And internet data caps, and subscriptions slowly adding in playtime limits to existing users

Oh and probably some pitch for surveillance oh sorry I meant age verification 🙄

Incoming slow pitch questions and a slap on the wrist at most

“mistakenly” flags democrat registered voters? I can only assume

While true to an extent, one is still very clearly vastly worse than the other and until a third option actually has a legitimate chance to tip the scales… Come on. I don’t like it either but that’s just the way it is still

Is that the bite of '87?

This has to be bait but one side was complacent with fascism. One side is actively pushing it at a breakneck Pace. That told us exactly what they were going to do and are now doing just that

After hearing other sides, I kind of take steam side on this lawsuit. For one, cross-platform DLCs are not technically possible. The DLC has to authenticate with the base license access, the cloud saves and every other system. It’s the same way on consoles. You can’t buy the PS5 game and then expect to buy the DLC on Xbox or something… it’s just not how that works.

As for the not allowing the games to be permanently priced cut on other stores, steam offers discoverability like no other platform offers as well as the achievements the reviews the workshop. It prevents someone from listing their game on steam for all the benefits it offers but then sending users to other platforms to get it cheaper.

There have been things steam has done wrong in the past that have been righted with lawsuits but I don’t really feel like this particular thing is a anti-competitive practice as much as just having a more feature-rich platform and not letting that be taken advantage of without getting something back.

The only real issue I have with valve is using drm but that’s not changing anytime soon

I will preface with. I know nothing about how things work… but I suppose there might be potential in if that goes through that there’s less money to put towards things like Linux development and may have to raise price on steam machine even more… that’s just a potential negative that comes to mind
