It doesn't matter anyways as ?s don't purchase games Langar was shut for two- three whole days. Haha, who’s talking about Gamepass which is a subscription service? It will always need periodic verification I was talking about digitally purchased games which were always playable offline even during whole of the outage try to think before commenting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiKO Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 "Most games require an initial start-up while connected to the Steam Network before they will work in offline mode." So basically when you download a game from steam, you need to run it once in online mode to make the offline mode activated. Disagree? Sure, so you are disagreeing with Steam's own system? Here is the link of STEAM's own FAQ, educate yourself: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0E18-319B-E34B-B2C8 Oh and some of us are actually PCMR and using steam for 15 yrs now....so don't even dare to bring false data from Twitterendu!

radicaldude Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Some people don't understand the difference between some/most/many (steam) vs all ( gp/xbox store crapola). No need to refer to steam FAQ for this. Just refer to a dictionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have experienced this with multiple games . I don't need to search internet for answer coz im using steam on daily basis more than you and have more games than you on Steam lol TIL this is on steam also, earlier I thought only PC GP does this 11 minutes ago, radicaldude said: So you guys think you know better than bonafide media franchises / industry experts? The entirety of the gaming community leaving ?s criticised this outage. This relates to those game sharing things now doesn't it? like on PS4 i had this US account because many years back they had better sales, so I had to "activate as primary ps4" or some other setting like that was there, guess this is similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entirety of the gaming community leaving ?s criticised this outage. I must be playing on some other system i guess. There's DRM on Xbox but it just requires you to connect once to Live servers after initial installation. Then you can play offline. You can play offline on Xbox from that point. Same way it works on Steam. People want this Steam style system to be removed from Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicaldude Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 It’s bewildering to see “gamers” defend online drm. It’s like book fans defending a good book burning I guess only ?s can defend drm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicaldude Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Just now, WhiteWolf said: I must be playing on some other system i guess. Yes maybe you are playing on a ps2.

radicaldude Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Steam provides thousands of games. It depends on the developer if they want to add drm (or not) . Valve games are drm free and that's what matters to me. However drm is a crucial component of the xbox ecosystem itself. That's what is being criticised here Edited May 11, 2022 by radicaldude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
