I don't pirate games anymore because steam solved my access problem.

Amazing that all these shitty streaming services make me wish blockbuster was a thing again.

But, since it isn't and never will be, it's a yo ho ho from me.

(Until a reasonable steam-esque service for movies/shows turns up anyway)

Until you think it might be fun to play 2 games on 2 different monitors on 2 computers at the same time. Then you realise, Steam games are not treated as just software. 1 of the many reasons I prefer to pay the price for GoG despite Steam being significantly cheaper due to regional pricing.
