I see you didn't even readed whole article above, there was asked question about piracy -_-

a lot of games REQUIRE steam to even run it, your argument is invalid.

Please, peoples sticked "dumb" give me arguments I'm wrong.

first point, read about new terms of use they changed and what that means for players.

just one link link

Second, piracy is still growing with every next year, soon, when 3d printers will be more complicated and cheeper so it will be available for anyone, risk of "piracing" real things is very high, even now you can download models to print.

First Valve doesn't force you to use their services. Is not a monopoly, there are a lot of plataforms where you can buy games online. For example: GreenmanGaming, who gives you the chance to sell the products that you've purchased in their store; other examples would be Good Old Games (GOG), Direct2Drive (D2D), Gamestop Impulse, Gamersgate and of course Origin and Games for Windows – Live. If you don't happy with Steam and their terms, you can choose other plataform for buy games.

Second, Valve is not doing this on its own initiative or to combat piracy, they make it for the demand of their customers (us). So your argument about piracy is irrelevant.

For some reason i was thinking about this:(Exept dod)HL1,2 expanson packs,CS. On the second generation of valve game (He are here). (Exempt portal,portal 2,dota 2,DOD:S)CS:S,HL2,2 expanson packs,(Most recent games here),CS:GO,(HL3?)

Awesome! As always Valve does, they listen to his customers. :D

Except when the next Half Life is involved.

Yeah except for that hehe Well actually we can't know if they hear about that 'cause they don't say anything about it. I mean maybe are developing Half-Life 3 or maybe not.

Suuuuurree, as they changed "a bit" terms of use few days before, and if you won't agree with new terms your account will be deleted and everything you had on it will easly disapear, just gone.

And now they want to add softwares. Ok... SCUMBAG STEAM - you buy 3ds max for 3,500$ and without accepting terms of use you can say goodbye with your freshly bought 3ds max. (for example)

NO WAY ! GABE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE !

"Is this the next big thing to counter software piracy?" These means nothing to piracy, There was, there is and there will be piracy, nothing will change that thing, even most compicated DRM's

Steam is a bitch, I probably should have read the TOS last time it was shown to me, I just assumed it was one of those "We rub your face with this every now and again because we feel like it" things, I just spam the agree button anytime the scroll bar is so small you can't see the little lines in the middle of it. Something tells me, steam will probably close down in 4 years or so when Gabe dies of a heartass attack.
