If people would be as passionate about buying games on GOG as they are hating AI, they wouldn't have to generate those banners with AI.

Quoting: spymastermattI'm looking forward to Valves next project... Electron.. err Neutron?
Whatever the name is, I'd love to see a counterpart to Proton, allowing devs to natively target Linux but still let their games run on Windows via a compatibility layer

And Mac. It would probably be easiest to do with WebAssembly and WebGPU.

Steam Phone? You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, Steam Tablet or Steam Car.

so... as i understand:

• Proton - x86 Windows apps on x86 Linux (Steam Deck).
• Proton+FEX - x86 Windows apps on ARM64 Linux (Steam Frame).
• Lepton - ARM64 Android apps on ARM64 Linux (Steam Frame) or x86 Android (Intel Atom, Chromebook) apps on x86 Linux (Steam Deck).

It's great and it gets much deeper that I initially thought.
In-game documentation at some parts is great, but other parts it's lacking.

A friend informed me this weekend that Stream purchases via Paypal have also become impossible from Switzerland.

Makes sense, CHF is not on the list, but it's not PayPal, it's their bank who doesn't want currencies other than EUR, CAD, GBP, JPY, AUD and USD.

Never saw those games on Steam (unless some other website linked to them) because Steam has quite many levels of Mature Content Filtering in Store Preferences. Makes me think, people complaining about those games, probably have removed all the filtering.

They'll will get distributed elsewhere and funded with other payment methods. I wouldn't worry about those games.

Because if they destroy the existing game it won't compete with any games they release in the future. Just look at how Rockstar removed Grand Theft Auto 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas from Steam when it came time to release the Defective Editions.

That's not even remotely true, just because it's not sold anymore, doesn't mean it's destroyed. It's related to license too, it makes no sense for them to pay for music licenses on multiple editions of the game, so they just sell one edition.

SKG is about stopping disabling games by turning off the server. This happens because the game has not enough players to run the server, not because they have better game to offer. The Crew (2014) lost most of it's players already in 2018 when The Crew 2 came out. The Crew stopped selling and was shut down when The Crew Motorsport (2023) came out.

I didn't sign the initiative because I think they don't understand what they are asking.

I also think that people are getting the same answers to misrepresented wishes because everybody answers to the initiative, not the FAQ. And even if they would be answering to the FAQ, they would still get answers to things that are remotely possible, but still difficult.

Gamers simply don't understand the complexities of game development, they only see - publish just one last patch.

Unbelievable, Stellar Blade made them to come to their senses.
