Steam Verification Crap

Why do I always the fuck have to:

<verify my age

<verify my email

First off, there should be a place in settings to enter my DOB so that I don't have to do this all the time.

And email I can understand sometimes, but all the fucking time?

What's an alternative? They seem to have somewhat of a monopoly on online game sales.

Like everyone said, it's a shitty fucking botnet that sells you licenses to play games, that they can retract at any time.

I get that normalfags are far too retarded to care about that kind of thing, but what I don't understand is how they can put up with how unusable the actual fucking software is. I used to use it years back, for a brief time, and every single day, it would need to update something, no fucking exception. How the fuck is that acceptable?

Piracy is not feasible these days with games in the 4-10+ gig range. There's also too much bullshit involved in finding the perfect torrent. Overall, too much of a pia to pirate. Now old games are another story as it's relatively quick to torrent a couple hundred megs

Always put your age as the earliest date on the list.

So the statistics they collect make it seem like loads of 90 year olds are playing the game.

Nigger, I'm the type of lazy faggot to just go to the fucking Pirate Bay and get the first or second torrent that pops up, and I pretty much never have issues. What the fuck are you on about?

>Piracy is not feasible these days with games in the 4-10+ gig range.

Most Pirate Bay torrents download faster than Steam games, from my experience.

If it can be pirated, pirate it.

If it can't be pirated, avoid it until it can be pirated.

Retards who probably shouldn't be using the internet lost their steam accounts through obvious scams enough times for Valve to take action. Email verification is their safety net of choice to prevent account hijackers from getting anything out of you.

What? You have to download it either way, and torrent aren't any slower than steam.

It's actually less of a hassle than finding, buying, and downloading a game on steam.

You can thank DRM for that though occasionally there's a hypernewfag in the share threads that doesn't know how to download a torrent or mount an iso.
