It doesn't have to be a debate, if people are willing to accept that other people value different things and don't need to be converted to some other view. I happen to want to be able to play some of my GOG games at times when I don't have consistent internet access; I accept that my son prefers Steam and has good reason to do so. > But, it's been done here many times before, so I don't think I will.
