Once the account has been made, the barrier to more services is lowered.
PlayStation is likely going to want to make their own store on PC at some point.
they say they bought Tango and Hi-Fi rush because they thought the art was worth keeping alive, not because it would make money.
The title says how it’s not about money, but about (presumably) Tango’s legacy. So… their art. It’s the same thing.
I mean, that’s what the title says?
It isn’t all that clickbait-y.
Win + R isn’t the terminal but rather the run command.
We’ll find someone else to blame, like women!
Wait, no–
As a neutral nation you need to have some way to ensure that neutrality as there is no NATO or other group of nations to have your back.
Hence the military spending.
The post is about the Steam version of Space Marine 2 shipping with Epic services. This was done for cross play.
The initial comment I replied to was about “why don’t they ship Steam services with the Epic version instead.”
I’m saying that Steam services don’t exist in such a way (to my knowledge).
I have expressed no want. The user I was originally responding to appears to want cross play not through Epic.
Are you misunderstanding me on purpose?
The post:
Space Marine 2’s Epic Games client on Steam is for crossplay, confirms publisher
The comment I’m replying to:
Then make the Epic version include Steam instead of vice-versa
My comment: I don’t think that’s possible because I don’t think Steam offers their services/a mini-client in the way you’re proposing.
Yeah, but, the argument here was about including some sort of Steam client with the EGS version of the game. And I’m saying I don’t think Steam offers a “stripped-down” client like Epic, EA, Ubisoft and others do.
Games launching from Steam wasn’t the point here. It was about games launching from Epic (or any non-Steam store for that matter).
Correct. But what was proposed here was a game outside of Steam using Steam’s services, which I believe isn’t a thing.
Ryan McBeth mentioned in his video (13min) them not disclosing receiving funds from a foreign backed entity was, indeed, the legal issue.
But does Steam offer a “mini-launcher” to be used on other platforms?
Maybe they do, but if so I’ve never heard of it.
(Which isn’t me defending Epic, just wondering if it is at all feasible)
Not the point I was making.
This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"
Did Linus blame anyone though?
No. He simply stated a fact.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t piracy?
Downloading old Nintendo ROMs because the company refuses to redistribute them is also piracy, even though I would say it’s morally justified.
Its protection.
From your point of view, yeah. Not from the point of view of the creator and the platform.
Linus isn’t clutching his pearls nor is he crying, he’s just pointing out you are circumventing the method of payment to the platform. It is detrimental to both the platform and the creator. That is a fact. Your choice has an impact and you should be aware of that.
But at no point did he say “you’re a bad person if you use adblock”.
What has got you so worried?
True. But as long as that isn’t the case, may as well fix the wording and raise awareness.
