I'm sure that Putin is losing sleep trying to figure out how Russia is going to pay reparations to Iran for WWII. When will the world be rid of this clown?

He can sue the Soviet Union. [:D]

Rose-colored glasses will not hide a troll's ears.

I am not sure if you are wearing glasses but I cannot see your ears. I usually am not one to judge but trolls ears are an odd fetish.

You know, I think Emobama believes that anybody who doesnt believe in steam or the "great and powerful" future of DD-only is a luddite hiding under blankets hoping those nasty DD games go away. I really do. Personally, as much as I ...

What absolute tosh. No offense Scott_WAR, but how can an old game that came on CD that will still run happily in DOSBox or VMWare or even natively with some tweaks be compared to a game that will never work again if Steam goes the way of the ...

Well, I'll throw my 2 cents in...I absolutely hate/despise downloading full games over any of the services out there. I prefer hard copy. And no, I dont want to download and then burn it. I want the original. And yes, I have some ...

Big timer trophies like The FIFA World Cup Trophy cannot be won outright. They belong to a part of a larger organization and are given back unless the trophy is won again. He doesn't even technically own the money in his pockets. <e>[/quote ...

<t> That makes much more sense than having to own a physical copy. I can't say anything about Steam activation process and I can see the annoyance. Unfortunately that may be the future of software.
