If you havent bought warband yet, now is your chance. 20 hrs remaining. Tell your friends.

diavel said:Yes, yes, to be totally fair Steam is surely a nice invention for human enjoyment. By Steam I mean Internet game store - not annoying application that I uninstalled right after retrieving the serial key for Warband.
It seemed to be too complicated for my simple brain. I naively purchased a copy from one of Polish (that's my country) stores. I wanted to have a box, a cd and a little book, from no rational reason. To my surprise cd, besides the game itself, contained steam application; and I didn't get serial key for warband at first. I had to install steam and then install warband from steam application. I will never buy any game from that store again.JamesHardaker said:with steam you can browse the web while waiting to respawn without tabing out. You can chat to your friends on steam without tabing out while playing. I can see why that would be anoying.
Also, why didnt you buy warband from this website? Taleworlds would probably get more money.
You've been able to do the same thing with X Fire for years. And it supports far more games, and includes screenshot, streaming and video to boot.JamesHardaker said:with steam you can browse the web while waiting to respawn without tabing out.

What's annoying about steam application? Well it's just that I don't need any advertising application running in background and doing things I have no way to check. Besides there was some weirdness about updates - they're always too late. So I got serial key from steam application and downloaded the newest version from taleworlds.net. So, yeah, that's my story, my friend. Now I'm older and trying to make my life back to normal.
Now you have to admit you sound like a PR/marketing person from steam. Nothing wrong with it if you are, though. Cheers.
You got offended because I stated my opinion on some application? What are you? Oh wait I know - you're that barman that makes websites currently. Behold my army of over 6.5 billion people not using steam. Chill out. Steam store is cool for their prices but application is really just advertising (spying?) software really not doing anything that I personally need. And it runs all the time in the background. I just hate advertising. In what way steam is excellent software? Can your barmanness kindly elaborate and not just state supposed tautologies like it's a part of your religion? It's nothing wrong if it is though, tool.JamesHardaker said:no im not. But valve have done more for pc gaming than any other company out there. Show respect you tool. Steam is excellent software (i am a software developer) and 2 million people right now using steam agree with me.
OK I may be silly but:GrandmaFunk said:to be fair, saying steam is an advertisement application and that it "does stuff you don't know about" is very very silly.
So there are ads. I don't have any other application that puts advertisements. Application that puts ads in front of my eyes is advertising application.GrandmaFunk said:the "ads" are extremely minimal(and exclusively limited to awesome game sales, such as this, and new game announcements)
And you know it how? I simply say - I have no idea to find out.GrandmaFunk said:and it isn't some thinly disguised malware app...
Yes, I know it's an excellent application and a great tool for PC gamers. I read it. Could you explain it in more detail what's so excellent and great about it? I would gladly change my mind.GrandmaFunk said:it's a great tool for PC gamers.
Thank you for your allowance.GrandmaFunk said:you not wanting to use it is perfectly fine
