Does anybody have any idea if Valve is still working on a solution to this problem? All this ffmpeg stuff. It's great that GE-Proton exists, but it would be nice if you could just rely on vanilla Proton.

Quoting: ThibugNext news, Epic laid off 50% of their staff because they are losing money ?

They just recently got rid of over 800 people...

And just now 50% of Bandcamp

BREAKING: Epic Games lays off roughly 50% of Bandcamp amidst its sale to Songtradr.

The Fortnite maker purchased the music platform just last year but is now spinning it off amid massive cost cutting.

Quoting: Liam DaweWhile Valve generally limit key generation, I've no doubt they would work with bigger publishers on this.

That's quite the assumption. Valve hasn't shown much of a will to bend to publishers. They've let them leave steam because the publishers didn't get what they wanted.

Back at ya, you're assuming something that neither of us actually know. I'm just coming from the side of: we know Steam keys are already a thing and have been for a long time, and it would be to Valve's benefit to do it and would take little effort from Valve.

Publishers are allowed to generate up to 5,000 keys without question, but anything beyond that has to be approved on a case-by-case by Valve. Considering the number of copies Diablo 4 moved, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Valve rejected a request for bulk keys; that's a lot of potential money from second-time buyers to give up.

When Bethesda shut down their own launcher you could migrate your library to Steam. Blizzard (now Microsoft) could easily work with Valve as well and just unlock the game in people's accounts. It's not like this costs any money and it's more customers/users for Steam.

Quoting: basedHB have been getting worse, at least ever since Choice was introduced, slowly and steadily

How are they getting worse? You get a bunch of good to great games for a few bucks.

Yeah, that's _exactly_ the bundle after which I stopped paying any attention to Humble whatsoever.

Not that I care about Giana Sisters in any way, but it was the promise that wasn't delivered that killed the bundles for me.

Because one thing didn't come to fruition you delibarately miss out on a ton of great deals?!

Quoting: kuhpunktLike with stuff like Cult of the Lamb - wouldn't "deleting" their game be pointless anyway? Like if I bought the game on say Steam already, I could still download it after January 1.

Not if they delete the depots.

Are they even allowed to do that? Like legally. Delisting is one thing.
