PLEASE remove the Steam feature (Closed)
Please remove it
I dont want it on the site that I like I hate DRM with every inch of my body and I hate that Gabe Newell
If you
This isnt fair on me I didnt do anything wrong here.

I don't see how this affects you.
I'm not a big fan of Steam and its DRM either, and you don't see me complaining.

Funny, Steam doesn't directly affect The Dink Network in any way. You choose to have a third party stamp on your profile and that, in turn, gives you a little icon, much like the Xbox one. Only difference is the Xbox one is an official box, I think. And Microsoft is much worse than Valve...as in, I don't see Valve doing ridiculous anti-consumerist practices. And no, Steam doesn't do DRM anything like other corporations do. You can play your games offline, Steam just acts as your library. That's like screaming at your game shelf because you feel like it's too heavy to move. If Steam goes down permanently, which is very unlikely, I'm pretty sure it won't be the end of all your games.
In conclusion...
Uh huh.
(and by the way, just to piss you off further since it's funny, I'm the reason it's there in the first place. I hope you hate me more now, sweetheart )

You really feel everything resolves around you don't you? If some people like a steam button why not let them have it?
Some people set a gender in their profile, others feel it is irrelevant. Have your pick.

Goshdarn, you waskily little Leprechaun, you ducking hypocrite.
While I personally think that Steam is pretty much a pile of junk and is a totally unnecessary feature to have on TDN, it's not like it's hurting anyone. If you don't like it, just ignore it.
Though it does raise the question why don't we have a similar button for everything gaming ever. I'd love to have an "I has a ColecoVision" -button.

yeah because that's a "necessary feature"
Because ColecoVision isn't relevant nor is it a massive community gaming platform.
Really, Skull. That was a pretty bad comparison.

It is? I never really thought about it that way, but maybe you're right.
It'd certainly be nice to just glance at another Dinker's profile and see if they had a ColecoVision. That way I could just travel to them and play some ColecoVision with other Dinkers. I guess you're right. It really almost is necessary. God forbid I ask if they happen to own one!

look, i get your autism makes detecting sarcasm hard but that was right in front of your face.
why don't we have a counter that detects the number of times they've hit the ~ key on the forums?
it's just as relevant

Great idea! I've always been really curious about how many times Scratcher has hit the ~ key on this forum. He barely ever seems to use it! But you never know. He could be deleting the proof before posting.

Skull, stop being a dipshit. Oh, wait, then you wouldn't exist anymore.
Added ColecoVision feature to account profile.
My gods, you did. That's both stupid and great.
Dink's never been relevant yet here we are.
Now I wish I had a ColecoVision so I could have a little icon saying so.
Dink's never been relevant yet here we are.
But it's relevant to the site. Steam's relevant because I made a stupid little group and we even had a plan to Greenlight Dink HD...which we should still do.

ColecoVision has not been relevant since 1985; unable to comply with your request.
Best feature.

I'm a big fan of Steam and it's DRM so I think this Steam feature is a good feature. So please keep features like this featured at our site.
i like how nobody wants an x-fire feature
i'm not saying we should
i'm just saying i like that

The one time I used that thing, the recording was so ducked up, I thought it was beyond saving. Then I fixed it, edited the video, and that's probably the only time I'll ever use it.
What MoneySoft did with the Xbone was no different then what Steam is doing to PC gaming.
Steam took away might to borrow/trade/sell/ my games because all they care about it money.
They dont do anything good and this includes ALL FORMS of DRM.
DRM shouldnt exist PERIOD and its only getting worse.
Why does Steam even exist in the first place.
I dont buy much PC games anymore and sooner or later console game because everything is slowly going to sh!t
The last PC game I like was C&C3 from 2007 the last good year for PC gaming
A qoute from a youtube comment
No they were not. You think back '95 WarCraft 2 was an E-sport game? No! It was a strategy game. You thinkg Dominion: Storm Over Gift 3
was a ducking E-sport game? No! There was no online gaming, no ranks, no e-peen gaming. Back in those days they were just plain strategy games with no E-sports what so ever. Then came StarCraft. A simple head on strategy game. But they saw that they can make money off of ot it by making tournaments and what not. Now the next games came out already based on that factor and now suddenly all RTS games are E-sports to show off how big their dick is with some bullshit rank and highscore. I don't play games any more, because there is nothing to play. That era where I come from, where games were fun and entertaining, is now over.
I still think to this very day that WC2 and its expansion was the best RTS of all time and for good reasons.

