It worked on me at least. I started with the demo, pirated the game, and it was the second game I bought on Steam. The first one was a MP game I saw on YouTube, and wanted to play. That's the only reason I even made a Steam account. I didn't see the point of Steam before that.

I put a GPU in my rig right at the end of the era of physical DVD games for PC, i caught a ton for change like $1 or $2 but really had no choice except digital after that...i'm just sad I found steam so long before I found this place...so much wasted money :ROFLMAO:

I definitely wasted money on games, but I sold back most of them so at least made some of it back. Not an option with digital obviously. A big part of why they wanted to move to digital. That, and you can release unfinished slop and patch it later. Also micro transactions.

Speaking of horse armor, I definitely felt the need to pimp out my horse in KCD2, although playing it to the end finally, you probably don't even need a horse, except for one quest where you're forced to chase down someone.

Also can't 'technically' loan out digital games...at least not without a leap of faith trusting someone on your account. Back then one person owned a copy and you could all play it.

What killed me the most though was re-releasing PS2 classics on PS3 and another copy on PS4, you couldnt even keep the f'in super nintendo game you bought 9 times already...running on the same crap emulator.

One of my biggest arguments for switching to PC (still) is that once you own a copy, even if they remake or remove it...you always own a copy, aside from games that require a server.

Now even that concept is dying...ironically Ubisoft is the company that made me give up consoles when they put a pre-order for AC: Black Flag for PS4 inside my pre-order for PS3, I literally JUST pre-ordered it ON RELEASE and they're already trying to sell me another copy of the same damn game sold for the same damn price on a next gen console, granted it was probably intended to be polite since it was $10 compared to $60 I had just paid, it was the straw that broke the camel (or horses) back for me.

Now Ubisoft went on a dying rant about not owning your digital games because they screwed everyone with like 3 of them to such an extreme that even Steam had to put it in the TOS although I sincerely doubt they agreed with the idea.

We'll be better off if that company goes under for reasons of pure hiring stupidity if nothing else...sad I am to say it. Rest in peace Ezio, our journeys together were those of greatness.

I was against this since DLC dropped (AGAIN Ubisoft) when they excluded chapters from the main story arc in assassins creed and then Konami with Castlevania's between chapter...which I still REFUSE to purchase even though I've bought the first game twice now (console) and the second game once.

Its a principal thing, same as Ubisoft.

Horse armor was the first DLC/micro transaction in Oblivion.
