I know nothing about Steam. Do we have a chance of getting Populous The Beginning, SimCity 3000 or Dungeon Keeper 2 mods on steam workshop now? Or at least see a community resurrection.

EA would have to implement it, which they won't. You are better of just downloading them individually. You can't beat Dungeon Keeper with keeper fx. These are just the bare games in a dosbox wrapper.
I hate when I have to use dosbox to play windows games on windows
I don't think these games support Steam Workshop.
>i know nothing about steam
There comes a point where LARPing ceases to be amusing
People should really stop thinking and making Steam = PC, PC is decentralized and it should stay that way

You are twenty years too late, Anon. Steam has a monopoly and short of miracle will continue to have one. The younger generations were raised to not know any different.
That's really not true though. There are multiple ways of getting PC games. GOG, Epic, humble store, itch.io, thepiratebay, etc.
Steam is the most popular, but that's not the same as a monopoly.
Steam made a point to entice both devs and gamers with sales/freebies, they forced people to register online to play games. They made their always-online DRM a requirement. Shit like Steamworks/Workshop was Steam doubling down to getting games locked to the Steam ecosystem. It's a monopoly because the competitors are negligible. GoG while cool is basically a novelty and not a threat to Steam. EGS is as bad as Steam or close, but lacks the market share that Steam has. Piracy does exist, but it's just further proof of monopoly because it's either Steam or illegal downloads for most games.
A monopoly is when there are no competitors. There are competitors to Steam.
>A monopoly is when there are no competitors. There are competitors to Steam.
They are not competitors. There is zero risk to Steam's survival as a company due to GoG or EGS sales.
Why do you think a competitor is only defined as a business on the same level or capable of destroying a business?
If that were the case Steam would be a competitor to other platforms, but not vice versa. See how that makes no sense?
>There are competitors to Steam.
valvecucks deleted my comment on the forums when I told people that this only means it will be a race who can kill physical media faster
Technical physical media is just digital media anyway. Your physical media will rot in time anyway. Will Steam ever go out of business? Probably, but its not a guarantee that it will happen in my life time. Will physical media become impossible to use within my lifetime? Definitely.
The race to "kill physical media" is time itself.
>Your physical media will rot in time anyway.
We'll all rot in time. I for one still prefer the freedom of physical media, without being a cuck to DRM clients.
Eh, I've had my steam library for over a decade, and considering they're such a large company they're unlikely to go bust any time soon. Even if they did, I live in a country that would force Steam to allow me to break the DRM and download backups. By that time I'll have enough harddrive space to backup my 600+ games that I got for an average of under a fiver each.
I don't know what freedom you're referring to, I don't feel restricted by Steam at all.
>buygays
you are part of the problem
If they can't figure out how to enter some combination of 'free' 'pc' 'gog' 'games' '.' and 'com' into a search engine, then they probably should stick to Steam
Some people actually want to support games they like so they see more of that. That's how capitalism works on a basic level.
I don't buy games more than 15 years old because I want new games that are good, not re-releases of games that are good. As a result I very rarely buy games. But the point remains the same. If you want good games to be released, you have to buy good games when they are released.
This is exactly the reason i quit modern pc gaming when shit became so centralized.
>DRM
you don't belong on /vr/
>no good ones
shame
EA is only doing this because nobody is installing their gay ass spyware for these games. They sell on GoG because it's DRM free and you won't get promoted for a fricking Origin account login (frick you Bethesda)
I know nothing about the latest games
Apparently they come on a C D now instead of a floppy?
Is The Saboteur any good? Some people praised it as a cult classic a few years ago but looking at the videos it seems completely forgettable and generic.
you know how some people have a weird obsession with Far Cry 2, and talk it up to be more than it is? They're from the same era and have the same weird fans.
It's GTA with building climbng. And instead of all the side stuff you have a ton of German equipement to blow up. It's by no means bad but repetitive after a while.
half baked jank like all of pandemic's games from that generation
It's the best Indiana Jones game we ever got.
