Convenience of purchase or convenience of ownership/control? I am refusing to use Steam since I cannot be sure that I will be able to play when and however I like. In fact, I can be sure that at some point I would not be able to play my games because I lost internet access and Steam does not let me play (do not reply with "there is offline mode", that mode is a joke as you have to enable it whilst being online).
- Pewpewarrows 15y agoJust FYI, they fixed not being able to start directly into offline mode about a month or so ago.
- aw3c2 15y agoNice! Does that mean I can purchase a game and then play it offline for all eternity?
- TruthElixirX 15y agoOffline mode has been fixed since at least the start of August, if not longer.
- ak217 15y agoTo me it's the direct opposite. I can't imagine life without Steam anymore, because to have to track down the install media/images of all those games, go through their ridiculous install procedures, updates, etc. every time I have to reinstall Windows or switch the game to a different computer is a tremendous waste of time.
