Steam itself is not DRM. Steamworks can be, but not always.

Steam is still a DRM.

Steamworks is also a DRM

But steam is a DRM too

No it isn't. Steam is just a store.

Your generation is more recent than mine. Therefore nothing good or even okay, has or ever will come from your generation.

Bro, technically steam itself is just dlc.

Actually, steam is a DRM in itself

Steam is just a distribution platform. Steamworks has DRM, but it's not mandatory for publishers to use it.

Calm your sizeable manly tits.

That doesn't change a thing.

It makes it worse, actually.

France really should have had a much stricter immigration policy. Letting in people who have no intention of adapting to your culture is a terrible idea.

How so?

Focusing more on spectacle than gameplay. Pandering to certain players. Paying more attention to competive balance than fun. Making games shorter and faster to appeal more to spectators. etc.

That used to be my stance too, same with literal vs localized translations. i.e. fansubs > official subs. But as I got older the convenience of dubs finally won me over. Pros and cons and all that. I sacrificed the literal understanding of the work for the ease of viewing.

but da voice acting in weeb language iz good

Ironically, the more weeb language you begin to understand, the worse you realize the original voice acting is.

But Trove wasn't PVP when it first came out, which is what I'm getting at.

Did they shift the entire focus of the game from PVE to PVP or something?

Last time I checked MMO's were mostly PVE with optional/endgame PVP

Last time I checked MMO's were mostly PVP with some PVE tacked on just so PVPers can find people to gank.

Can you still lose parts though? A "legendary" seems kind of worthless if it can just get destroyed and you'll have to buy it back with real money or change your design.

no, you can't lose them in battle, you'll regain your bot fully with all parts after death

Hmm. Might be worth a try then.

no,you get crates (opened) dropped to you after every battle, but you can pay for a lot of really high-tiered ones. 2$ = a guaranteed legendary part
