UPlay has other publishers games (e.g. Fossil Hunters by Reptoid Games is on Steam and Uplay). So does Origin (all three Witcher games are on there).

I didn't know that, but it changes nothing, despite that they're very far from what steam is now.

A lot of stuff is broken on Steam though. I'm capable of finding the fixes, but I shouldn't have to do it. Some games are seriously screwed up.. I'm not sure why Valve approves of them. All of my Thiefs, Deus Ex, Jagged Alliance, etc needed major patches or even no-CD hacks. Just to mention some.

FreedomEclipseThis is Bethesda's 'Golden Goodbye' to steam and its inhabitants as it prepares to embark on an epic journey of self discovery, online services, buggy base games and questionable business practises.

Fare~thee~well

Oh and while im tooting my own horn about Bethesda embarking on a journey with 'questionable business practises' -- Theyve already begun.....

They havent even pushed the boat out yet and already they are looking to leave a very very very bad taste in peoples mouths


I f**king called it folks.

Well now, he’s quite angry! Epic rant. :D

Bethesda is rapidly falling down my list.

Bethesda would have to make uninteresting or shitty games for me to avoid them.. which they do from time to time.

Like I said in another thread:

I care about games. Not where they come from. Not the hardware or launcher or some executive decision on Amazon that has no bearing on content. GAMES.

If said executive decisions badly effect the gameplay - for example, some of EA's decisions... then I'm out. But that's not the case with all big publishers. Or their decisions.

How anyone gets sidetracked by anything other than gameplay, when discussing games, is beyond me. As if it's some whole sphere of concerns about "the industry". It is not.

Hes quite a cool guy. Not quite on the same level as TotalBiscuit. but without TB i wouldnt of have found Jim Sterling. Some people dont like him because of his character or the way he reports things, but its his persona to be a little bit snobby and arrogant like that.

Just about every publisher or developer at some point has tried to shut him down due to how honest and outspoken he is when critiquing or reviewing games. In one case some one-man-in-his-basement asset flipper indie dev from Russia tried to sue him for millions because he gave his game a bad review.

Just about every major publisher hates him because he calls out anti-consumer and bulls**t practises from them when he sees it.

its not that he's angry, Its just how he is :) He swears and rants about stuff a hell of a lot but he means well and his heart is always in the right place.
