I shiver at the thought of how many evangelicals will think this a punishment for defying god.


Certainly they will, but I don't think it would bother Christopher at all.

Besides, would that actually be something to be proud of? That your god is so immature, needy and vicious that he goes around implanting cancer in people that disparage him? They have a strange fantasy that lot. If you're going to have an imaginary friend, why make him a bastard?

I replied with a possible fix for the update bug.

I haven't had the problem myself, so let me know if it works.

Steam Ownership:
- No physical possession of purchased product.
- No ability or rights to transfer, gift, or on-sell your product once you have 'taken ownership' of it.
- No ability to 'lend' your purchased product. (sharing your steam account is a breach of terms and conditions.
It is not legally ownership of anything. It's only a payment for perpetual renting of the product for one individual user only. It is at Steam's discretion to revoke that lease - and the lease on ALL other steam games at any time if they judge a breach of the account terms and conditions.
If they only charged half the price for 1 month use of the product i'd be fine with it. I don't NEED to own it - i just want to play it. I'd even pay a micro-payment for each time i loaded it and every hour i spent playing.
It pisses me off they charge the full store box price when you actually have no real rights of ownership. It's a scam.


Exactly why I'm going to stop buying games on Steam. That and the stuck updating client bug, which has been a perpetual problem for years, that they never fix or correctly explain. You can't play any Steam game if the bug happens. And how do you switch to "offline" mode? You have to log in first to activate offline mode. Which of course is impossible if it gets stuck updating. It's just baffling. Even if they can't ever figure out how to properly fix it, they could still easily mitigate it if they cared to.

And what do you do if Steam ever goes out of business? Since none of the games have offline installers, you're simply screwed.
