Well valve maintain their servers, they pay for them, it is logical to have it "closed" and prevent other competitor companies to use their services for free, I don't see anything strange, besides this has benefited small developers who do not have the money and infrastructure. Sweeney's comments have always been, and it is obvious, for commercial interests nothing else, they are not the sisters of charity or anything like that.

On paper what Sweeney says has always sounded nice, we will see how it works in practice.

Quoting: Bumadar

Quoting: RussianNeuroMancerThis is the right decision. It's absolutely crazy what Russian government do right now, and not only government - around 70% citizens believe in propaganda, and honestly wish Ukrainians death. There is just no point to release this DLC until Russia citizens change their mind, and I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

Quoting: KimyrielleIt's the right call. Unfortunately, in this case, there was no unpolitical decision available. It's a shame that they blew so much money on making a product they in all likelihood will never be able to sell before it is horribly outdated. The time it will take for Russia to be an accepted member of the international community again will be measured in decades, not years...

Not arguing at all about the fact that what is happening in the Ukraine is wrong, it is.

But I honestly feel that what the west is doing now towards the Russian people is so very very flawed. Going after the rich and influential people there, go for it. But cutting the normal Russian off from everything is only pushing them more into the corner we don't want them to be.

What will this accomplish really? Nothing it will just make a gamer go f*** this, stupid West/developer. He is not going onto the streets and demonstrate with the risk of a jail timer longer then what you get in some countries for a murder, no he will go like hmmm maybe all the news I see every day (the propaganda) has some truth.

I also have no correct solution for it all, but I do feel that cutting the normal Russian off from the world (no google/apple pay/xbox/sony ps,no more games to buy on steam, etc etc) is not the way.

Let the Flaming start :)

I 100% agree with you, the isolation that the West is creating towards the Russian population is absurd, they are pushing that people into total seclusion, giving Putin greater control over them and it will end up becoming a new North Korea. And not to mention the growing Russophobia, reading news that philharmonic orchestras have stopped playing works by Tchaikovsky or universities prohibiting classes about Dostoevsky's works.

It is that not even in the 80s in the middle of the cold war, a time that I lived in my childhood, I did not see so much anti-Russian sentiment. And to think that at that time all these artistic expressions built bridges with the people for greater integration, now, the West is in charge of collapsing them with the absurd hypothesis that the people will rise up and banish Putin, it is easier to think and do that behind of a keyboard, but in practice it is very different, and I say this from my position, I am Colombian and we have lived for more than 50 years in an internal war and with many repressive governments that did not shake their hands in murdering civilians, very recently About a year ago, the armed and police forces murdered more than 80 people, and absolutely nothing happened, no country condemned the government of my country for that and everything remained the same.

The people are not to blame for the decisions of their governments, and the problem is that people do not look back, they forget history, and humanity makes the same mistakes again.

The position of the developers is understandable, if they continue working on that DLC the world will come crashing down on them and they will end up like the bad guys, I remember in the game's steam forum, from the first day of the invasion, people questioning and asking them to stop the DLC development

the failure of other stores is not due to the 'dominance' of steam, it is due to regional prices, paying in dollars in my country is very high, the value of the currency is devalued with respect to the dollar, those prices are adapted to the cost of living is a big help, this is what other stores don't see. Sometimes I use stores like Nuuvem or GMG that also offer regional prices.

Thanks to this, and it is an observation that we make with friends, many friends and people we know within my country have stopped pirating games, because with the prices it is justified to pay for them. Proof of this is how the number of users of a FB group in my country that is for steam users has grown from about five years, approximately, to today

Unfortunately the value of the dollar in my country has made it almost impossible to buy products in that currency :(. The only game that I don't have in the bundle and that interests me is Rise of Industry.

Quoting: Nanobang

Quoting: JoZ3

Quoting: GuestWith beta client, i can't download anything, it throws the error "Content servers unreachable".
I'm on archlinux...

same error here, any way to solve this?

I had this problem after the last update, it turned out to have something to do with my VPN blocking IPv6 to protect against leaks. Once I disabled that feature in my VPN, things worked again.

I'm not saying this is exactly your problem, just that it might have something to do with IPv6 for you as well, somehow.

Thanks for reply, problem solved. I enabled the IPv6 in my internet connection and now downloads work :)
