Quoting: KimyrielleI am a parent, too. But I think you misunderstand the purpose of these system. They are not meant to give parents more control over what their kids can do online. It's about giving them LESS. Because no longer will YOU be the one setting limits for your kids - the government and corporations will do it for you.

Which law are you referring to? I found the opposite in the Californian one.

Quoting: GustyGhostAge (identity by another name) verification faces the same barriers that gaming anticheat has with Linux. They both seek to restrict users in some fashion on an operating system which is fundamentally built around not restricting users.

except a lot worse because while people like what anti-cheat does when it works properly, *nobody* wants this on their system

Age restriction can work without identity information (from just entering it in my computer to more sophisticated stuff e.g. the EU implements), and I as a parent do want age restrictions (and no, I don't want to observe every their step in a certain age).

Quoting: CaldathrasAnybody with a Microsoft Account can easily access the program.

AFAIK, that's EU only? Others need to jump through additional hoops?

Quoting: gaboverstaI still remember many years ago when I bought Age of Empires 3 with both DLC on physical disc. Somewhere on the box it said that the ESO game servers needed for online play would be running until at least 2030.

Has been shut down in 2024, if Google serves well?

Well now I am angry.

You didn't play anymore, but now you're angry you couldn't? I can relate! Didn't mean to make you angry. :)

Quoting: XpanderWhy on earth is there so much empty space. Everything is squished into the middle. I have my monitor in landscape not portrait ffs.
well thats not steam only issue ofc. Every freaking site does that these days :(

Not everyone displays one program at a time taking up the whole monitor. Some people have multiple programs side by side on their widescreen monitor.

Yes, but that's what Responsive Design is all about.

Well, I wouldn't want to see your comment stretched over the whole monitor, and I'm happier with empty space than say adds.

Quoting: M@GOidWhile I applaud the effort in bringing some innovation in gaming, I don't know if this is for me. I already had to do the walk of shame to YT, in search of solutions for some stages of Portal and The Talos Principle. I think this one may be too much for me, since they are stating the thing will be tough.

I literally needed several days for one room of Portal Stories: MEL (original/hard mode) - which is what makes me remember this game!
