woelkchen, do gaming w EA being EA
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

I hate to be the advocate of EA here but I’m convinced it’s because FIFA is not allowing them to use the trademark any longer and the mentioned loopholes are either permitted by FIFA or will be closed soon.

It’s not like Valve played no role in this.

I never claimed otherwise.

This still negatively impacts consumers.

Some consumers maybe. It will benefit others.

Had you cared to read the fucking article.

I did and unlike you I even understood it.

That would prevent someone in, say, Germany buying a cheaper key in Latvia, where prices are lower.

ACTIVATION KEYS from key retailers. It’s not about prices within the Steam storefront.

Yeah, it’s really going to help the citizens of the poorer EU countries when they have to pay the same high prices as their higher earning neighbours.

Had you cared to even read the one-line summary, you’d know it’s not about different prices within Steam but about activation keys.

Yes, that’s what I wrote in a reply to my comment.

Publishers have been known to add that info one or two days before release in the past.

Oh fuck:

They mention always-online but not in the regular sidebar box but super tiny in the requirements.

The Steam page does not mention Denovo nor always-online DRM. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Edit: …steampowered.com/…/Tony_Hawks_Pro_Skater_1__2/ So you don’t have to visit Twitter/X.

Anyone else find the wording odd? ‘This. Is. Epic.’

I think it’s supposed to be word play.

It cannot possibly be the fault of a shitty software and it must be me…

If you were correct, there’d be widespread reports of crashes. While no software is always free of bugs, if a piece of software is crashing for you all the time and hardy for everybody else, it’s the logical conclusion that the underlying problem is on your side, probably by installing unstable drivers.

Epic had 0.00001% of the market.

The numbers for Fortnite, available on EGS but not Steam, tell otherwise.

@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

You have no proof that it isn’t either 🤷

The proof, that I already mentioned, is the fact that no antitrust agency anywhere convicted Valve of anything related to monopoly.

That comes from your own source buddy.

You continue to deflect that you have no proof that Steam is a monopoly.

As a video game store they are the biggest one in term of total users and number of games for sale, are you questioning that?

How many users get Fortnite from Epic Games Store and how many get Minecraft from Microsoft Store? What does the “Trust me, bro” line of evidence say about those? None of you provide anything facts-based after all…

The only thing Valve has done was release the Steam Client to Linux.

*countless improvements Valve engineers have made to the the Mesa OpenGL and Vulkan drivers as well as to the kernel graphics driver components. Not just to the AMD graphics drivers for benefiting the Steam Deck’s hardware but also to Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan and then other common infrastructure. But in this area of the Linux graphics driver support, Valve’s contributions and those of their partners have been incredibly beneficial to the Linux desktop ecosystem even outside gaming. *

30% is fucking highway robbery for a distributor. The only reason they get away with it is because they’re a monopoly and devs have no choice but to publish games there.

googles “epic games exclusives”

“no choice”… huh…
