Why would they fall? And yes people will pirate it simply because they can get it for free and would have otherwise payed for it, simply because they can get the same or a better experience for free. And then there are also those people who if piracy didn't exist buy games but somehow take pride in getting it illegally.

Just reconnected with a old friend via facebook. I haven't talked to her in 8 years, pretty crazy.

No, no it's not. I'm sorry, but not everyone is a "white hat pirate"(it's what I've dubbed pirates that pirate with reasons I find acceptable, for example because it is otherwise not available where you live or it costs a unreasonable amount like it seems to do in Australia). Most pirates really just pirate because they can't or don't want to pay money for the product.

But since it is DRM free you can pirate a GOG version of it and you get exactly the same of what you just mentioned. You cannot use any of Steam's benefits when pirating. Not that I dislike GOG(In fact it would be the first place to go when I want to buy an old game, I am actually still waiting for them to get System Shock 2 on there), but calling it a better anti-piracy measure than Steam just doesn't work because you get exactly the same benefits from pirating GOG versions as you would from buying them. Edit: Almost exactly.

Yeah GOG lets you play your games and do whatever you like with them. And it doesn't force you to use a client. But how is that offering a better service as opposed to piracy?

As far as I am aware GOG's services are not nearly as extensive as Steam's are.

I know that feel. I feel dirt when I reddit.

Which they won't.

No, but MLP comes out on a regular basis and for all we know it may just take another month before we see the next FM. And you can only talk about FM so much.

Exactly. But an optimist wouldn't call a pessimist stupid. He/she/it would call an pessimist smart, ergo a realist.

See an optimist would be optimistic and say a pessimist is really just really smart and has the situation analyzed and what he says is realistic.

A true optimist realizes that being anything but realistic is stupid and is ok with it.

Dude, I had like the same thing but with gameboys. While people were playing with their cool gameboys I was sitting in the corner crying. Good times, goood timessss.

Stay on topic, Alyxx.

No, an optimist would call a pessimist a realist.

Did you change your avatar twice in one day? o.o

I DIDN'T. I WAS ONLINE ON STEAM, SHUT DOWN STEAM, TURNED OFF MY PC, RIPPED THE INTERNET CORD OUT OF THE WALL, MADE COOKIES, BOOTED UP MY PC, TURNED ON STEAM, CLICKED ON THE "START IN OFFLINE MODE" BUTTON THAT WAS PRESENTED TO ME, STEAM LAUNCHED AND I LAUNCHED BIOSHOCK.

YES IT IS THAT IS WHAT I SHOWED YOU IN THE LAST PICTURE, SILLY. NOW HAVE A GOOD SLEEP! YES WE ARE, KI..oh sorry. Yes we are, kind of. We are discussing how whether or not something like Steam would work. Biggest problem being that not everyone with a console has it connected to the internet and this is where the offline mode comes into play.

WHY ARE WE USING CAPS? ALSO: ANY OTHER HOOPS YOU WANT ME TO JUMP THROUGH BEFORE YOU ADMIT I HAVE DISPROVEN YOU?

Dude, I unplugged my internet cable and THEN started Steam. Now unless I have wifi in my Desktop PC(which I don't), I have still disproven you.

That I can start Steam in Offline mode, start a singleplayer game and play said singleplayer game all without internet connection. Disproving:

You were saying?
