What is the English term? Obeying in advance?

Soooo... Without capitalism?

It's a bubble.

A friend of mine who bought it clearly states that that's never going to get anywhere. But he's only paid a regular amount and accepted the risk and loss.

It is a difference if you get stuff prepackaged in a uniform format.

But full agreement on the rest, yes with steam tendency to include drm (especially if new aaa) and gog hopefully not (but sometimes failing) as it still is their selling point.

Okay let's chalk this up to some language barrier or cultural misunderstanding then. 😁

Thanks.

Err.. You often don't have the files drm free on Steam. Nor in an installable format (without steam).

Anyhow. Seeing the down votes I'd love for some to elaborate.

Otherwise it just looks like some rampant steam fanboys.

While that may be partly true, (also likely) depending on the county you're located, they're not able to revoke the license though.

So in this specific case you having the files makes a world of difference.

The most important point of venture capital isn't even mentioned.

To me this is way too much like extortion. The more they do this the less I want to give them money.

Also I need to be logged on everywhere, which I don't want to (have to), mostly for privacy and data harvesting reasons.

It also does not help that when I want to see something and jump around in a video, I get the same ad 30 times. No exaggeration.

I could complain about my experience from a few motos the recent years but let's just say I would no longer recommend getting a moto.
