I haven't seen their app, but last time I checked their 2FA FAQ it was using your phone (more precise, your phone number) as a security token and JUST that. Which is an extremely stupid thing to do, for reasons I stated above.

Imagine a world where Steam would have support for hardware tokens, or at least passkeys. Anything remotely close to state of the art security really.

What they offer is... SMS "2FA".

Who in their right mind would ever want to use the one item in your possession with the greatest probability to get lost or stolen (which is your phone) as a security key anyway?

smh

It's in line with what most of the industry is doing lately. With Proton now being able to run pretty much any game on Linux, they don't see a solid reason for a native Linux port anymore. "Linux support" is now equivalent to making sure it runs smoothly in Proton.

Personally, I can live with it. If a game runs on Linux I don't care about what makes it run.

Anyone remember the days when patch notes used to be text, which you could read in a minute or less?

This store was never meant to improve customer experience. Its only purpose was for devs to save on commissions. And people wonder why it hard failed, when there was and is zero reason for customers to use it. If Fortnite wouldn't provide a seemingly endless amount of revenue to keep it on life-support, EPIC store would have closed a long time ago.

has prevented cheating attempts while maintaining an accuracy rate of over 99%

An accuracy rate of ~99% is pretty bad when dealing with millions of users...

if the people who make it are incompetent

It's a really good thing they are. Otherwise they might have noticed that people can open a terminal on the Deck...

I don't get it. Why didn't they use the Creation Engine from Skyrim SE or even their Creation Engine 2 from Starfield?

I never looked at the Starfield version, but CK is extremely outdated. I suppose they finally wanted to get rid of the old tech instead of continuing apply bandaids to CK.

Snap store is open source

Unless something dramatically changed last time I checked, the Snap Store is NOT open source.

A quick glance at the Wiki page seems to confirm that nothing has changed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_(software) [External Link]

Mind pointing me to a source saying otherwise?
