@the_big_doggg It Xbox One has Steam DRM, it is no point buying a console over a PC. Consoles are good because you can still benefit from no DRM, offline mode, sharing, trading, and actully own what you pay for. Without these benefits, there is no point in buying a console over a PC. Its pretty simple.
@the_big_doggg Just bought Deus Ex HR on Steam for 5 dollars. I pay for 5 dollar games all the time. I`ve never seen a games cheaper than 20 dollars on Xbox Live, not even arcade games.
@the_big_doggg No it was not. I don`t have to check in every 24 hour on Steam. I took my laptop with me to Turkey this summer, and I played 3 weeks without checking in once, because I was offline all the time.
Xbox Live offered 60 dollar rentals with 24 hour check in. Steam offers 5-20 dollar games with unlimited offline mode.
Steam will probably last until the day I die of old age. Xbox One will probably get shutted down after 8-10 years. Since backwards compatibility clearly isnt a feature on consoles anymore, what would happen to all our Xbox One games? Guess what. They all would get shut down.
@the_big_doggg Steam is not monopoly PC gaming. That`s the big difference between PC gaming and console gaming. Xbox Live and PS+ are not very cheap. Why? Because they have no competition. On PC there are several digital distribution platforms. Steam is only one of them. We also have Amazon, Origin +++++ ... They are all in competition with eachother, and therefor games are cheap. You are just a sad fanboy because Microsoft took away your family sharing.
