Well just remember the floaters that got flushed received what they did for a reason. Now they are forever sentenced to follow me from thread to thread, making what I write their new religion as they dutifully follow me, yet I only occasionally have to smell the likes of them when someone quotes them, and even then I rarely read their drivel. Are you really surprised that a competitor of Steam would potentially label products available through both services in a way that benefits them more than Steam? Amazon benefits by putting a negative spin on Steam by calling the authentication portion DRM. I knew you were well-medicated but I really thought you were smart enough to recognize that much.
