Didn't think I would have a new post so quickly.
So I re installed the OS the other day, not routinely a problem for me (I do it a lot).
This means re installing programs too of course (not routinely a problem either). Well until recently.
I don't liiiiike Steam, but until today I didn't hate it. I now dislike it a lot more so.
Hey it's ironic, I rarely actually buy games too. But this Steam service, I have actually bought Civilization V and Heroes of Might and Magic V via Steam.
It's likely going to be the last games too.
Say what you want, but their most recent 'Steam Guard' is mislabeled. It should be called Steam Killer.
It took three codes to actually get it so I could install my legit copy of the game which I have the dvd for.
Here's the humour, I was going to go and post a thank you for at least getting the new codes to me fast, and say at least I don't mind the speed of service.
Nope, I can't log onto the forums, need a code. WTF?
Oh I am so not going through that all over again, just to say thanks for helping me sort out a program that is essentially ensuring I will not be buying any games through Steam again unless I have a gun to my head. I can hardly wait to see if I have trouble re installing my copy of HOMM V and the expansion. Bad enough it's going to likely take all day to download them again (because Steam sucks for speed some times).
Just damned glad all of my wargames are predominantly bought from a company that sells them as installers with a serial and nothing else (including internet access) required.
I don't mind a bit of hassle, but I have limits.
I am so definitely becoming very hardened and very indiferent to the troubles and trials of trying to market games and not suffer from pirates too greatly.
Why bother, when I get treated to an incredible sum of really irritating hassles for something I actually paid for eh. Where's the upside to being nice?
Is there an upside?
Oh the Steam community is this and the Steam community is that. Phooey.
I have like way too many wargames as it is. I own as many games as I likely have any lifetime required to play them all before becoming fertilizer.
I feel sad for the young though, that likely will see even more stupid aggravations foisted on them.
Long live just downloading a game, and telling them to piss off until such time as actually buying the game is not the equal of root canal (ever had root canal work done? not pleasant let me tell you).
