Why do I play all these games? Because it’s important that they’re played.

Because every game is a story, a world, a moment in time crafted by someone who cared enough to create it.

Because each one teaches me something new—about design, about culture, about myself.

Because in a sea of pixels, there’s magic waiting to be found.

And because, honestly? Sometimes I just want to escape, explore, and lose myself in different worlds.

So yeah. I own thousands of games, and I’ll keep playing them.

    And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

      So it’s the fault of the delivery-device? Why didn’t you make a backup of an older version just in case? Besides, last time I checked, you can. With a bit more hassle. All not the case for a “live” online-game. Which borderlands wants to be.

        …yeah? Of course it is.

        Why didn’t you make a backup of an older version just in case?

        I pay Steam to do that.

        Besides, last time I checked, you can. With a bit more hassle.

        Not interested.

        That’s exactly the problem.

          If BL is “exactly the problem”. And GOG does it better. Why is it still steam’s fault? Use GOG then? Where is it the delivery-device’s fault? As BL2 offers online-coop, and is also the major selling point of that game, a fragmented market is impossible.

            Why would you think another company doing it better makes Valve not responsible? I don’t understand the logic.

            …no? It’s not. You don’t have to play it online.
