They did point it out in the last page.D4zZ said:Steam have already said when it first came out they have a system for when steam ends, and all games just won't require it any more. It has been tested with their internal things and that is the plan.
So basically nothing will happen. Can't believe no-one has pointed that out yet.
Different people have different opinions, some people are fine with paying for XBL and some people prefer to go with Steam (takes all kinds).Woodsey said:Ironic how they wouldn't see the big deal despite it being free and better than either PSN or XBL with cheaper game offers.Iron Mal said:PC gamers would descend into a frenzied panic and wipe themselves out in the following anarchy while those of us who never used Steam in the first place would simply sit by, chuckle and ask 'Why is it such a big deal?'.
After that there would be a wide spread paranoia and discrimination between the 'loyalists' who stick to the PC and those who 'defect' and start playing consoles. Sure, it would just start off with petty name calling and trolling but before long there would be blood in the streets...I mean forums.
A nightmare vision, I know.
Steam is like a Mars bar; tastes great,you don't put on any extra pounds and it doesn't cost you a penny.
Damn, I meant to say what a Mars bar should be. Right now, XBL is the Mars bar, and Steam is like the super cool Mars bar with all the plus points and-Iron Mal said:Different people have different opinions, some people are fine with paying for XBL and some people prefer to go with Steam (takes all kinds).Woodsey said:Ironic how they wouldn't see the big deal despite it being free and better than either PSN or XBL with cheaper game offers.Iron Mal said:PC gamers would descend into a frenzied panic and wipe themselves out in the following anarchy while those of us who never used Steam in the first place would simply sit by, chuckle and ask 'Why is it such a big deal?'.

Also, your description of a Mars bar is largely false (they usually cost between 60p to £1, they taste alright, but they break your teeth if it's cold, and I'm pretty certain that they will put some weight on you, it is a mixture of chocolate, caramel and a third thing I can't remember).
Just admit it, you're biased and suck at making analogies (don't worry, lots of people have that problem, myself included).Woodsey said:Damn, I meant to say what a Mars bar should be. Right now, XBL is the Mars bar, and Steam is like the super cool Mars bar with all the plus points and-
Never mind.
I'll have you know it was an exceptionally good analogy, I just didn't want to unleash it on your feeble minds for fear of breaking them.Iron Mal said:Just admit it, you're biased and suck at making analogies (don't worry, lots of people have that problem, myself included).Woodsey said:Damn, I meant to say what a Mars bar should be.

'I just didn't want to unleash it on your feeble minds for fear of breaking them'? We can also add a touch of elitism to the mix then.Woodsey said:I'll have you know it was an exceptionally good analogy, I just didn't want to unleash it on your feeble minds for fear of breaking them.Iron Mal said:Just admit it, you're biased and suck at making analogies (don't worry, lots of people have that problem, myself included).Woodsey said:Damn, I meant to say what a Mars bar should be.

And biased? No, I have both an Xbox and a PC.
You know, I'm often reminded of a Mars bar when it comes to people being bias...

And owning two consoles doesn't automatically make you unbiased (normally it's what you say about them that does that).
I'm often reminded of Twix when it comes to debating bias (let's face it, Twix beats Mars easily).
Fair enough (it's hard to detect sarcasm and humor in the written word), and I will challange you to a duel if you dare besmirtch the good name of Twix! (you get two bars for the cost of one...that makes it better dammit!)Woodsey said:Mate, I was joking :L
I will not stand for a Mars bar being beaten by a Twix however.
On a serious note, owning a console and a PC does make me less bias - I've seen Live and Steam and I've formulated an opinion through weighing what each has to offer. There's nothing biased about that. Admittedly I've never used PSN so I have to base my judgement on what others have said.
I'm loyal to being a PC gamer but if someone does something better on a different platform then fair play.
