>Steam is down
I've spent over 5000 bucks on steam games and I can't play them?

>>723990940 (OP)
Works fine in the first world.

I've never understood, since the release of Skyrim, why people allow Steam to buck-break them in this manner.

>>723990940 (OP)
It's not possible to play in offline mode while it's down?

But I'm playing AC6 on Steam right now. Getting the battle log in the Eliminate the Enforcement Squads mission is harder than Dark Souls.

>>723990940 (OP)
Hilarious if true.

>It's not possible to play in offline mode while it's down?
Most games on Steam don't support it as they use Steam as a form of DRM, the games that do support it you can usually just play by launching the .exe anyway and don't even need Steam.

no it isn't

>>723991261
Yes. Just a bait thread.

This is my opinion of their fake god.
Is this the ideal console or device for me, who hates Steam, hates PC gaming, hates Valve, hates the Steam Deck, and hates Gabe Newell?

where were all these threads when AWS died the other day and EGS went down too

>>723991261
Actually steam detects of you are offline or not. So if you have an internet connection, you can't start steam in offline mode. Try blocking the steam IP in your hosts file and try to play offline, it won't work.

>>723992103
on /g/ because nobody on /v/ knows what aws is and nobody uses egs so there was no complaints for that either

>>723992103
nobody uses EGS

>>723992139
or you could unplug the fucking ethernet cord like a normal human

>First world
Say hello to muhammed, cuck.

>>723992387
nobody uses ESL

>>723992483
Then offline mode would work, did you just read my post? It only doesn't work if steam is down

Literally the most common name in the third world, thirdie.

You think that's bad? I spent 30k on my car and the fucker refuses to start

>>723991153
cuz it works i havnt bought more than 10 games fron steam since 2015 lol
piracy for shit that doesnt need steams features

>>723990940 (OP)
ngl if they were dumb enough to crash their own skin market I'm afraid of how they will fuck up the steam platform

reminder that steam is literally just DRM, steamies own NOTHING, physicalGODS are laughing at you

>>723998816
Enjoy slowly installing games off that physical disc. Whoops, there goes your laser assembly. Whoops, laser rot.

>>723999776
enjoy the value of your skins.

>>723999873
I live in the USA. I don't play Valve games.

>>724000046
Big Mac in the thread! I repeat America is here! all hail king nigga and the orange nigga! All hail democracy! All hail Israel!

>>723998816
What was the last physical game you bought on PC?

>>724000332
>I'm angry that I'm poor

>>724000990
That was my point. Steam killed physical PC games, PC gaming is fucking soulless these days because of it. That's why I have consoles, and I originally played only on PC back in the day, back when you could actually own your games.

>>724000990
>playing PC games at 240p15 upscaled and fake framed up to 4k60
I play on my PS5 at 32K infinity fps.

>>724001416
>>724001518
I am so sorry

>>724001813
You don't need to be, my shelves are full of games and I enjoy looking at my collection grow.

>>724001813
Enjoy never playing Astro Bot.

Steam offline mode or am I stupid?

>>724001976
That's great. It must be nice being entertained by a shelf

>>723991042
tell us where you from, so we can laugh

>>724002394
I'm entertained by the games, enjoy looking at their artwork and satisfied by their physical presence and knowing they have resale value if I need it or want to trade them for something else.

You can keep seething about buying air though.

>>723992103
Lookism

>>723998816
yeah, we physical go- wait, why does it smell like smoke and what's that beeping coming from my collection room?

>>724002139
>Tutorial "game" on ps5
Oh no! That's terrible lmao

>>723993007
Yeah all of Europe Is starting to look like a third world shithole now

>>724003229
I accept your concession

>>724003590
I accept your transition

>>724003873
I accept your concession.

>>724002662
>if I need it
If you need it you should probably stop wasting your time on videogames.
I also like looking at artwork. Thankfully I can look at all the artwork I want without owning it. I used to be like you, then one day I realized I wanted to play some games I'd sold years before. Selling games was costing me money thanks to dick ass collectors inflating prices. If that's all I get from ownership then good riddance

>>724004376
lol just sounds like you regret selling your stuff. Should've thought harder before you did that

>jeets DDoS Steam because they lost their life savings in the new CS2 update
Feels good to not pay for skins.

>>724004545
>hmm, I know I don't care about this game right now, but I might change my mind at some point
Tell me how this wouldn't apply to every game you own?

>>724005535
I carefully consider what I want to get in the first place. I very rarely if ever regret any of my purchases or trades. Think more next time.

>>724005834
So you just don't sell your games? I thought that was the whole point of ownership.
Sure. I didn't think much about that stuff when I was a kid. Big deal. Now I've got a huge collection of physical games because I learned my lesson

>>724006201
I usually don't sell them since I only get what I want to have in my collection, yes. I do flip stuff sometimes to get other things I want though. Good that you have a huge collection anon, far more satisfying than looking a digital library.

>>723990940 (OP)
works on my machine

>>724006493
Staring at plastic isn't really satisfying for me, I'd rather spend that time playing something.
I'm sorry about your financial situation. I hear MMO gold trading is easy money in South America

>>724007268
Keep coping and seething pal.

>>724007350
I probably should've mentioned that nobody says purchase in casual conversation. Keep that in mind next time you try to blend in with native English speakers

>>724007560
>seething this hard
Sorry my shelf of games costs more than your whole setup, poorfag. I accept your concession.

>>723998816
Digital is the future. Even on consoles digital is outpacing physical because no one cares about plastic covers taking up space.

>>724007883
The day everything is all digital is the day I'm no longer interested in gaming, simple as. I already barely play anything modern at all, since most of it is fucking garbage.

>>723992598
Blatantly false, the steam deck lets you go to offline mode whenever you want and it's just arch with steam preinstalled

>>724007846
Weird flex from someone who admitted he can't afford all the games he wants. You've got self control problems
>DBZ image
Not beating the spic accusations

>>724008820
>the purchase of a digital product grants a licence
>the purchase of a product
So in Valve's own words, you are buying a product, and a licence is included with the product
>they're only buying a licence

>>724008820
>no alternatives

stop playing video games

>>723990940 (OP)
Use offline mode? How did you even get $5000 if you are this retarded?
Did you steal them?

>>723990940 (OP)
>valve made my CS2 knives lose money so I'll spend the rest of my life pretending Steam doesn't work

>>723992598
Why are you lying like this?

>>724009673
ever heard of GoG or QBittorrent?

>>723991261
Yes, but some devs put up their fucktarded "always online" policy and try to blame it on valve.

>>724010302
>GoG
>Good of Games
>has no games

>piracy
>theft
So, no alternatives. The only store with a comparable library is Epic, and that's the same shit with a worse launcher and experience.

>>724010538
>Good of Games
Yes saar please be purchasing a playstation 5 video console

>>724010538
If buying isn't owning then piracy isn't theft

>>724010978

>>724011464
no, I'm that anon, I did mean GOG didn't know there was even a different

>>724011464
>doubling down
What the fuck is Good of Games? It doesn't even have any google results

>>724014054
>says I'm doubling down, when he still fails to get it due to ESL issues
You could have just pretended to have left the thread, but I'll explain.
>GoG doesn't exist
>people who type "GoG" are LARPing, as even if they had just used it to redeem (saar) the free games, they'd know better
>the fact that you searched for "Good of Games" implies you don't understand how stupid that would sound due to a lack of understanding of the beautiful American language spoken by Jesus and Charles Barkley
Maybe you should just stop.

>>724014329
You're the one insisting Good of Games is a thing. Excuse me for trying to inform myself so I'm not talking out of my ass

>>724015119
>literally never did insist that
