Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Ever hear of “Chase Two Rabbits, Catch None”? Reminds me of George R. R. Martin talking about writing the last two ASOIAF books at the same time. Just… finish your fucking product please.
Games are the only software I purchase these days
If I was a newbie shopping around for a DE, I would probably be perusing websites like kde.org to get a feel for the visual style and features and such
If Microsoft had 3% market share on Steam, they probably would
Is there anything stopping something like connecting your credit card to GNOME Software Manager and then putting a big fat “donate” button next to the “install” button? I imagine there are legal considerations.
Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it’s crazy. A NES game in today’s money would be around $160.
This is just CS:GO finally evolving from the CoD brown-tinged visuals of 2007-2013
All you do is update your current system, change your repo sources to whatever branch you want, then do a full-upgrade. For branches there is stable, testing, and unstable (called sid). They don’t recommend you use sid for everyday use, things can be buggy (currently sid is on GNOME 44 at any rate). Instructions
Counter Strike has been the same game for 23 years, basically every new game is an “update”. Porting the game to Source 2 is the single biggest thing that has happened to Counter Strike since 2004 when they moved from GoldSrc, so might as well brand it as a new game.
Square really the type of company to remake a game twice, only for one to be a little less than faithful (to say the least) and the other to be a gacha cashgrab.
Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.
Technically I believe latest Ubuntu LTS and SteamOS (specifically on the Steam Deck) are the only officially supported distros for Steam
I think it’s closer to 45, might be a typo
Obviously that’s a stigma Capcom is trying to break through. Most phones/tablets these days are even more powerful than a Switch, yet people pay $60 for games on the Switch but not on phones?
…why would it cost less? It’s $60 everywhere else.
…wow, that’s it? For a CEO that’s nothing comparably. Capcom is a huge company.
I used to just seed Epic exclusives. Now there aren’t any Epic exclusives*. Coincidence? I think not.
*Other than Kingdom Hearts grrr
The quote you’re giving me is Valve-speak for "we were cool with your double-dipping DRM back when it was free for us but we now would prefer you don’t add it to your game because it makes it harder for us to sell your games
Sounds good to me.
on Steam Deck where we control the whole platform".
Ah yes, the closed platform known as the Steam Deck. So closed that Valve gives you the tools to remove Steam from it entirely if you so wish.
You absolutely don’t own your Steam games. Those go away with your account, unless you’re actively extracting and repackaging those files for backup.
So then backup your games. Who cares if it’s against the EULA, big bad evil Valve will not find out and even if they did they would not stop you. If Valve wanted to actually stop you from doing that, they could and they would.
It is absolutely a piracy mitigation tool
What is? Steam or Steam DRM? These are two completely different things. Steam DRM is not piracy mitigation tool.
you are not allowed or able to install or play your games without online verification as a general rule.
So basically you want Steam to provide you the installer in addition to the game yourself, that’s a valid criticism. The other one not so much, I play Steam games offline literally all the time.
The notion that multiple people here are questioning the fact that Steam’s DRM is, in fact, DRM
You are just putting words in my mouth, I never implied that at all.
It’s a testament to their PR, for sure
…what PR? lol, Valve isn’t exactly known for it’s constant customer-facing communication… All of my links came from Steamworks documentation for developers.
It didn’t take a genius to understand that the real piracy dampener for PC gaming was availability, price and convenience rather than technically profiicent DRM
Yeah no shit, you think? It’s almost like “piracy is a service issue”…
Valve invented or perfected DRM

The branding exercise required to do that and still be perceived as a fan-favorite, user-first company should get a TON more credit than it does in marketing schools worldwide.
You are talking about a company that revealed CS2 by shadow-dropping three YouTube videos and proceed to not give any updates for three months. Marketing geniuses indeed, lmao.
I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill. Steam DRM does not effect me negatively in any way, you are doing a pretty bad job justifying why I should hate it with every fiber of my being like you seem to.
A popular streamer Lirik revisited the game 4 months ago and it was completely chocked-to-the-brim with bugs. Like literally every few minutes there was a bug, including several immediately when he began the game.
