Yeah. I think Steam has so many features that it has greatly reduced pirating overall for many people I know. I used to pirate a lot of games over a decade ago. But now, I just like having all my games in a library. Achievements. Cloud saves. Game streaming. Game sharing is insane. I have a buddy who buys a lot of games at release so I just download from his library and play. There are a lot of places you can find games for cheap.

Just speaking for myself, but pirating is more trouble than it’s worth. Games are getting larger in size. Download speeds vary based on source. With Steam, I can download a full size AAA game in an hour or two. Need to find cracks. You have to worry about viruses. You need way more storage space. I mean if I’m low on storage for Steam, I can just uninstall a few games and redownload it later if I ever want to replay them.

I received mine near the end of Q2, but mine is still fairly new because I had to RMA my original one after almost a year due to it not booting anymore. So I was able to smell the vent all over again when they sent me a new one. Lol. I don’t really care about the OLED at this point. I find myself using my gaming PC more these days anyway.
