Maybe because of >Facebook, Twitter, etc. That is true, most of the volume has transferred to other mediums. That is very sad, blogs etc tend to get so much worse signal/noise ratio than here in usenet. Of course, even back then there were newsgroup trolls, but not as bad as today. I kept a blog for a short while, but it got attacked by a bot which filled my quota in a heartbeat - about 5000 messages in few hours - so I just had to discontinue it. >everything was ok, but I don't think most of their games are DRM, but maybe >some are. Steam requires their client to be active in the background just about on all of their games, even if playing in offline-mode. Ditto Origin (they give out one game per month for free to play, but require you to register and use their account and client every time). That's why I don't use either of them.
