' Wrote:Quick question that maybe someone here can or can't answer, but what if you buy the game on steam? If you have a game connected to your steam account, can't you download (and install) it virtually endlessly, or does this apply to the steam version of the game as well?
If you look at the page of any given game on Steam, it will tell you if it uses 3'rd party DRM or not.
The gaming industry is in the exact same position that the music industry was in a decade ago. Companies need to get it through their heads that piracy is a service problem. Don't want your game to be pirated? Provide a better service then the pirates.
Just ask Valve. They consider piracy-prone Russia to be their second biggest Continental European market (UK is their biggest). They did it by offering services that they pirates don't.
