Re: A new audio game from a new developer - Dark Passenger
Maybe spyware isn't quite right, although it does report to Valve everytime you play a Steam game. Probably it would be more accurate to call it a DRM system that requires an always on internet connection so it can verify your license everytime you run a Steam game.
I used to use Steam before I lost my vision, but quit when I discovered that the Steam version of most games had way more problems than the non Steam versions did.
I hear many people complain about DRM and how they have problems with it, I guess you could say Steam is a good example of that, since it is, first and foremost, a DRM system.
At the end of the day, I concluded that Steam doesn't offer anything to me that out weighed its disadvantages.
I play games to have fun, the last thing I need is to have to wrestle with an inaccessible piece of DRM just to play a game.
The dropbox downloads that don't need Steam are only demos, at present, if I wanted to play the whole game, I'd have to buy it through Steam.
(After being called a troll by Jade because he doesn't agree with my opinions of Steam, I edited my original post.)
