Do you prefer to download PC Games off the internet or buy the DVD?

Thank you so much @Shagger ! When I have time, I'll try out your instructions. Like @Heatman said, I'm sure others would find it useful as well. Did you learn this on your own or stumbled on it?

 

I can't be sure, but I think I learned about this feature whilst trying to figure out how to make Fallout 3 work on a modern PC (That game truly is a certifiable nightmare when it comes to trying to get it to run on a modern system.). That's Steam's quality control for you. A game from one of the world's largest and most revered publisher/developers that you buy 100% legit on the most popular game service in world and it literally doesn't work. I figured it out eventually, but the experience of trying to get that to work is something I'd wish on nobody.

If that's the case mate, I'm not sure if you have any other options than to download whatever you need which is cool too.

Haha, it's not only alcohol we used for that too. I personally used water, white powder and Kerosene. It's a funny childhood experience. 

Kerosene?! What are you using it for - wood to start a campfire? 🤣

You would be very surprised with how much we try to improvise as kids growing up in trying to make things work for us. It's very funny.

Modern laptops and computers don't get the CD/DVD ROM these days.

Everything about PC and laptops are being upgraded to give a far more better user experience. We're in software era now.

@Shagger Want to update you on the instructions you gave for games. Unfortunately, it didn't work here but I had told some others & they were amazed at this little tip that they never heard of. They said to say Thank You So Much lol

[Heatman]

It's actually a very big knowledge that Shagger shared with the lot of us. I found it very useful personally and so with other people I passed it on it. I practically learnt about defragmentation by him.

Downloading is cheaper for me compared to buying PC or PS CD plates in the game shop. At times I get mobile data at a reduced cost to download PC games directly from the games store.

So how often do you download games?

Depending on the part of the world where you are located, some do get free internet Wi-Fi and have nothing to worry about internet data. I can remember my time in Duabi, it was awesome.

Getting data for downloading stuffs and surfing around the internet is affordable here. You can simply buy a WiFi to enjoy unlimited data subscription to enable you download your favourite games.

Well, if that's the case then you don't really have a anything to worry about in terms of data subscription for your game downloads.

PC game doesn't require much to download or buy CD games. If you're talking about PS4, PS5 consoles you'll spend money for the two to get better of it

There are some that doesn't come with a CD rom input, so you will definitely have to download your games.
