If I could go back to 10 years ago that would quite literally be one of the last things I would do.
@ all: if you could go back in time 10 years to the day, what would you do?

The 2017 one, obviously. Not the 2005.
Steam still charging 40 dollars I believe?
Nah, it was at fire sale prices for a bit there. Anyone who wanted it would be able to get it for cheap.
I just don't like Epic. I'm anti-launchers on principle. Uplay, epic, battle net, all them hoes. It took me 10 years to get an origin account, and that's only because steam didn't have Mass Effect 3.
I only have the Epic store for the free game.Nah, it was at fire sale prices for a bit there. Anyone who wanted it would be able to get it for cheap.

The honest fact though is there's so many goddamn launchers now you need Steam + at least one other as far as I can tell.If you're not paying for the product, you are the product. That's real life.
I can't in good faith reward a company with my personal information for shitty business practices. And all their lackeys are dead with them in my eyes. Gearbox, Ubisoft, IOI, anything Deep Silver, basically don't exist to me anymore.

I’ve seen them live 3 times and he was the only reason I went. If you get a chance go he’s worth the price of admission.I was having the conversation the other day, but Danny Carey is the only reason Tool is remotely interesting.
BGS? Feel like I should know what that is.The only other one I got pulled into was Origin, and EA just owned Origin being a big fail in their return to Steam. Thing about that is that I give a pass for first party. I might not like it, but it at least makes sense. Buying third party exclusives because you can't compete straight up is when I burn them and don't look back.
That's why I can't knock Sony for keeping their games on PS. They did make them after all. But when Microsoft pulls BGS from their system, they can't cry foul.

I don't fault Ubi for having a launcher since they make a lot of stuff in house but they also still let their games get bought elsewhere too. You usually get the better discounts for Ubi games through their system though when there are sales.

A right, just so used to people just calling them Bethesda so I had a dumb moment.Bethesda Game Studios. Microsoft is in the process of acquiring Zenimax (their parent company) right now.
Yeah, I still forget sometimes that they went from an RPG developer darling to a conglomerate of distribution and production.A right, just so used to people just calling them Bethesda so I had a dumb moment.
