Steam is the worst thing that has ever existed, WORSE THAN HITLER

RAGE. It's not just the name of id's latest game. As it turns out, the name isn't so much of a metaphor as it is the actual physical product itself. Maybe that doesn't make much sense, but you have to understand that whatever the fuck is in that $60 dvd case, it sure the fuck isn't a god damned video game.

So, I've got this video game sitting here, right in front of me, and I can't play it. Why? I don't know. I've been searching for a solution for an hour now and nothing really works. What I've found out is terrifying. For one, the game isn't even on the fucking disc. I'm sorry, the three discs. For two, even if the game is installed on the fucking computer it WILL NOT RUN. FOR NO FUCKING REASON.

Just to reiterate:

 - The actual fucking game is sitting right FUCKING NEXT TO ME
 - It is already INSTALLED ON THE MOTHERFUCKING COMPUTER
 - Despite that, because I'm not the person who installed it, I can't PLAY OR EVEN INSTALL IT

I CAN'T PLAY A FUCKING GAME I HAVE SITTING RIGHT IN FUCKING GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF FAGGOT ASSED CUNT-SWALLOWING TURD WAFFLE SHIT-SUCKING BALL-LICKING FRONT OF ME.


So, unless this changes, I promise to pirate every single id game from now on. If it was the 90's, I'd probably put up with your shit, but it's not. We live in an age where anyone can pirate anything for any reason at any time from anywhere in the world. When you try to fuck around with your fans in such a horrible, sanity-scorching way, they have the option of completely undermining all your precious copy protection.

Listen, it's not like people wouldn't pirate the game anyways, I know they would. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that I, a loyal id fan since I was fucking SIX YEARS OLD is being cheated by a system I have no understanding of or willingness to participate in. When you can get any game for free simply by googling it, you've got to give people with good intentions, the ones who WANT to support you, a reason to do so. It's like Minecraft, people don't pay for Minecraft because they have to, they do it because they want to. There's no physical product there to pay for, it's a digital file, a SINGLE file that can be pirated so easy it's stupid. And yet the creator of Minecraft is fucking rolling in it, all because of the genuine support and admiration of his fans and... supporters.

And id has an enormous fanbase, and they release retail versions in stores. There is absolutely no reason for me to cheat the system for Rage. I've got the game right here, and I'm GOING to play it. Now, there is a way to solve this problem diplomatically, but after what I've seen today I'm convinced that I have to pirate the game, simply on a matter of principal. I have never felt so ripped off in my life. If you fuck me, I'm going to fuck you right back. And like I said, I already bought the fucking game.

Holy fuck I'm so fucking angry I could strangle a wolf with one hand. What the FUCK where they thinking?

I really, REALLY hope Doom 4 doesn't do this.

I'd elaborate on this more but I'm going to cool down for a while. You really have no idea how fucking stupid this whole thing is.
