Where SteamOS for ARM? 😮‍💨

If you look closely at the screenshot, there's no monitor selection.

Why? Its 7.3MP. Easy as that.

Without data points it won't, but there will be 12 other people in the world with your PC and monitor. They will do the work for you.

yeah, good luck estimating the FPS on my 5120x1440 monitor.

Interesting. I can add " [Steamworks Development] " on the title next time so that people know it's for developers, but I'll wait more people comment on it before making any changes.

This seems to be geared towards developers, my summary is: steam was previously telling developers people received notification of their game being on sale because it was on somebody's wishlist and it went on sale, however if the person who wish listed the game had more than 25 games on their wishlist go on sale at the same time they would have not actually received an email notification.

This feels like it will not affect end users in the slightest.

Where's the April fools?

in-Steam NFTs on external platforms would help

I am not saying "it would help" anyone that is getting scammed.
All I am saying is that if Valve is talking about consumer rights, it's not actually giving them that.

Banks try to help prevent you from getting scammed (at least here they do), but you still hold the final say if you really want to pay the scammer. You can just withdraw cash and hand it over to them. That is what the right to transfer means.

I am not at all talking about Valve's supposed duty to protect people from being scammed, because my point is that them giving the user the "right to transfer" means that Valve should not even be in a position to stop a scam from happening. In that case, all they would be able to do is suggest guidelines to users one how to prevent themselves from getting scammed and it is the users' decision whether they care to read it or not.

I agree with you except for the part where trading in-Steam NFTs on external platforms would help. I have a hunch it would only open people for more scamming and losing money, but I'm not certain if it will. Maybe a better way would've been to forbid selling those for real money at all, but that would hurt Valve's profit so it will not happen

It's probably just Valve's competitors trying to dig up anyone they can to use to sue them, so that Valve has to reduce their work on Linux.
Microsoft probably asked their AI how to 1up Valve and got this solution.

They probably realised that the more funding that is available to Linux devs the faster their meticulously crafted backdoors would be found out and make it harder to spy on Linux users.

This article does well at dispersing the rhetoric of "Valve brought gambling to the gaming scene".
Gambling and gatcha have been there for quite a while. Valve just spread it all over the world, before the Japanese gatcha companies could capture other markets and Valve made it much more convenient for people to lose their money on it.

Transferability is a right we believe should not be taken away

That's the real BS here.
This is the same language other "normal" companies use, to continue their evils. Guess the Valve PR people graduated from the same school.
If Valve wanted to let people transfer their NFTs, they would let them do so over other platforms. But they really just want the transaction fee profits. While that part may bring them NYAG points, it's not getting "me" points.

Well, yeah.
That's the main legally sound way to affect legislative decisions.

Lootboxes are gambling though, even if those exist IRL and are not required for playing.

Transferability is a right we believe should not be taken away, and we refuse to do that

Valve takes a cut of every 'transfer' between users involving money, and they don't allow transferability of games, the main thing people would want to transfer. If you're going to pretend like you're trying to help consumers by giving them control over their digital content, don't just do it for the type of content that makes you money.

With that said, I'm definitely on Valve's side with this. Age verification and anti-VPN spyware is all bullshit. Too bad I'm not a NY resident.

“disappointed to see the NYAG make that claim after working to educate them”.

Isn’t that just lobbying?

If the people creating this music did not feel that they were being fairly compensated, then why did they not just ask for more from the people actually making the games? That seems like the simplest solution.

Thats pretty fucking cool! This will get more and more relevant considering how the releases of badly optimized UE5 slop is ramping up.

I'm confused as to what you're unsure of, but WC3 = Warcraft 3, SC2 = Starcraft 2.

The base games were fine, but the real good stuff was the modding community with flavor of the month games, where DOTA and Legion TD were the undisputed perennial favorites.

Now I'm going to stop shaking this cane and take my morning constitutional.

Damn. Their video show of some old bangers. I own so many of them. Maybe time for a revisit for some of them. Just need more time. A lot of it.

In English, please?

If you need a solid competitive TD, check out Legion TD 2.

If you've played the WC3 mod Legion TD, or the SC2 mod Squadron TD, this is basically the same. It's actually made by Lisk & Jules, the original creators of Legion TD in WC3, and a bunch of other maps/mods from the old Blizzard games.

They are the same thing in practice, but they don't have proof of exchanges between executives talking about getting kids hooked on card packs like they do with loot boxes.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the obvious connection being made after the case if NY wins.

I wonder. What about booster packs for trading card games?

I don't quite see how is this related to kicking fascist, beside trying to appeal to people in these trying times
