[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 24 points 3 years ago (5 children) I've been incentivised not to, because Steam + Proton work so well. Probably worth downloading some backups and getting them running though, in case Steam decides to rug pull permalink fedilink source hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] 1984@lemmy.today 10 points 3 years ago* (2 children) Same here. Haven't even thought about pirating games because Steam is just working. Seems to me that Spotify and Steam has been really successful preventing piracy in music and games, but the streaming movie industry has failed because they got greedy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 years ago valve is a private company, so they don't need to jerk off the shareholders, and they can invest in what they want permalink fedilink source parent [–] ThatGuy@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Yeah steam does it very well. On stuff like the switch, the prices are so crazy I immediately go hack my console. But in steam, prices were so much lower to the point in which I never thought about it. I only recently started doing it when I noticed some games block you from playing offline. permalink fedilink source parent [–] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) I think we can trust steam until there is an acquisition or a change in hands of some kind.

Any game that you already have is still playable even after it's pulled from the store for whatever reason. You can even uninstall it and reinstall it from your library to your computer when ever you want. I have a couple games no longer available and never had a problem. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago (2 children) The real question is why would anyone want to play Riddick. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] luthis@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 years ago It's really good dude. Violent, tons of swearing, great graphics, stealth and action. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) You've obviously never played it.

If you want examples search Fit-Girl's (or your favorite repacker's) website for the term Goldberg. If you want to know more you can find their GitLab page pretty easy.
