Steam and Fallout: New Vegas

Yeah Great Stuff :(

I hate Steam,.... becauseof the fact that it's nothing more than a customer anoiance and a cheap excuse to reduce production costs for the Corps AND the fact that it makes it impossible to resell my license (which is perfectly legal in Germany,... well at least it was before the recent high court verdict from the Software Nazis came out which terminated resell rights for "Downloadable content" once and for all ! :( ),

There is actually another thing that freaks me out about this whole Steam garbage.

I used to import my Games from the Yanks (which increased the shipping costs by quite a margin) because quite frankly our domestic Game Versions are nerfed down to Mickey Mouse Level in terms of Screen Violence (we have to thank the other bunch of Nazis from the Game Censorship Board for this by the way !!)

That means: No Gore, no Blood (well at least we get Boobs :) but considering that this game is made in the US of A i fear there will be a serious lack of naked Chicas :) ).

I could play AVP3 (which wasnt even released in Germany because some [censored] figured it could irritate the youngster !).

But what if Steam suddenly decides that a US Fallout Version cant be activated from a German IP Adress ? Id say i am fooked then,... cause i certainly wont spend a penny on the German crap Version they will come up with !!

This is really dissapointing to say the least. My Favourite Game series of all times comes to an end because of some [censored] controll Software..... Hell i am 30 and i feel like i am living in [censored] North Korea when it comes down to PC Games.

I might even apply for Citizenship there,... cause my German one aint worth [censored] anymore these days :(.

Damn,.......



As an alternative i considered getting a green card,... but considering the fact that i can see about 4 tags in this posting allready i guess i stick to north Korea then ......

You know whats worst about censorship ?

The worst thing about censorship is actually [censored] !!!!!

the need for CD is irrelevant, you always will forever have the CD...
... I know until the end of time, and as long as i keep a machine with windows 7 or lower up and running i can play every gamesas game ever made.... with Fallout: New Vegas i have no guarantee... im basically long term renting the game... yes there is a slight chance there might be ways around it i the future but that's not the point.. the point is i will always and forever need to "ask permission" to play the game in the future when i install...


The need for CD is irrelevant... Unless you lose or scratch your disk, in which case you have NO recourse (except with NV, which you will be able to re-download from Steam, even if you bought retail).

If you are going to keep a Win7 PC running until the end of time (and want to play NV until the end of time), you could just keep NV installed, and you can run it forever with Steam in offline mode once you do your install activation.

Really, some of you guys are blowing this out of proportion. I can understand the guys who want to play a different region version of the game, but that is more of a problem with your government.
