    For me, if it's on any bullshit DRM system posing as a service, it doesn't exist. Steam, Origin, doesn't matter.

    Not many computer games released for PC, these days. The ones that are tend to be lots more fun than some Orange Box shite though.

    Provided you're willing to eat whatever shit Valve decides to throw into the TOS. If not, well, kiss "your" games, and your cash, goodbye.

    It's only "non-disruptive" if you're already suffering the same corporate Stockholm Syndrome as the Blizzard and EA fans, just saluting a different flag.
