They started adding ads all over that Google news feed when you swipe right from your homescreen last year, the one that’s built into the Pixel launcher.

You didn’t even open the link to realize it’s not an article huh

None of this affects the fact that, contrary to what the person above claimed, there are games on Steam without DRM.

We forgetting that a house was a horror icon for decades?

Tankie saying everyone else is sheeple while espousing conspiracy theory YouTube playlist as objective truth.

This is the sociopathy.

They did though by patterning with publishers. Forcing physical releases to go through Steam as DRM. Killing the physical pc gaming market.

Not only does this not describe forced retail exclusivity, it’s three different statements that are all false in their own ways. Distribution agreements aren’t exclusivity agreements, Steam only deals in digital copies not physical copies, DRM implementation is optional, and there are no stipulations barring publishers from making or distributing physical copies.

We’ve gone from one incorrect statement about Steam to five.

They also have their Non-Favoured-Nations clause, meaning a game can’t be sold for cheaper off Steam.

You mean the Most-Favoured Nations clause that five people filed a suit over, based on a a Tim Sweeney tweet from 2019? Not only was that suit silly, it doesn’t even make sense as this sort of clause is extremely common in retail and not at all unique to Steam or Valve compared to other storefronts.

Only as they geared up to sell their own consoles.

You also don’t seem to be fully aware of Valve’s contributions to Linux gaming.

Steam didn’t employ forced retail exclusivity.

Oh yes, that’s good. Didn’t even think about that. I’m so used to seeing -rf that I didn’t even register what I was looking at for a second.

Luckily it’s France, not Quebec. France is much more amenable to providing documentation in other languages.

You had 30 seconds? So much for a quick wit.

That requires telling a new joke, not just rehashing the same one with a materially insignificant difference.

Oh, that’s worse than just missing the joke. That’s just one-upping and mistaking it for humour.

Wooooosh

And Kojima doesn’t like Sony’s decision.

Decades ago when things weren’t available for purchase easily in many parts of the world but they still wanted to get their hands on that product.

Even less reason to refer to it as a Stadia game then.
