The biggest problem I see with audiosurf...
« on: February 18, 2008, 07:03:53 pm »
Steam.

Steam is trash.  I don't want some anti-piracy software tied into every game I own.  I was going to buy audiosurf the day it came out.  Not anymore.  When I buy a product, my business with the manufacturer is over as soon as the charge hits my credit card.  I don't need them looking over my shoulder every time I use it like I'm some kind of criminal.  And guess what?  Steam isn't doing it's job because I'm already seeing audiosurf on a bunch of different warez sources.  Steam is for morbidly obese 13 year old noobs who are willing to swill down whatever messy diarrhea drips from the prolapsed anus of corporate giants.  You shovel down whatever they feed you because you don't know any better.  Steam is all about locking you down, monitoring you, and squeezing every last cent out of people who are honest enough to pay for a game in the first place.  Wake up and get your dignity back. Dust off the dorrito crumbs and stop letting yourselves be treated like criminals.

Soooo you dislike steam because it tries to prevent piracy, and you're against trying to prevent piracy?
I was under the impression steam was meant as a distribution platform, where lots of developers can come together and release their games through it to be noticed.
If audiosurf wasnt released on steam i dont think it would have gotten anywhere near as many peopel buying it just because they would never have heard of it

although I hate to dignify your post with a response, steam is an amazing hunk of software.

The bonuses of using steam to manage your games:
  • Never lose your CDs - Can re-download the game online anytime
  • Never have to track your CD Keys - lose your CD case? Don't have a key to reinstall anymore? Use steam
  • Chat in game - chatting without tabbing(which is often long and sometimes you can't tab back in)
  • Don't have to go to the store - I can purchase and support the developers from my own home
  • Play on multiple computers - Buy a new computer? Just download steam and your games come with you
  • Chance for the little guy - There are some excellent small games that get the audience they need through steam (you can find some excellent little gems)

If you have a problem with steam, then why are you posting about it on the Audiosurf forum???
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
