I have never bought a single game on Steam for this exact reason. I will buy from any game store except Steam.
The service on Steam is nothing superior over others. For people that want privacy but can live with DRM, I like Heroic open source launcher for playing games on both Epic and GOG, but Heroic does have issues launching Fortnite.
That's how you know that you are in a cult, when you're not allowed to be personal friends with a libertarian because they don't acceot what you believe in.
How is refunding people's money to return their own cash classed as socialism?
Anyone who replied has validated your number as a verified working phone number to sell and to spam.
Are you saying that in relation to price? Because 4060 beats 1080 Ti.
Which shows NDP and United only want power, void of any principals. From watching interviews and listening to speeches, it sounds like BC Conservatives want to cut the burden of government out of people's life, stop with the busy body administrative state, and stop pushing conformity on its citizens to stop nagging the population so people are left alone to make their own choices in how they live their life.
It can't be fixed without government cutting taxes on construction and eliminating regulations on single family houses that also add to the costs along with fees and taxes on building homes.
Game developers should never use upscaling, develop everything at native 4K with 4K ultra textures, and for playing at lower resolutions the game can remove pixels for lower resolution. Similiar to how 4K recorded video looks better at 1080p than 1080p recorded video.
For framerate and GPU performance, we are now in the 4K capable GPU market and only getting better every 2 years. In 2026/2027 people will NOT require the top GPU for native 4K 120fps which means 4K GPUs are only going to get cheaper and cheaper, not for price but can start pairing a lower GPU with a 4K screen.
Upscaling is not available on older games, some of those are more popular in terms of favourites than brand new releases, and upscaling is inconsistent across games that have it.
The smoothest performance across a random 20 to 30 games will always be to only play at native resolution with no frame generation technology.
Does that mean that you are in agreement with me about being against all frame generation texhnoogies?
Am I alone in being completely in being against all frame generation due it it being simulated gameplay? I max out ever graphics setting but disable DLSS/FSR and play on native with a lower FPS.
On the contrary, I was going to ask you guys here, am I wrong to believe that there is zero interest in GTA 6? Or at the very least, people don't care about a game that won't be released for a year and a half?!?
Why are you mentioning Linux? I did not. Keeping this all with the context of using Windows, both Epic and GOG stores provide API access which proves they only want to compete but Steam demands tyrannical control and tell gamers want they are allowed to do while Steam maintains the right to erase a user's game library without a refund.
Steam does and has deleted ganes from people's library without giving refunds. People have developed a blind allegience to Steam either through ignorance or lower cognitive function, but Steam is between aburden and a plaque on PC gaming.
Did you read the court documents in the video? The simple fact that Epic allows API proves that they not tracking and datamining people's information.
I have never bought a game on Steam. I will never buy game on Steam. It was a court ruling that made Steam change their user agreement, not Steam trying to be nice.
