Yeah, I don't think Valve should pull the community features of any delayed game.


But I imagine they are looking into amending whatever agreements they have for all future releases that include some new stuff about release timing if the devs/pubs use steam features during pre-release period.



Also no cdkeys key for Sekiro yet. :(

When Valve offered a store page in exchange of $100, it was not stipulated in the terms of service that the app needed to be released on Steam one day.

Well, I guess there's a loophole. Hopefully, Valve will change their TOS asap.

Their card to play (other than a massive player base) is that they're the best platform for your PC games - keep working to improve that platform and give consumers options.

The problem is, devs don't give a shit about features or how consumer-friendly Steam is and right now Epic is capable of moneyhatting dozens upon dozens of AA to AAA games. I don't see how Valve can only compete with it by offering better features.

The most illuminating thing in those Epic threads is seeing how much disdain developers have for their customers. Thank you verified tags.

Some devs behavior has made me go from "well a man gotta eat" to "WTF do you WANT me to attack you like the fanboys do or something?"

Or maybe theyve internalized just what theyve stepped in and how its getting worse by the week.

I own Dark Souls on the PC, but I've never played it.

I have played some Bloodborne on the PS4.

I'm always behind the curve. Feels bad man.

I also want to point something else out about Itch.io:

While Epic scan your system, and add ways for publishers to track you. Itch.io are the only client I know of with an inbuilt sandbox, designed to PREVENT games from modifying or accessing files they shouldn't be looking at.

I could've missed it while browsing the store page, lol. Ironically, considering their statements in the FAQ, that makes it, even more, resemble false advertisement

After checking around, it seems that in the case of Industry of Titans, they're gonna launch as early access on EGS with a 1.0 release on both EGS and Steam a year later. Just so weird that Big Ben can't even say its launching on Steam a year later ON Steam.

It seems to me the majority of games they are giving were heavily discounted or free in other services, like the Witness is free on Plus, was free on Live with Gold, it's on GamePass, it's on EA Access, it was in a Monthly and a regular bundle.

New Rift looks sorta interesting, Higher res is great, but Refresh from 90hz to 80hz and not OLED is a real bummer. Inside out tracking is cool though.

Got an Email from EA just now about a verification login, neat. Good thing I activated the security verification, changed my password right away.

What would be Valve's perfect GDC according to ERA? My take:

1) Store exclusive RDR 2
2) Store exclusive Bloodborne and Uncharted quadrilogy + Golden Abyss remaster
3) The announcement that HL3 is almost ready and (obviously) PC (Steam) exclusive
4) Merger with GOG
5) From Software is now Valve's 1st Party developer
6) News about new features, VR etc.
