wahming , in I tried to discuss the use of steam hardware security keys on google's top steam forum threads about the subject and all my posts were deleted and the threads closed. And I got a community warning

It’s almost as if the mods explained the reason for their actions! Unthinkable!

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

You’re missing the comment I left in there. Anyway, enjoy your google results leading to closed threads with no answers.

wahming ,

FYI, your comments were deleted. I’m guessing they’re only visible to you

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

I can’t see them either, they have been purged entirely. Now all thread major threads about security keys are closed and people who think security keys are about card trades(??) and how they don’t protect their precious cards have had the last word that it’s not important to them…

wahming ,

Can’t you just start a new thread?

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

It would never be seen by the vast majority of people, I don’t see the point of creating yet another discussion when there was four of them already going and were some of the top links on google for “steam login security key”

wahming ,

Google results are not static. If your info was useful it’d end up on top eventually

interdimensionalmeme OP ,

But there’s not going to be any info. All the people who had relevant information, came in from google, hit a closed thread and then left. There will not be a future conversation until the dead wood is cleared by a forest fire.

wahming ,

New. Thread.

Just because this level of cringey fanboying should never be tolerated, here is a hurtful fact: Valve has argued in court that they are a subscription service and you do not in fact own any game in your library. hothardware.com/…/valve-loses-french-court-battle

Shayeta ,

Yup, since early 00s, Valve has switched from selling digital copies of games to selling “limited perpetual licenses” of games.

asexualchangeling ,

Yeah Valve is definitely not perfect, and yet even with that they might still be my favorite tech company (or at least one of for sure)

vivadanang , in Valve Says Counter-Strike 2 for macOS Not Happening Because There Aren't Enough Players on Mac to Justify It

uninstalled it today, it’s really a gameplay downgrade from cs:go and that wasn’t my fav cs by far.

really shitty that they basically took cs:go away too. yeah, I dig the levels and lighting and crosshairs but otherwise the experience, both multiplayer and even bot practice gameplay was pretty meh.

I don’t think you can even play workshop maps with friends anymore, game’s useless now.

That or i couldn’t find the option for 10 minutes

DNU ,

Not there yet, but the odds are good that it’s gonna return as soon as they’re finished fixing the game. For the old Workshop you can switch to the csgo beta branch.

If you want a game on Steam, you buy it on Steam! How is that so hard for people to grasp?

WetBeardHairs ,

Also - if you want to buy something on the internet, use a credit card from a real bank. They’ll refund you for scams.

But go ahead and complain when you get scammed while using a currency designed to be hard to track.

gonzoknowsdotcom1 OP ,

Because steam isn’t always the most affordable, that’s like saying if you want a product. Take AMD for example and it’s 1,000 gpu. Buy it from AMD. Then you see amazon has the same GPU for a discounted rate

I have yet to encounter a legit key-reseller.

glimse ,

I buy the vast majority of my games directly through Steam but I’ve used Kinguin a few times with no issue

I’ve used G2A for Windows Pro keys, which are legit OEM bulk keys, and also to buy my friend in AUS some Hearts of Iron DLC that I couldn’t buy and gift normally because of the price difference between CAD and AUD.

wccrawford ,

Humble and Fanatical come to mind really quickly. I’m sure there are others, too.

I definitely wouldn’t just trust one I hadn’t heard of before, though. It was a while before I even bought anything from Fanatical.

That’s fair. Haven’t tried fanatical, but Humble is great.

Yeah except both of those things are in fucking dollars and not in random ass cryptocurrency

Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys

68x ,

This makes no sense at all. Steam has regional pricing and often times, games do go on sale.

You sound like a Butter.

pokkst ,

Regional pricing, last I checked on the Steamworks dashboard, is usually set by the developer themselves, and doesn’t always mean it’ll be cheaper in other regions. And sales are also set by the developer, even for Summer/Winter sales. The developer can choose to opt out.

Because this guy is a crypto moron. He’s from monero.town which is a crypto instance. He tried to pay for this with crypto and got scammed, which garners zero sympathy from me, because it’s not real money.

Oh no! I didn’t pay real money to a provider and they didn’t give me the product! This is a scam!

He keeps coming to other instances to “review” the ability to pay for things with monero, which is basically just an advert for trying to pump the crypto.

pokkst ,

He said his order eventually got fulfilled, and there’s other people, including myself, that have used this site before and received valid keys. They just take a while to process the order sometimes.

Fixed in-game overlay keyboard input not working on systems with ibus, such as gnome desktop environments

Nice, that bug was annoying.
