It's nice because I can own it forever. The only issue is, do they do that thing Steam does where you have to be logged into the webbernets to play the game? That'll kill playing it in long road trips on my laptop... I suppose I could get some sort of spoofer app that pretends to be the Gametap/Steam servers and tricks the thing into thinking it's online so I can play my games that way. Those exist right? I've yet to look into those, but I think I want to. I'll also need those if ever these two services went down forever. I own those games, I'm playing them! That's what I'm saying.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
