    @DragonSnow4 @obakepam @Steam As for government's punishment, failure to disclose AI use should result in the permanent destruction of all their copyright with the inability to file new copyrights until they fix it. Anything created during the time of their lie should be free from copyright too.

    @Steam still waiting for a response from your actual human customer service agents. I requested a refund for a game with 0hr played that's outside the 2-week window because of my hospitlization following cancer treatment and sepsis. You've automatically rejected it twice.

    @TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.

    And just to take the piss, I had Invisible War as I bought the two together but that game just crashes on start, which turns out is a well known bug without a fix. So again @Steam cheating me out of a purchase. If they don't refund it I'm not buying from Steam any more. **** 'em.

  • BearForceCubHQ
    Bear Force Gaming TTV (@BearForceCubHQ) reported

    For people like @Patrick21611 crying that digital games “should be cheaper,” take that same energy to @Steam. Black Ops 3 is still listed at 59.99, even if it goes on sale for around 20. Call of Duty: WWII is 59.99, reduced to around 20 on sale. Call of Duty: Ghosts is 59.99, reduced to around 20 on sale. WWE 2K25 is 59.99 too. So digital games should automatically be cheaper, right? Right? Clearly not, because Steam and publishers have been proving for years that digital does not automatically mean cheaper. The problem is not just Sony going digital. The problem is the industry already learned that removing discs does not mean they have to lower prices. That is the real conversation people should be having.

  • AegisOfAvalon
    Aegis of Avalon (@AegisOfAvalon) reported

    @ZeusArcade @GOGcom @Steam While GOG offers better offline/no-DRM tools, glorifying 3rd-party distributors like them still funnels 30% of the revenue away from 1st-party IP owners. GOG sells first-party games on their storefront and takes a 30% cut. So even when users get improved ownership features, that money isn’t going to the creators or the buyers, it’s going to a third-party distributor. That’s the fundamental issue, and keeping this economic strain in perpetuation only makes everything worse.

    @MaekaAmaya @Steam While I have zero issues with AI used....as long as it is up front, and I don't care if it was used or not, this is still a good idea and feature. AI is just a new brand of potato chips, allow people to filter it out if they want.

    Will the MORONS at @Steam fix Dead Island 2? It's missing the "anti easy cheat" install files after the update, so it can't launch anymore if people uninstall then reinstall it. Your staff are abolute derps. This has been a persisting issue for months (since the last update).