I didn't mention the Xbox One, that's just the poor naming Microsoft did with the system. How is what Xbone is doing the same as what Steam is doing? Elaborate, please.
Steam didn't take away the right to trade. You can still do that. Buy a game, choose to store it in your inventory, then trade it with someone. I did that recently, but I gifted it instead of traded it since that was my plan. You cannot borrow or sell them for obvious reasons. Think, Predisher. It's a different sort of market.
"They don't do anything good". Ok, well, Portal 2 has a great online system that more games need to have, they don't break the client, although the servers are sketchy at times and even downright broken when huge sales happen, these sales save you the crap of paying 59.99 for a game that was rushed out the door... where were you going with this? Tell me something horrible Valve has done.
DRM shouldn't exist, I agree. But Steam's DRM isn't infringing. Origin's is. EA in general has piss poor DRM. I haven't had a problem with Steam's DRM which is basically non-existent if you can play the games you payed for.
As for why Steam exists? I dunno, why does GOG exist? Why does Origin exist? To sell you games. I mean, Origin's there as a miserable, failed attempt to compete with Valve, but whatever. I have that thing added to my Steam library so I can play the one game I have for it with the Steam overlay. Works well.
You say you don't buy many PC games anymore. Then why bash Steam?

Why not Because they took it away from me and everyone else
This my philosophy I BUY GAME I OWN GAME THAT IT.
If wasnt for used games I wouldnt of played Goldeneye 007 on the N64

Because greedy b&stards like Gabe Newell and John Riccotello ruined it all before I you put the disc in and play
I remember me and my brother used borrow games on PC but not anymore.
Why cant they make it BETTER remove the CD keys also even though thats been around for ever I still hate them and their useless.
This is why I play On consoles up until the Xbone there was no
-DRM bullcrap
-Installs
-CD keys
My server is the console itself which I own not some bullcrap in the "cloud".

Ok, first off, your grammar is abysmal. I don't know why the hell "Why not Becasue they took it away from me and everyone else" means. The next two lines are comprehensible, but still poorly written.
Allow me to counter your "I buy a game, I own it" statement. Discs aren't exactly good. Sooner of later, that disc will become unusable and you will probably look at a digital alternative. For example, Freddy Fish is on Steam. Those games, along with other Humongous Entertainment games are a part of several people's childhood's, including mine. It's pretty damn cool to be able to play it when they were meant for Windows 98 and my copy of Missing Kelp Seeds is basically ruined. I think not having a physical copy is a good tradeoff for being able to play games you wouldn't be able to before, even though I'm contradicting that statement by saying I have the disc for Freddy Fish. Still, you get my point.
If wasnt for used game I wouldnt of played Goldeneye 007 on the N64
The used game market is pretty cool, yes. But it's starting to go away. It won't ever be gone 100%, but it's less of a thing especially with companies trying to ruin it by saying that used games are piracy... -_-
Still, you can load up an emulator and play games like Goldeneye 007 if you don't know where to find a copy of it and a Nintendo 64. Of course, you could be playing the Wii re-release, but whatever.

