Quoting: stssIs the steam overlay even necessary anymore?

Steam Controller seems not to run properly without it.

Quoting: KimyrielleAnd really, so far I haven't heard a reason to implement such a feature that I wouldn't immediately dismiss as completely and utterly stupid.

The reason quite obviously is to show male players(*) what discomfort female players(*) are facing most of the time.

We want (some) computer games to be seen as art?
Well then, art is not always comfortable.

(*) if they find this a concern at all

Quoting: lucifertdarkSocial Justice Wombats getting their claws into the last place that's been largely free of their toxic influence, looks like gaming is about to get trashed for good like everything else those morons have touched.

I found more insults than arguments in your post. My fault.

Quoting: legluondunetIn a video game we should be able to choose the gender, race, type of creature , hair color ... we want.

Why? Many of the best videogames give you no choice about player character at all. Think about the Half Life, Bioshock or Tomb Raider franchises.

And for all of those, either male or female players are forced to use the another gender.
Like Rust forces half of the people to use the another gender.
If you don't happen to be male, you'll know that feeling for sure.

Quoting: KeyrockSomewhat off-topic, but I wonder how many of the 800 bajillion early access survival games will ever make it out of early access and have a full release? 5%? 3%?

Same here. And I've got the feeling, if it ever happens, most players will be already "through" with it by then.
It seems like you need to use early access if you're into the genre.

I still wonder if anybody has an example of a game on Steam supporting several platforms but not SteamPlay?

Quoting: liamdaweIf you buy a Steam Play title on Windows, you can play it on Mac and Linux and so on.

... if it happens to be available for Mac or Linux. SteamPlay does not guarantee either.(*)

(*) I know that you know, Liam - hey, you're "liam" again!?! I like that! -, I just want to make it clear for those who don't.

Quoting: HoriSo it's a redundant waste of space... We can already find what other platforms are supported without a repurchase simply by looking a few pixels to the left of that label :D

Erm... no. SteamPlay does not tell you which platforms are supported. It only implies that it will be at least two, beecause otherwise, SteamPlay would make no sense. SteamPlay means that you can buy once and play on all supported platforms without rebuying, that's it, no more, no less.

AFAIR there is at least one game on several platforms that supports several platforms (Win and Mac?) but does not support SteamPlay, but I cannot find it ATM.

Quoting: Mountain ManI thought the Tux icon was perfect, but I understand that Valve has a vested interest in pushing their own branded Linux distro, and I don't have a problem with that. However, they really need to brand their OS with something more distinctive than the generic Steam logo. Something like this:
