Steam coming to consoles?
Probably.
The Video Game industry is the ONLY one with a no return policy. If there was a return policy and these companies had to start eating their money like regular industry did for messed up, shit games, you'd see the whole industry turn around.
And In reality, it's just PC games that suffer the no return policy. Consoles have companies that act just like regular companies do and do returns and resales.(which is why xbox wants to go all digital and remove the ability to resale games. Fuking Money grubbing CEOs)
Steam's Big Picture mode is the first step towards moving to the Television and integrate the gaming experiences. Consoles games could be resold because you needed the physical media, on PC you don't. I can understand that. But now companies are moving to the "Cloud" because they have seen that it will allow them to charge more for less of a product. (Yes less because you have to be always online, which is bullshit for a standalone product). Google news "Photoshop" and see what I'm talking about.
Bottom line is, unless we want a future where you pay a subscription for every piece of software you own, oh excuse me, RENT, and must be online always in order to use it, we have got to boycott these companies and hit them in their stock price until more CEO's like EA's get laid off from their jobs. Oh for the FYI, after EA's CEO got canned, Sims 4 has been announced as a single player offline game for 2014 release. Surprise? No. Vote with your dollars people. Withhold them for the shit "Cloud enhancements" and make titles like Sims 4 with single player offline wildly successful. I'm going to buy it and not because I actually want it (though I'll give it to my kids), but because I want to send a message. Keep single players offline and make gobs of money, or suffer the loss of revenue when you don't.
