How Steam stopped me from pirating games and enjoy the sweet DRM kool-aid
Descrição
Note: A reader sent us this interesting take on Steam and DRM, but requested to stay anonymous due to the nature of the article. We of course obliged. Up until a few weeks ago, the last PC game I purchased and didn't pirate was Team Fortress 2 via the digital download service, Steam. The last PC game I purchased in a retail box was Half Life 2. Yet like many, I've still managed to play every PC hit over the last decade. I simply couldn't justify spending $50 on a game when pirating offers so many real benefits verses owning a legit copy. Part of my motivation was that it's just so damn easy to pirate a game. It's like three clicks of the mouse to download a torrent and even less on Usernet. The files download as fast as my cable modem allows and I have the full game with simple cracking instructions a few minutes later. Why in the world would I want to drive to a store and give them $50 for the same thing?
