That's not what I meant, but Valve has actively chosen to adopt it, which makes it in part their responsibility.
On the kinda funny stream:
"Calm down Resetera, Guacamelee 2 will only bit Navel Gazing on this stream"
The "watch threads" function was broken for the last few days, now it works again, not sure what your question is
Is that a straight post, or are you sarcastically emulating Gaming side?
I thought this was announced for PC as well originally?
They had some good deals on way bigger SSDs recently. I got a 1 TB one for under $120.
That was how I solved that issue.
Ben Kuchera already put an article on Polygon how awesome Epic's money hatting strategy is, and that it's a "huge positive" for us as gamers. He calls it a "console war on pc" and we all should be very exciting about it.
So yeah, you heard it guys. Stop complaining and start embracing Epic's amazing pro-consumer console war on pc!

Had to look that up.
Indeed it was:

"As you may know, the game was previously only announced for PC. "
all i do on this computer nowadays is play league anyways
fuck that's stupid cheap, cheaper than i got mine lol
girls pls understand computers are expensive in argieland ok
Most people who mainly play on PC think it's a terrible practice. Be it here, r/Games, r/pcgaming or subreddits of affected games (Satisfactory).
Ok, it's just another trash Polygon article and I don't expect better from them (with the odd exception every now and then). Haven't read the article yet but I guess they labeled it as an Opinion piece? So when the author is confronted with criticism or people tell him that he's factually wrong (again, haven't read the article but I remember the regional pricing is just forced discounts thing from another Polygon article), he can say: "It's just my opinion, dudes."
It's a really neat showcase of cool looking games and almost no filler.
So just watch it yourself.
How "journalists" can spout so much bullshit with a straight face (or maybe they're also laughing behind the text) is fucking disgusting.
We're supposed to cheer for console wars on pc? Yeah, fuck right off with your bullshit Kuchera.
God these last few days have been maddening.
This forum is complete and utter dogshit for anything PC. You can not have a single Valve/Steam thread that does not get derailed on the first page and no matter what you say it happens again in the next thread. Like, someone spouted his opinion on how SteamVR failed in Alexandro's 3rd party exclusivity thread, which btw has fuck all today with the topic the thread is about, like 90% of the 7 pages, Krejlook wrote an extensive answer on what SteamOS is and what Valve's goal was and how big of a boon for Lunix it was and still is and the guy's answer is literally "I'm not going to bother reading through this wall of text because I know I'm right anyway."
i personally find the exclusives argument to be a lot less relevant on pc than consoles cos it's not like it costs you anything to download the epic launcher or origin or whatever. it's inconvenient for sure, but it's free, so i don't mind
having to download an extra launcher for one game is a hassle, but i wanted to play persona 5 and i couldn't cos i had to spend a lot of money on a ps4, so that's an actual sucky exclusive
persona looks like a fucking ps2 game, you could put that thing on the fucking ouya and it'd run swell
edit: and like, it's not like being on steam makes it free from other shitty clients. rockstar games install that garbage rockstar client that sure as hell showed my email on my profile without asking, and if you really like steam as a launcher you can just link games there like i do with league
i don't see much of a big deal outside of inconvenience

Honestly, with some posters I know when they are taking the piss. Or are just idiots.
But with you, I was starting to worry Tencent has commenced with bribing the forum influencers, not only Youtube ones.
Long Gone Days IS on steam though ;P
....but yeah this event was waaaaaaaaay cooler than game awards and had more exciting games shown. Just wish we'd get a date for 'Bury me, my love' on Steam :S
You are from Argentina, arent you? Have fun paying US$ for games then.
Or Chinese gamers not even be able to play the games, because Bethesdas and Epics Launcher arent available there.
And even then. The Bethesda launcher even sent consumers CC info to other consumers. Its not about a different launcher. Its about inferior launchers and buying 3rd party exclusivity.
Linux gamers cant even play those games now.
Right. Their lawyers protect them here because I'm sure they would say despite the fact you can that they only provide support for accounts that are opened in the region you live in.
Yup and that's all that is required by EU law then they are covered. Although I though way before they were already doing this just quietly.
Change region! Ha Ha. Their architecture is a disaster , can't even change a name without running the risk of certain games not working.
So with GDPR most companies took one of two approaches. One was EU only. They basically figured they had limited resources to comply so only did bare minimum that affected EU customers and some news sites simply blocked EU when they ran out of time.
The second approach much bigger companies tended to take. Technically you need to respect this law no matter where an EU citizen is located so they figured it's much easier and technically ethical to just apply the rules globally across all services for everyone not just consumers but employees data as well. This is what I experienced.
Now EU will work with companies as far as extending time to comply as long as progress is being made. This is because it's a tight rope and what they can't have is companies just pulling services.
Now the next problem is these new laws can actually benefit bad actors or those that cause security risks. So that's now a new area where lots of smart people are looking to close gaps in the tech industry at large.
It was fairly obvious those were coming back eventually.
You'll find out...
