My first activation was Steam Linux Beta (member since 27 October, 2012).

First purchases on Steam: Bastion, Dust, The Witcher 2 and Civilization V.

Quoting: 0aTTThey simply have their money and their stats. The top 100 games will run. That probably already covers 99% of active players. The Deck has a TPM. With this and money you can implement any AC.

They can easily register their TPMs with EAC and others. The AC then comes as a signed and closed kernel module for SteamOS. Problem solved.

Proton is only the open source part of the system. With the Steam Deck, a lot of software will be released that we haven't even seen yet. Valve has already pointed this out.

I hope the same thing. They can work on most played games and best sellers. I would add best rated (must-play) games too.

The suit mentions how Valve require developers to sign an agreement that contains a "Most Favored Nations" provision to have developers keep the price of their games the same on Steam as other platforms.

Epic Games Store "sold" "Steam games" with a 100% discount and Valve did nothing. The Most-Favored-Nation clause is for Steam keys.

Quoting: TheSHEEEP

Quoting: WindousicoRegional pricing was terminated with the elimination of region locks. It's a fact in Steam. Now we have the same prices in Poland, Spain and Germany (since 2015-2016).

This is clearly not true for Poland, as anyone can check.

However, it seems true that Steam only allows setting prices per currency, not per region. At least I couldn't find price differences within EU countries in my VPN search across different Steam fronts.
Basically, all Euro countries pay the same price - this does, indeed prevent regional pricing within Euro countries.
Which is really ridiculous as the disposable income within Euro countries is vastly different.

It seems like Valve basically took the EU's complaint about illegal regional locking and used that as a reason to not even have different regions within a single currency - they used to have that at least somewhat with their EU tiers, but they abandoned even that minimal effort.

As an annoying side effect, as all can witness in this thread, the wrong idea got into people's heads that the EU would want to ban regional price differences - even saw that in some articles.

Sucks for residents of affected countries.
Either way, that's not the EU's fault (as the EU only prohibits regional locking, not pricing), and in this case it's not even the publishers' fault - this is on Valve not caring about lower GDP regions within the EU.
All they'd need to do is to allow different regional pricing within countries with the same currency while also not allowing regional locking.

What I don't understand is what all the fuss is about, then. If Valve removed the region locking in 2015 already and there are no regional price differences within Euro countries - what's the actual problem now?
The remaining few EU countries that don't have Euro being region locked?

OK. It's not true for Poland but "Basically, all Euro countries pay the same price". Consequently, regional pricing was terminated with the elimination of region locks on Steam (something I regretted greatly).

There is no "existing" problem. There is a "verdict" 6 years later (more or less).
