The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I don't want to tie my current Origin account to Steam, so this is great going forward ...may even repurchase 2-3 during a sale. [Edit: Just realized I probably can't have 2 Origin installs {
...I'm still waking up}. Not sure if it will force old account or allow additional guest creation anyway.]
It would be nice if Bethesda, R* and Ubisoft [...mostly Bethesda] followed suit as this seems like just the workaround to my no new game clients/accounts rule.
Trying to figure out exactly how this works. I refuse to let another scumbag player force me to buy games through another portal, sign in to another service, etc. I wont buy the new Star Wars game for instance unless I can do it on steam without signing in to any other service. I'm done with that crap: GOG or Steam, pick one. No, I don't give a crap if they care or not, I vote with my wallet and stick to it.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
