started taking over.
You're wrong, thanks for trying.
our statement that offline mode doesn't exist is objectively false.

I literally enabled offline mode last night. No issues playing the games I wanted to play. Ergo, your statement that offline mode doesn't exist is objectively false. You're welcome to try proving me wrong, but I know you won't be able to.
Already did.
HL2 doesn't work offline so whatever you think you're doing, that's not it.

Again, objectively false.

Well now you're just moving the goalposts. "HL2 doesn't work offline" is a very different statement from "offline mode doesn't exist." No less objectively false, but a very different statement, and much less likely to be proven false by random personal interest tests (since most people aren't exactly playing HL2 in 2019).
Why are you guys even bothering?

HL2 was what I played and indeed an offline mode is not present.

I did buy the disc. I had internet but like I said broadband was new in the area at the time and they were still working out the kinks. Who knew what Steam was back then? Lots of games needed side software, be it Direct X, Gamespy, whatever. You figure 'meh, as long as the game works I can remove it when I'm done'. There was no way to know the harm that was being unleashed. Literally it was the first time I couldn't play a game outside of a power outage. Only took a little while to discover Steam was the source of my trouble and thankfully it didn't spread to my other games like UT, Quake, Worms, etc.

If steam is malware how is epic not?
For starters Epic is a dev and I was a fan of UT. Whatever their service is called, I didn't say it wasn't malware. For what it's worth EA has their digital store too and I wouldn't trust that either.
I've always said it's not trolling if I'm right.
For starters Epic is a dev
Epic is temporarily locking accounts who purchase too many games for "suspicious behavior."
Maybe it wouldn't happen if they had a fucking shopping cart.
Why open a store and go so hard trying to compete when they don't even have basic features?
