What will us PC gamers do now that we will no longer be able to steal our video games?

*sigh* i dont know.

no where to buy PC games and now nowhere to pirate them.

i think this is it....i think this is the end of the PC as a gaming platform.

and i for one welcome my new mobile overlords :P.

PC gamers are pirates, PS gamers are ninjas.

Well, I live in a country which there is no copyright law, so practically all games ( as well music,films, books etc.) are illegally copied and distributed, so we have no other choice than buying these copies unless we buy something from Europe. Though even there, many people just download the games via Internet and I don't mean steam or something. I always feel guilty playing these games but I have no choice. It is absolutely okay for me to pay $60 for a game which entertains me for months but I just can get originals where I live.

Pretty shitty ninjas then, aren't they supposed to stay in the shadows? there's cows running rampart in every goddamn thread here!

Do as usual : spend less money on software and more on hardware...aka wait for flash sales!!! /S

I buy all my games, so I think I'll be ok.

I suppose I've to cut my monthly PC upgrade budget of 15 thousand dollars in order to afford buying original games, I guess.

Woe is me.

Anyway...we still have piracy now and the past few years yet that doesn't stop PC gaming revenue AND steam to increase yearly...in the latters case by leaps and bounds.

So what makes you think the end of piracy=dead PC gaming?

With so many sales going on all the time + steam refund + humble bundle, people actually have lesser and lesser reasons to pirate games now.

For the poorer ones...well,\they simply have to choose one of the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of F2P games. I went almost a full year playing nothing but World of Tanks and I didn't spend a dime. Awesome times.
