It’s hard for me to imagine how this benefits a for-profit company, and probably requires significant resource dedication so it’s not surprising.

They did say and/or steamdeck

Yes but they did not say Linux. Some devs are making their games available on Steam Deck while blocking them from wider Linux compatibility.

Can’t help but notice they specifically did not mention “Linux”.

Also “upmost” 😅

I don’t know but I would assume so, being that most Android OS were compromised at some point.

Of it’s not tracked then how do they know which ones are in the top?

Fortunately I do live on Earth!

And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

The whole industry goes to shit, but it’s not steam’s fault.

1. Steam has the clout to fight back against this
2. As I already mentioned, it is partially because they don’t allow you to run older versions of games.

Strange that it was previously at 0.00%, isn’t it?

CoMaps doesn’t seem to be able to find my location which is uhhhh a problem.

The most recent ones I’ve noticed are Riders Republic and Borderlands 2. Helldivers also introduced a bunch of new microtransactions years after it’s launch.

And I suppose my experience doesn’t count? Or you think I’m making this up?

Never was, to my knowledge

Oh well if you haven’t experienced it, it must not exist then 🤷

You can still play it but increasingly games are becoming very different from what you bought.

I’ve started noticing a disturbing trend. More and more games that are older being sold at steep discounts or “free to play” and simultaneously jampacked with invasive telemetry and/or ads/microtransactions. And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

9% is significant

Aegis is fine but you need to make sure you have a super reliable backup because losing your 2FA codes is an absolute nightmare. Losing dozens of them, you’re going to spend weeks on the phone/emailing people to get access to your accounts and the solution is usually sending them pics of your ID.

Didn’t know that, thanks!

And that’s exactly the sort of thing the fediverse is intended to avoid.

It’s not. Your passport account would be portable, just like any other account. I really don’t see what the problem is.

Why? Because her Android has Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Roblox, Candy Crush, Wuthering Waves, and Sky: Children of Light.

These games are all great examples of everything I hate about mobile gaming: full of incessant ads for microtransactions. Literally every mobile game I’ve ever played (outside of FDroid) is this way.

Plus you need a controller anyway, at which point you might as well just carry a handheld ging system.

You could buy whatever your favorite Anbernic device for $50 and have access to a library of thousands of fun ad-free games.
