> claims most steam games are drm free

> shown that most games that people play aren't drm free

I missed the part where I cared about this conversation anymore. Enjoy your weekend!

Alright 🙄

Did you miss the part where I said I mostly excluded them?

The steam link should explain it, it's the biggest games on steam in terms of revenue.

Out of the non-free games 2/6 platinum games have DRM. 8/9 gold games have drm. And that's ignoring DRM via being live service game without support for self hosting server (a big portion if you also check the silver games).

Disclaimer, I used perplexity.ai to ask if each individual game included drm or not. Ignoring DRM that is one time verification and support offline play.

This new law should absolutely include every game store on the Internet.

If you buy a game on GOG, you can download the game and put it on 100 USB sticks and sell each one of them with a fully working copy for perpetuity. You buy the game on GOG. Just because the shop may go down doesn't mean you lose your product.

GOG guarantees that every game is DRM free and can be offline. Steam makes no such guarantees, and most games there will ship with some form of DRM.

Yeah, it's why I always choose GOG over Steam when I have a choice, even if it costs slightly more.

Hmm, I thought it was more recent, but it sounds about right!

There was a lot of noise surrounding GOG a few months back about something like that. GOG was going in that direction but had to pull back/remove the game(?) to due backlash.

class MyClass:
    def __init__(self, x: int):
        self.whatever: int = x

def foo(x: MyClass) -> int:
    return x.whatevr

Any decent IDE would give you an error for unresolved attribute. Likewise it would warn you of type error if the type of x.whatever didn't match the return type of foo()

It happened a while back. r/football actually sponsors a football team now, via some reddit program they won.

Everything by voidtools is incredible and makes Windows slightly more bearable. It's a shame Linux doesn't have anything as good as it.

It's free, but not open source though.

Just glad it's making a positive impact, can't ask for more as a programmer :)
