MinceRthen again, many non-game DRM systems do the sameMay 24 23:33
MinceR(swindle vs 1984)May 24 23:33
DaemonFCwell, what's really shitty is that they sell boxed games on disc now that trick you into buying themMay 24 23:33
DaemonFCthen they have Steam on the discMay 24 23:34
DaemonFCand you can't get your money back when you find that outMay 24 23:34
