    I mean yeah.

    I had to install some program and connect online to PLAY A SINGLE PLAYER GAME? I have the CD already and entered my CD key. Why does it need validation?

    This is surely the death of PC gaming.

      Oh MAN. I forgot about those times, hand typing in a 36 character CD key that was spat out by a dot matrix printer with questionable typeset legibility…

      To be fair, 2005-2009 felt like a Death of PC Gaming since people stopped making PC Ports of games out of fears that that just invited piracy.

      RIP games with no Steam release like Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard and Enchanted Arms

      Hope ports happen some day.