GOG's the same thing in almost every regard! You have games in a library attached to your account and you download them. Sure, you get an installer for each game and you can just send them to someone, but that's fully translating the pre-digital era of gaming to a digital form. Sure, it opens up the door for a site to come by and have every game on GOG for free, but that's how they function, and they're not going down the drain which adds a nice little bag of points to the "Piracy is harming gaming!!" when it really isn't. Companies using piracy as an excuse to screw the consumer is the problem.
Your URL is "/You%20say%20you%20don".
As for Gabe being a greedy dink, I don't see it. Greedy dinks probably don't meet their protesters with an invitation to lunch and a tour around the office complete with a free test run of DOTA2. Hell, Valve is a damn good place to work, because they don't force deadlines and they let you even work on personal projects. Do some research.

Having a button does not equal digital rights management. DRM exists primarily because of people stealing their games, and has only grown because both the stealing and for profit. Most of the time, DRM is bad, because it freaking sucks and breaks the game, other times, it's brilliant and well done. Take, for instance, Earthbound. If you pirated it and played it, the game would delete the save file before the final boss. Batman: Arkham Asylum renders the cape useless. These features are included because piracy, in regards to new games, and not games that require an emulator to work, heavily drains a company's finances. Video game designers need money too.
Now, Steam, as far as I know, has little to no DRM in and of itself, the games might have DRM because the game designers who sell their games on Steam don't want people pirating them.

Punisher's histrionics aside, Valve (through Steam) has far more control over the gaming market than I feel comfortable with. With some games, they can (and do) lock people out of playing the games they've paid for. Say what you want about how most people don't have a negative experience, but the fact that this is even possible tells me that consumers no longer have the rights they ought to when they buy PC games.
I use Steam because there is simply no other way to get certain games, but I dislike the obtrusive client and avoid it when possible. Steam tries to run crap in the background. I have manually removed the "Steam Service." Every time I have to start the client, it lies to me that the service is required for Steam to function properly and tells me I should reinstall it; I ignore this, and it works fine.

Blu-ray IS scratch resistant is hard coated
HD itself is just High Definition not DRM where the hell are you getting this from?

HDMI.
As for blu-Ray being scratch resistant, that's still bullshit because I have Blu-Rays, duh.
And you haven't told me what Steam did to you that was so horrific that you have to bash it whenever it's mentioned.

You do understand that Wikipedia inst 100% accurate
I have HDMI cables on my 360 and I havent any trouble with it.
Blu-ray is scratch resistant its hard coated.

Just because Wikipedia isn't always accurate doesn't mean that particular article is wrong. Wiki's got rules now that edits have to be looked over, so I'm sure things there are somewhat more reliable. Just look up the term elsewhere. I'm not your teacher.
I was told by a salesman of home automation, home theater, and home security that HDMI was invented for DRM purposes. That article says so as well. Think that's good enough?
Saying Blu-Ray is hard coated a hundred million times means nothing to me. If a disc scratches, it scratches. I don't know what to tell you.

Pred, I've had an Xbox disc scratched to shit and it still worked, but the moment a blu-ray disc was lightly blemished, the disc wouldn't even read.

Good for you then.

Predisher, you can't be presented with evidence against you claim and respond with that line. It's just stupid.
At least not in a serious "debate" where you're just getting thrashed.

It wasnt My intention to have debate you clowns turned it into one all I wanted was the steam feature to be removed.

You call that "evidence"

Your intentions were clear. You posted this thread to whine about Steam for pretty much no reason at all. You should know by now that your threads spawn shit like this to happen.
If you want Steam gone from here, PM redink1. He'll say no by the way because there's no reason to. You're the only one with a problem with this, and it's for vague personal reasons with low-level DRM.
And, yes. I call it evidence, because I already know that a disc, no matter the disc, can be scratched. Oh, and check this out DO. YOUR. RESEARCH.

So much hate and ignorance lately.
Gotta expect that from a guy who once wrote down "hitler@rocks.com" as his email address and mentioned "greedy ,smelly, jew b#stards" earlier in the thread.

I had my reasons and you just ignored them and just turned this into a debate

I want NO DRM ,DRM is pathetic and evil and thats why I like CD project RED right now

Hard drives can be corrupted have you heard of corrupted data?

