Lmao Valve made a service so good at what it does, it's fucking over all these other business ghouls like Tim Sweemey who are actively trying to dominate the market without actually competing; just look at Epic's store, it's d o g s h i t. They give out free games and still no one I know wants to use it. It's the same across the board, these companies do not want to make good services, they want to legally strongarm the consumer.
I'll tell you a secret) nowadays ALMOST all corporations regardless of what they make business into wanna strongarm the consumer, for quick example look up denuvo and baldurs gate, if product is good then people will buy and denuvo won't be needed
GOG has shown that drms are never needed. More often than not, denuvo causes issues to the player, and gets bypassed by a pirate easily. It is simply there because gamedev companies think they get something out of it, when in reality they don't.
Denuvo isn't easily bypassed, unfortunately. I think there's still only like two people cracking Denuvo and one of them is batshit insane.
Could you elaborate on that?
Probably referring to Empress
Only Empress left now I think, the other one who cracked sports games called it quits, or so i've heard
Empress, right? I've seen some things from her (if Empress indeed is a chick) that I thought really couldn't be meant seriously.
Yeah. I don't even know that much about the whole thing, just what I learned when going to look for a game a while back, and even from that little it was like, wtf is with this person?
Never had an issue pirating a denuvo game.
Bingo.
I recently got Alan wake 2 on EGS because I'm a huge Remedy head and huge fan of the first game and couldn't contain my excitement to wait for a steam release and potentially see spoilers, and damn dude that store really is the most bare bones half assed thing ever. Even EAs store on their launcher is nicer.
Alan Wake 2 was a great game at least.
I'm stoked to play it, but I'm waiting for some other store front first. Sigh.
this is very true, its not like they saying no to other stores like apple for example, they just cant compete so they sue instead, really show how pathetic they are.
This lawsuit is specifically about Steam threatening to delist games if the creator tries to sell them at lower price than is listed on Steam.
Tries to sell steam keys at a lower price on other platforms than listed on Steam and not planning on giving the same rebate for Steam customers
Doesn't matter how good the service is if they break consumer laws.
Valve shouldn't be able to control the prices on other storefronts. That is out of their jurisdiction.
