Games@lemmy.world•Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"English
203·20 hours agoChet Falisek has been on a crusade to have bad contrarian takes since he left Valve. His stance on Stop Killing Games was downright stupid.
They have a song where the lyrics literally are a cookie recipe.
Why are you assuming anyone here would consider otherwise?

5·5 days agoSo what exactly is happening when people wear these danger-pants? Apparently the voluminous fabric gets wrapped around itself, as well as the wearer’s ankles and feet, causing them to trip.
Surely that’s always going to be an issue with this kind of very baggy design? That’s what stylist Clare Chambers told the Metro. “The wider the leg, the more likely it is to get caught and wrapped around the opposite leg/foot causing the wearer to trip and fall,” she said.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•why physical media is ESSENTIAL for a healthy games industry - Danny Odwyer - noclip2English
11·12 days agoThey 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.
