All this "New Crap" just annoys me and other gamers too -- like "swear filters" taking the fun out of modern games.

Games of all things should not be influenced by "the church" of modernity (but that's a detail that I could write entire essays about).

Quoting: SchattenspiegelWow... that is a study in how not to design a webpage.

Quoting: elmapulthat remind me of a thing...

pirating games on linux is harder, some times you have to do a bunch of steps on windows to crack an game, and the tutorials simply dont translate well to an linux enviroment.

i mean, i remember when i was trying to instal palib on linux, i dont remember if it had an linux version that i couldnt install or what, but installing on windows was already hard enough (you had to setup an enviroment variable, first time that i saw this term on an windows context), now imagine if i tried to install the windows version on linux back then...
google it "how to setup an windows variable on windows on linux"
or better "how to setup an windows enviroment variable on wine"

its an issue to specific and google might return 0 results, or tons of results for windows but only a few for linux if you dig deep enough, or maybe no one has ever tried.
now multiply that for every game you try to pirate.

regardless of what you think about piracy, this is an major issue that we have to solve if we want linux to become popular, most gamers dont purchase everything, many test drive the pirated version to know if its worth purchasing.

It's odd how long it has taken already for someone to pick up the formula, isn't it?

Quoting: PangaeaRe-selling more steam keys I see (at least for the games I checked). Not interested then.

They should do.....

Valve should.....
Valve need to....

You know what, I like Steam as it is because it works for me.

Quoting: Geppeto35Do you know games like CS:GO danger zone without this mass of cheaters?

All massively popular games have a lot of cheaters in them, sadly. They constantly ban accounts but more keep coming.

Does anyone have an explanation for this?

I just don't understand it.
Why play competitive games with cheats? If you win, you know you only won because of cheats. It's hollow.
And you don't even gain any money from it - I do understand grinding bot accounts for MMOs, someone's gotta farm that gold to sell online.
But maybe I'm just too much Klingon and Ferengi to get the point.
