Probably just a troll farming for clown awards.

I'm gonna hope it's a troll.

But some people are really weird about "owning" games. The other day I was in a call with someone who spend hours hunting through dodgy key selling sites to buy a delisted Steam game at nearly twice the price...

And yes I told them where else they could get it but they cared more about having the game appear on their Steam list than actually playing it.

even if it's not. There's just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There's a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.

Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.

broke and evil

Where do I even start with that kind of ghoulish bootlickery?

PLZ Add Publisher Launcher, it's unfair that friends find me on steam and not my super favorite publisher fancy go clicky web 3.0 cloud store with digital lucrative dlc lootboxes for my simple consoomer satiation.

PLZ make it so if cheats r detect that GameApp.exe explodes the battery in their laptop.

Scratch that, explode the Solomonite.

Surprising number of people taking this seriously.

Trolling is a art form

I'm glad to hear that broke and evil are two different types of people. I used to think broke people were evil.

I'm broke and evil now

typical steam thread user, will report you for pirating games and does massive corporate dick-riding
