Steam, Origin, Battle.net ? Same, same. As long as I can install and play MY GAMES on MY COMUTERS, I couldn't care less about DRM. But ffs, GET THAT FEEKING OFFLINE-MODE WORKING !!! At least save login info so I can play in offline-mode.

Also steam desperately needs to allow putting different games on different drives.

eh, I have no one to teach me, college wants me to take a billion "filler" classes before they would let me take C++, so I'm having someone else handle the coding, its bit much to handle coding, writing plot, working with the team to flesh it out into sprites and 3-d models, and keeping the team motivated and working is a bit much for the first game so someone else will be handling it this time, I do at some point want to learn and head of that aspect, but I got bills to pay and -$35K to pay it with, so I don't really have the luxury of time and money to be wasting I do encourage you to learn coding though its very useful skill
