Who cares, BO3 comes out on Friday, #COD4lyfe!

2 hours of PLAY time homie.

Right on. Play on playa.

[FunFordCobra]

Is it play time or does it start when you buy it? I thought it was from the purchase time.

On top of that, if you can wait, 6 months or so after release, Steam will have the games on sale. I don't have the want much anymore for having to have a game on release day (there are exceptions, though).

This is me, I stay far enough behind the new releases that I just pick up things as they go on sale. Of course I have my fanboi exceptions, Fallout 4 being one this month.

Have you read their "Fixes"? Basically they have a game breaking memory leak and their advice is to restart the game when it starts to stutter. They also recommend 12gb of ram in order to run it smoothly.

That is garbage, especially after a "fix". Will have to wait for this one to hit rock bottom price to consider it.

If steam can't get a cut, steam aint bout that life.

They could take 10% or what ever they do on the items.

Let's start our own platform. We'll call it Fort Kick Ass. I don't know anything about coding or computers in general, so we'll make that your department. I'll come up with the good ideas and general ass kickery.

No no, i get all of that. I'm just saying since shit has changed for pc's, it's not the same as a simple console game buy that you can resell later.

On pc, you buy it, it's yours, forever. When that $60 price tag actually became a full $60, and not $20 or $30 you could resell later, some people were upset. That's when I really started torrenting. If I liked the game, i'd buy it. If not, or if it wasn't worth a full price, I either wouldn't buy it, or I'd wait for it to go on sale. Remember when installing a game was just a matter of putting in the disc and then the cdkey, and registration was optional?

It doesn't bug me as much for console, since the disc can be resold. This batman game is a perfect example of why pc users pirate games though. Until recently pc game refunds were not a real thing. $60 to get fucked this hard (even more if you paid for the season pass dlc) is just inexcusable, especially if you can't pawn it off on someone else willing to pay a discounted price for your used copy.

Ah...the good ol' days of "Activation" rather than "Registration". If you read the EULAs now, you basically just have a long term lease on the game, you don't own it anymore.

Let's start one of those white house petitions, or email steam about adding whole games to their trade network thing that you can sell in game items on.

I always buy games and pirate everything else. Steam is SO much better now you have 2 hours of playtime to decide if you want to return it.

Thats what torrents are for.

Nah, that's the beauty of steam. I can delete and install stuff at will! My current PC doesnt even have a dvd/blueray on it.

[CexMashean]

I've never been one to sell used games. I usually go back and replay them a few times years later.

Buying a game used to mean $60 on release day, then make $20-$30 back later when you could resell it.
This shit is a commitment now. I'm not adult enough for that.

I used to do it that way, too. Now I pretty much use steam or origin exclusively to purchase games ( steam 90% origin 10% ).

Heck, Best Buy, GameStop, etc don't hardly have any good titles anymore for PC.
