Quoting: LeopardThey just don't want to pay,that's all.They're not giving a single shit besides that.
While I can't follow throgh's arguments, yours are worse. Just accept that he wants it for the sake of having a freedom without the purpose of actually abusing it.

Not in my Steam client.
Holy crap you're right, the option was removed.
Wanted to look where the option is to show him - didn't find it either.

Quoting: GuestI would also prefer if Feral and others (Aspyr, Croteam…) made DRM-free releases on DRM-free platforms, because with Steam a tiny change by Valve can mean I don’t have access to my games anymore. Tomb Raider stopped working here, but I have no idea if it’s because of a game update (that are impossible to prevent with Steam), a Steam client update, or a system update.
Then again, the later could happen with a DRM free download as well. If there's an update, Steam would automatically install it for you, while for a DRM free download, you would need to do yourself. If there's an update, that is (applies to both ways obviously).

Quoting: throghNot a single release of those is available without Steam or DRM in general.
Or I have old information? Making my concurrent Linux-distribution to another closed system with dongled services? No thanks!
One of the big releases lately has been reported to be not copy protected at all, while the Windows version had Denuvo. (Can't remember which game it was). Don't know about others. Or are you opposed to Steam as payment and download portal in the first place and don't care if there's actual DRM?

Quoting: EikeAbout the size of disks: I really wonder how many games you've installed simultaneously...! My games sit on my oldest SSD, 80 GB..
Even a single game nowadays can be 40gb, do you only have the games you're currently playing installed?
I've got installed a selection of games I'm playing or might play in near future:

3,9G CAYNE
3,5G Crookz
2,6G Day of the Tentacle Remastered
11G DiRT Showdown
9,7G Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition
2,8G Duke Grabowski, Mighty Swashbuckler
1,8G Infinifactory
855M Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
164M One Night Stand
1,9G PapoYo
4,3G rocketleague
2,7G Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun Demo
7,1G Silence
2,4G Steamroll
11G Tomb Raider
70M World of Goo

Most games do not take dozens of GB.
And don't get me started on counting how many hundreds of hours these might take...

Quoting: chrisqI have ALL games installed simultaneously (1000+), it's nice to be able to play anything without waiting for the install.
Aren't there lots of games you don't wont to play anymore, either because you didn't like them, or because you're just through with them (which might mean one or lots of playthroughs, depending on you and the game)?

Quoting: KimyrielleHonestly, the probably biggest application of Civ multiplayer is LAN, and chances are that computers in the same use the same OS, no?
... and the biggest application of Civ isn't multiplayer to begin with.