Corrupted data usually comes from user malignancy and/or viruses.
You had your reasons, and I addressed them. You're hiding behind "Oh, Gabe is EVIL" but providing zero reasons as to why.
You want no DRM. Fine. The Dink Network doesn't have it.
And, yes. I know that data can be corrupted. You must not have known until now since it's totally irrelevant.

I told you
Cool. But we were talking about DRM, not corrupted data.
Use GOG if you're so hurt over Steam's also non-intrusive DRM.
And you didn't say why. Present to me why you hate Steam besides "DRM is evil and Gabe is a Jew".

I'm not sure if this was mentioned because I skipped past the part where pred was posting, but I've always wondered why you could have your Xbox profile connected with your account here, but never one for your Playstation PSN profile. Some of us play Sony consoles too, you know
Yeah! I have a PSN and would not mind having some Dinkers as buddies.
Come on, everyone! Suggest, suggest, suggest! Give redink1 a HUGE work pileup!
PSN, post count, more user ranks, proper quoting, more smileys, image posting, underline text, animated avatars, custom signatures...
And above all else... redink1porn.

Steam is intrusive I dont want it on the DN

You don't use it, and like I said, it has zero direct effect on the DN. Why would it?

You are wrong.
and by the way, just to piss you off further since it's funny, I'm the reason it's there in the first place. I hope you hate me more now, sweetheart )
You dam right I hate you more you ruined this site.

I added the ability to hide social networks from TDN; If 'Hide Social Networks' is set to 'Yes' on your user profile, this means that any Facebook, Twitter, Xbox, and Steam features or icons will not be present on the site.
Steam was the most innocuous of the four; Facebook and Twitter had javascript running on every page of the site, which they could (and likely do) use to track people. Xbox had javascript running when you viewed a user profile. Steam was an icon and a third-party generated image on some user profiles.

Awesome, the site is getting more pimp every day!
Oh well I guess this is better then nothing.

Actually, believe it or not, things were going rather calmly here up until you started posting more again, and got back into manipulating others to post your hate for you.
But anyway, I guess you gotta expect that from a guy who for two years spammed the forum full of shit and hate, trying to basically destroy it, and who has displayed extreme signs of narcissism and difficulties in letting other people have their opinion and a little fun, earlier in this thread. I mean gee, the only difference between you and Punisher is your grammar.
I find it both hilarious and sad, that out of all the people here, you think you have any right to bash others for what they've done on this site. You name anyone who's done any wrong on this site, and you've done the exact same thing a hundred times worse. I'm wondering what the hell are you even doing here anymore. If this was any other site, you'd have a life-long ban.

I already don't have to read this whole idiotic little rant of yours to respond to it. Some members have bias. The end.
And wow, Predisher got something after whining for about 32 hours and then says "Oh, well. Better than nothing". What a fetus.

Know what? Nah, I'll respond since your arguments are just as stupid as Predisher's were -

Point number one, things were going slowly. Then redink1 came along, changed up the site a bit, is still doing it, and now I'm posting again and there's more discussion because people love to hate me. Go ahead, hate me, Skull. When have you never? It doesn't even affect me, it's just sad that you never drop things. And don't try to hide behind anymore arguments, because you were being a jackass in another thread when you insulted Kerrek and brought up "Uncle Skorn". Face it. You've got a raging hard on for wanting the old times back. Looks like you've got it now since you never let go of what happened years ago involving you pretty much doing what you do and me responding. The only reason you're so upset with me is that I spammed. Others call you out of your bullshit, Skull. It's not just me who's done it.

Aren't we technically at 6 years? Do your math.
You compare me to Predisher but say the only difference is our grammar... no, I don't see it. If you read the posts without your little bias goggles, you'll see that Pred was coming up with some pretty stupid arguments, even resorting to calling Gabe Newell a filthy Jew because he has an unexplained hatred for him.

You start fights on purpose because you like arguing all the dont you.
