>yfw some day by the 2030 Steam is going to dissapear just like GameSpy Arcade or Games for Windows LIVE
>yfw your entire game collection will be gone forever
Wouldn't have happened if Hilldawg was in charge
Probably not.
I also hope I will be long dead by 2030.
>>377149462
that's for the better then
>>377149364
steam is doing great 99% of pc gamers use it besides people who just pirate.
>>377149529
it's only 13 years from now
even less considering it's May already
fuck - it's closer from now to 2030 than from now to 2002

You go girl!

That's why I buy physical copies. The only way I'll ever buy digital is if it's on a really big sale. Those who pay full price for digital are fucking retards.
>>377149958
even buying physical copy of a game you need to register it on steam
>>377149364
Steam dies, pirate the games, problem solved.
>>377150429
B-but.. oh..
>>377150202thats why I play on consoles, I got totally disinterested with PC gaming after they started forcing Steam on us.
>>377150536
I wonder what's going to happen if Sony declares PS3 a legacy platform and considers taking down all PS3, PSP, and cross platform content.
>>377150701
But that's why I have my physical copies. They all work offline no problem. Worst thing is no update support but that's a lot better than not even being able to play shit you paid for.

Isn't console gaming more expansive?
>>377151020
I probably make more than you faggot.
>>377151175
Depends. The console itself is cheaper but the games are more expensive.
>>377151020
>v-valve is my friend and I trust them with the ownership of all my games
>>377149364
By the time Steam shuts down you'll have a jack installed in your spine and you'll spend your free time in a VR sim with Audrey Hepburn grinding her hairy pussy on your face as Marilyn Monroe straddles your cock, the two of them massaging each others breasts and exchanging tonguey kisses.
>>377151721
Marilyn fine but I dont want that stuck up mouse faced bitch hepburn anywhere near my cock.
>>377149364
>your entire game collection
>your game
I bet you wept about losing YOUR movie collection when Blockbuster got shut down too.
>>377151993
But that's wrong you faggot.
At blockbuster you paid rental fees to rent movies instead of the full price.
Steam you pay full price for a game, it should be yours logically.
Legally speaking you're right though, you have no ownership over your games. And I reiterate: people who pay full price for digital copies are fucking retards.
the alternative is keeping 20 consoles plugged in and reserving a wall in your home for plastic boxes. Fuck that.
>>377152319
On Steam you pay full price to rent a digital copy of a game for a long time. You don't own anything on Steam.
Something tells me if Steam shuts down there will be a plan in place to ensure people can keep their games.
You guys suck at thinking further ahead than a week or so.
>>377151721
>udrey Hepburn grinding her hairy pussy on your face
>>377151118
Are you a retard?
>>377149364
I don't think anything will replace PC gaming, ever. Console users on the other hand lose all those games with every new generation.
>>377149364
By the time Steam goes down I wont be playing games anymore.
Judging by how I treat my PS2 Games, that are just sitting the basement I really won't care.
Valve have said that there will still be a way to play your games If steam ever gets shut down, but I'm not sure what it would be.
>>377153119
games like Total War:Warhammer or FIFA 17 are not cracked to this day
>>377149364
I can't wait to quit video gaming
Steam has such a massive library the concept of it going under is kinda like the concept that Apple would consider closing iTunes.
Even if Valve went under another company would buy Steam just for that playerbase that uses it.
>>377153605
As it stands it would be impossible, they'd have to some some severe changes. If servers were to close I don't think they'd bother at all.
>>377149364
Isn't there a folder on your PC for every game you download from Steam containing all game data and the .exe file? Even if Steam were to shut down you could play games directly from there, you'd just need to make a backup copy and your games are safe.
Steam is synonymous with PC gaming. Seeing them going under would be a rare site.
>>377149364
>Steam is going to dissapear just like GameSpy Arcade or Games for Windows LIVE
It's not going to disappear like those things because people are too invested in Steam.
Whats going to happen is Gayben is going to have a heart attack and Valve is going on the open market, get a board of directors, and a fuckton huge numbers of fingers in the pie who all want one thing - money - and it's going to turn into a madhouse as they slowly ramp up the money juicing machine as they hold everybodies game library hostage.
Can't wait for that day.
>>377154513
You'd need a crack to play those games since it needs something from Steam to start. I guess they would make a universal crack for all the games.
>>377154838
I highly doubt Gabe hasn't picked who will lead Valve next in the case of an emergency. That fat fuck knows his time is near.
>>377154513
>you would just need to make a backup copy of all 5TB of your games
cool idea bro
>>377149364
>compare the most successful digital gaming platform in existence with two abject failures
every time
if you think steam will disappear you are retarded straight up
>>377151721
do not lewd audrey
>>377155231
The backup is optional, you can still play games without having a backup copy (assuming that a crack exists like
>>377154979 said)

Why is there a microwave in this image depicting Hilary memes?
Who gives a shit considering no one lives forever?
>>377155517
>Why is there a microwave in this image depicting Hilary memes?
Wow, good point, it's either a microwave or an almost 30yo TV model.
>>377149462
She very well might be after Blumpf gets impeached. Pence will be in office for two years and an election will be held. At which point we'll all scream in joy, Hill yes!
>>377156239
Hillary's sworn off taking any public office. You can stop false flagging now.
Go back to your babyspeak infantile Colbert meme.
>>377156554
>Hillary's sworn off taking any public office.
About as likely to be true as when loser paul ryan swore he didn't want to be the speaker. Say it with me, Drumpster, Madame President.
>>377156806
I mean, at least this has some semblance of effort put into the bait.
/pol/'s gotten real depressing lately, they've all regressed to the mind of a 3-year-old. It's pretty sad.
>>377149364
Won't they email everyone their cd keys at least?
>>377156145
Why would an old tv model be used to meme current events, is what I'm getting at.

Wow, what's your problem buster, all I did was point out the TV in the image looked like a CRT from your parent's attic.
