I don't care if a game is Indie or AAA - as long as it is good.


It is impossible to play more than a few thousand games over a lifetime.


Each game that requires online servers to be playable will be unplayable one day. Each game that needs external servers for parts of its functionality will loose this functionality one day. External servers will be turned off. It is not a question IF, but only WHEN.

When Gamespy closed its doors, hundreds of games lost their multiplayer functionality. EA turns off multiplayer servers of its games sometimes 2 years after release . When activation servers are turned off, games become unstartable. Single Player games that require a permanent internet connection are the best of the bunch...

Some of my now worthless boxed games: Age of Empires Online, BattleForge, Darkspore, Battlefield 2142, Hellgate: London and a lot MMOs...


When Steam turns off its servers, your game collection is gone. And no, there won't be a way to still download or even play them.

I already hated those copy protected floppies from the 80s, I hated copy protected CDs and DVDs from the last decade (with systems like Starforce, TAGES, SafeDisc and SecuROM... ), and I hate todays account-bound rental games, where the paying customer is completely depending on the publisher (who can retire or change a game at any time) and the DRM-client provider (like Valve).

Games Republic, Gamesrocket, Gametap, Get Games, Desura, Indie Royale, Gamesload.de, Bundle in a Box, Shiny Loot, Gamefly, Direct2Drive and Impulse are just a few closed clients/resellers, often taking their downloads with them. How long will Valve last?


You buy a product that is not yet finished. It can be good or it can be a complete dud.


A year later you get the GOTY edition with all DLCs, patched and for -75%. The only reason to buy a game at release might be if you want to join multiplayer, which has generally the highest population close after release.


The quality of a game does not always correlate with its release date. While widescreen or 4k screen support, XBox Controller, cloud saves and high-end graphics are good, games without any of those can be fun as well.


You only find out when you need him.


It certainly is fun to receive an achievement (or 100% of them) in a game you enjoy, but for me this will never be the reason I play a game. I have not found a use for badges or Steam levels so far as well.


Replaying a game I initially finished without cheating using a 100% achievement guide is kind of strange for me. I mostly play games for the fun of playing...
