Wonder why Linux users would want to install spyware on their computers. I thought the almost no virus environment was the reason some users ditched Windows.

Quoting: ArdjeFinally some action against those fake reviews. Or those reviewers that have 0.5 hours on record... Why are they even allowed to review...
Since it is now up to the viewers, I want to have a filter that can filter out minimal playtime for instance. Or more statistics, like how many down and ups per week, so we can easily see if there was a shitstorm of people blindly echoing eachother not really knowing why they are doing it, just to be herding.
But personally, if a game has a negative score, I usually ignore it, and try to determine myself if I would like a game.
I have never regretted buying a game that has a bad score.

It seems you didnt get it, those reviews will be still there!! If I wrote "Game is bad, hurr durr" that review will be still there and it will be part of the score.
Valve is talking about reviews which are being motivated by things outside of the game itself, the port and the gameplay.

Its pretty dumb to pretend that someone who had 0.5 hours in game just wrote a "fake review" when maybe he cant even launch the game. But if you want to buy a game that crashes at launch be my guest.

For being a Linux site this is really full of corporate drones, which are like, "ohh my God, those poor devs".
Review bombing works both ways, it was used on GTA V when Take Two decided to shut down the modding scene of the game by sending a C&D letter to Open GTA developers and also worked (in a positive way) when ASW (maybe most of you arent aware of this) a fighting games developer was doing their first port for PC, which were awful but everyone was happy to see the company developing for PC and everyone was like, "port is awful but ASW is trying".

This is just another move Valve is doing to please AAA developers, the ones who hates customers to have a voice and since Devs can ban anyone who dares to say anything negative in their hubs, this is another way for sweeping things under the rug. Too bad for Valve, so afraid of AAA devs moving to Epic Fail Store.

IMO review bombing is the best tool for consumers to recommend games but also recommend companies which behavior can be controlled thanks to these tools, now they can go back to being the bunch of 4ssh0l3s they really are.

Also we stopped paid mods thanks to review bombing, but it seems being a pro-corporate anti-consumer guy is the trend these days. Funny thing all of you are consumers...

The game is a flop for many reasons, at least Valve dont hide it. If it was a Epic/Ubi/EA/Blizzard-Activision game they would be twittering stuff like "Artifact reached 5 million of accounts" or some bull5h!t.

If from 1.5 million of users only 600 are playing the game, well, its time to brush this thing under the rug and bring L4D 3 or HL3. Its obvious those 1499400 players doesnt give a damn about the game anymore.

What I want from Valve is single player games with some cool multiplayer options, nothing else.

Quoting: gradyvuckovicThat's fantastic.

If you want to see Linux succeed and you're a gamer on Steam, buy buy buy! Grab all those native Linux games. Hopefully by being generous with our wallets we can make up for our smaller userbase and devs will recognise that we're worth selling games to even if we're a smaller number of users on Steam.

Despite Proton I always buy only Linux games on my daughter´s account to show my support for native games.

Quoting: devlandAccording to https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Tannenberg [External Link] it has Steam DRM.
Can you run it with Steam turned off? If not, then it has DRM.

Totally ridiculous to ask a multiplayer online game to not have some kind of DRM...

Im agree that,
1 If is not whitelisted, we should not put the responsibility of this on Valve.
2 Everything started to break when Epic buy EAC.
3 If anyone is mad about this you should be reaching Paladins Devs or Easy Anticheat owners. Pretty sure they dont care.

Read the last sentence and stop being so PHillip Fanboys.

"It is my understanding that since then both Jeremy White and CodeWeavers' partners at Valve have tried reaching out to Philip on the subject, but evidently with little success."

Ive heard the most ridiculous things like, oh "sometimes I miss Whatsapp messages" when there is a BIG RED number telling you have unread messages on Whatsapp Logo on your phone. So if you telling me Phillip is missing Codeweavers and Valve mails and messages... OK.

The good thing is life goes on and they are working on something else, a little competition sometimes does good.
