This comment is in no way meant as a critizism to any individuals or SCS software itself, but this comment contains my honest reflections. I have been following these blog posts for quite a while and I see a lot of really ungrateful people demanding this and that and calling you stupid things, it's a shame that some people are disrespectful. I really appreciate the work that has been done over the years since release, and that you are still keeping the game alive with the upcoming expansion and other small, yet important, updates. I fully understand that servers are not for free and that some of the funds are being used to pay the providers to host the game updates. Yeah, I see the way Steam is easier to handle things and free to distribute patches in relative to the use of paid servers.īut still, many of us have bought the retail edition of the game since release date and most of us won't accept the fact that we should be forced into the use of Steam. Somehow, after reading this blog post, I feel blamed and punished at the same time for having bought the retail copy of the game upon release date. So yes, I have Steam and I use it everyday, but I like having some games that are completely independent of a third party platform that sits between me and the game I legally purchased. Nowadays I quite often reminisce about the old days, when I could simply buy a game in a store, pop the disk into the drive, install the game and hit play without having to create endless user accounts and memorize countless passwords. The reasons above are just the tip of the iceberg though - some of the newer platforms, like Origin or Uplay are better at some things than Steam, but they are still an extra hoop I have to jump through in order to play a game that I have legally purchased. That happens quite often and still pisses me off, despite the fact that I have been using Steam since it first became available. So now thanks to Steam I cannot play a game "right now", because their server is down for maintenance or because of an error. Then there is a simple matter of Steam servers acting up. For instance, some people do not want or care for DRM and Steam is an example of that (a much better one than some, to be sure, but still some people might not like it).Īnother issue is the fact that no matter how much you tell Steam you don't want a game updated, the said game would still be updated regardless of what the user wants (and the "do not automatically update game" command does absolutely nothing - sooner or later the game will be updated no matter what). Because Steam has issues that some can do without.
