Same here. Haven’t even thought about pirating games because Steam is just working.
Seems to me that Spotify and Steam has been really successful preventing piracy in music and games, but the streaming movie industry has failed because they got greedy.
Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it.
I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline.
I admit, I didn’t, but I thought the movie was so horrible that I couldn’t imagine how the game could possibly be better. Glad to hear they redeemed it a bit.
I’ve been incentivised not to, because Steam + Proton work so well.
Probably worth downloading some backups and getting them running though, in case Steam decides to rug pull

valve is a private company, so they don’t need to jerk off the shareholders, and they can invest in what they want

I think we can trust steam until there is an acquisition or a change in hands of some kind. But better safe than sorry!
It happened already
To be fair, if you already bought the game then you’re fine, but the only way to play Riddick now is to pirate it.
The real question is why would anyone want to play Riddick.
You’ve obviously never played it. It was one of the best games on Xbox.

Couldn’t you just keep your games and use a Steam emulator?
Is that a thing?
