I hope they get flattened, digital patents should not be legal - especially vague ones that can be applied across dozens of different categories.

The story of this patent troll is classic example of flying too close to the sun. They had their scam working and were making great money from it with no one pushing back. Then they got lazy and greedy and it looks like it may flatten them entirely.

Why not at all human, now please give ol real Mr. krabs the secret formula

For a second I thought this post was robot spam

Hey, Sweeny. This is why nobody uses EGS. They have a monopoly because they add user friendly features that make people want to use the platform.

Oh, I though those are the same. AFAIK the 2021 version was never on Steam.

From a quick check, it looks like they only added a DLC, but most of the game is the same. EDIT: And some QoL updates, endgame and the like, which is all content of the DLC, but you are right!

Released yesterday, you're thinking about the non Infernal edition.

IIRC it has been on the Battle.net store (and consoles) for quite some time now. Wiki puts it's release date on 2021.

I literally had no idea this was in the works - got a bit of nostalgia yesterday and could not find the disc, well patient gamer wins again, I'll grab it on GOG for 5 bucks or something... it's oddly missing... hmmm... go over to steam, $40, WTF??? Then I look and the release date was literally that morning. DAAMMMIITTT!!

TL;DR They dont know yet

I don't know how humble bundle works, but I get a fair amount of steam keys for much below the steam store price.

There is a clause in the Steam EULA or TOS or something for publishers/developers that states you can not OFFER STEAM KEYS for less than the price you sell the game on Steam.

It absolutely does NOT prevent launching your game on 2 different platforms at diffrtent prices, so long as any secondary stores are not offering a Steam key to own it on Steam.

Dipshit Sweeny is basically illiterate.

The only "proof" that it really is exactly as Sweeny describes, is the word of the dev of Overgrowth, a known liar and scammer, who has been in a legal battle over his claims that Valve delisted one of his games over a price difference on anothet store for years now with nothing being proven.

Have you seen the prices of indie games coming out? Many are $5 to $20 and are far better than AAA games. What argument do they have that's preventing games lowering their prices?

If they dig into this, I'm sure they'll find greedy publishers to be the problem.

Gives them his support but hasn't filed the lawsuit himself. Probably because he knows he'd lose.

Comment for mod

Afaik it hasn't been announced yet, I wouldn't be surprised if they're trying to avoid commitment until they have a plan to deal with the wonderful shortages in an attempt to keep it's pricing as low as possible

Where’s the steam machine/steam frame/steam controller release event?

I've been playing with Bazzite (and previously Chimera) in the living room for years. Text size is not a problem.

yee idk I never fell for a scam but every time a scammer account tries to add me, they have hundreds of hours in csgo or other f2p games, profile level 10 and are decked out on cosmetics

Make new account to scam people -> farm points through ragebait -> buy cosmetics to seem more legit -> scam more effectively. Legit accounts don't need the points as they usually drown in them anyways like you said

Glad to see it. So many discussions that were just anti woke spam or add lgbt flag bait posts.

Hindsight can be a powerful thing Just because something seemed beneficial or good in the moment, does not mean it actually was. And even if it was, if the guy reflected on it and decided he didn't support it anymore, that's his choice to make.

Why? He claims there is no benefit yet wouldn't have his own game without it.
