Also, I bounce back and forth between two computers throughout the day (home and work) and with cloud saves I can pick up on one machine where I left off on the other.

I'm not so bold as to put Steam on my work computer. :laff:

Ah, the Siren song of convenience, with the side-effect of inconveniencing others, having all your eggs in someone else's basket, and total dependence on electricity in more than one location simultaneously.

Hay guys never use the latest tech because it might get popular and then those without it will be left behind!

Honestly jtr, your argument is just as dumb as saying "Don't buy a PS3, they'll stop making games for PS2 if everyone gets a PS3 and then what will the PS2 owners play?!"

Don't worry, I'll get you a physical copy and a digital version of your choosing.

hahaa, watching you old fogies be suspicious of steam is hilarious. It's like people being frightened of online shopping. Newsflash - steam is fine.

I guess I'm old fogie :cheeky: ... but I find Steam to be good and haven't experienced any problems. :thumb:

Exactly what antihero276 said. But I will never buy it if I will be forced to subscribe to Steam. Which will probably happen. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah xD never really been a Steam person myself, I have it but have yet to really do anything with it.

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22623010) Borrowing a copy might not quite be the same in future on Xbox One.

Quote:

Microsoft faces a backlash from some gamers after it emerged the company may charge a fee to play pre-owned games on its new Xbox One console.

It would also mean borrowing a game from a friend will require a payment to play, possibly the full price.

Quote:

He added that gamers could bring their games to a friends' house to play without paying a fee - but only if the game's owner is signed in to the Xbox Live account with which it is registered.

If the player wanted to lend the game to that friend, a fee would be required in order to play the title on a different Xbox Live profile.

Lame decision if they decide to do this, and it will definitely hurt MS/Xbox One if the PS4 does not follow suit. Most titles will probably be available on both platforms, and as a buyer of many used games, this would tip the scales in Sony's direction for me personally if I was to choose one console over the other.

Edit: Granted, this was from a year ago, but speaking of (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/117253-Pachter-Sonys-Jack-Tretton-Totally-Opposed-to-Blocking-Used-Games) Sony and used games...
