You pirate games because Steam opens a window?
EDIT: Seems you're starting to resort to cheap attacks on me because you got downvoted
Gabe Newell said it himself. Piracy isn't a price issue it's a service issue. If the steam client is shit. Then we're going to go pirate
But it's really not. It has bugs, but the overall service is fantastic.
I agree. I was just defending that other person. Still think it's ass the the steam client is a second class citizen on Linux. It's still filled with so many bugs you don't see on windows
I wouldn't know since I've never used it on Windows, I created my Steam account when they started supporting Linux.
I guess I'm just grateful a major company is making desktop apps and compatibility layers for Linux, so I'm willing to look past a few issues.
