Valve banning games that allow exchanging cryptocurrencies or NFTs

Quoting: GustyGhostsalty about cryptocurrency because of their experiences with inflated GPU prices.
I'm mostly salty over it because it drives up energy costs dramatically (I've seen %40 rise here since Crypto took off a few years ago), and also the cost on the environment is HUGE.

Just do the math on how much coal needs to be burnt in order to perform a full bitcoin transaction, scary.. not sustainable at all and will likely kill us off as a species if we continue in this way.

Brawlhalla to get Easy Anti-Cheat, dev puts up Beta with EAC working on Linux with Proton

Quoting: hell0I've played robocraft. Whilst the game was fun and enjoyable to play, they're a prime example of trying to make up for jokingly bad cheat-proofing by using third party tools. Their servers trust everything the clients send: that weapon with a fixed unalterable 10 seconds reload is ready to fire again after 0.1s you say? Sure, go ahead! That speed you can't reach with your current setup is what you're cruising at? Seems alright!
I've been saying this allot lately too. EAC/BE as a AC measure and nothing else is called 100% lazy development! Server side rule breaking checks need to be done. I think Mortal Online 2 has server side AC going on since they discovered early on that client side only was completely pointless!

I see people all over the web comparing NFTs directly to cosmetic shops. Its quite frustrating how many people have no idea what NFTs are or how they work.

Quoting: MayeulCFirstly, are you sure it's wifi and not some other
I meant to say Wireless, so yes I think mouse is bluetooth and keyboard 2.4? K800 keyboard and G604 mouse (logitech brands). Long battery life devices (1-3months)

I use wifi keyboard and mouse and have no issues with latency. Then again I only play at 4k 60hz, no doubt at 144hz there maybe a noticeable difference.

Quoting: NumericThis is what makes Valve's product different. Could you imagine a corporation like Apple or Nintendo ever making a video like this?
I think those companies would sooner start a nuclear war then make such a video! lmao

Quoting: whizse"ESD strap should make skin contact! Oops."
Still haven't ESD kill any device I believe in my whole life of electronic bga repairs. I think you need to spend 1hr charging up on carpet first! :)

Opt in AC support for Linux drops.
Developers: Meh...

I don't know why developers would stick with a older version of EAC; why have any AC at all if your not going to keep it up to date.
