    I don’t pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.

    Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.

    But, since it isn’t and never will be, it’s a yo ho ho from me.

    (Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)

      Until you think it might be fun to play 2 games on 2 different monitors on 2 computers at the same time. Then you realise, Steam games are not treated as just software. 1 of the many reasons I prefer to pay the price for GoG despite Steam being significantly cheaper due to regional pricing.

        No idea what you’re talking about; I’ve played two games from steam plenty of times while waiting for something in a game.

          Hmm. I remember steam saying it can’t run a game because the same account was using a game on another PC. Maybe something changed since then. I’ll check it out again. Thanks for the info.
