[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8016613, member: 6987520"] I am talking about a [I]demo[/I], so piracy really isn't an issue. And if I came off as implying PC gaming (or gaming in general) is childish, I apologize for THAT! I love games in all forms, and still replay some of my old PC games once in a great while (I've thought about replaying the SW:KotOR for a while now with the virus going on. While it might have been in existence that long, it wasn't popular all that time, and for myself, who was thinking to get back into PC gaming, my first exposure to it was less than 5 years ago. And it annoyed me and frustrated me that it was there keeping me from an old hobby. It is like smartphones nowadays. It seems everyone assumes everyone has a smartphone (or even a cell phone for that matter), and they simply don't. Technology can be a great thing, but I've seen too many times when people are the worse for it to embrace things I feel I don't really want or need. Steam being one of them. When all [I]I[/I] want to do it download a demo, it doesn't serve a purpose. I never said it can't be valuable to people who want it, such as yourself, but for people who [I]don't[/I] it is stopping them from trying out a new game, and thus denying the company of potential customers. A lot of people only play a few PC games and don't need all the functionality Steam can provide. [/QUOTE]
