RHOPKINS13 , in Question on online play

That entirely depends on the game. Some games, like Terraria, can connect to the same servers regardless of whether it was bough on Steam or GOG. Others could rely on Steam's API for matchmaking and online play on the Steam version, and will likely be incompatible with GOG versions. And then there are games that may not be designed for online play, but still can be played online using methods like Steam Remote Play.

Lipriv30 OP ,

If I see on the store page that the game has Steam API, just forget about getting the GOG version because I won’t be able to play with the steam players?

osprior ,

There’s unfortunately no rule or easy way to tell other than doing your own investigation for each individual game.

@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

Lethal company is an obvious choice. I think you need a mod to play with 5 people though.

wolfshadowheart ,

Very easy to mod it thankfully

There’s a mod for five?!?

themoonisacheese ,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

Sure is, the mod is on nexusmods I think and it’s called more company. Since everyone needs to install it, I suggest also looking into other mods like alternate outfits and such

deep rock galactic along with that, also needs a mod for more than 4 players but it’s trivial to get and works well from what i’ve heard

Hello yes I am an indie dev and I made an RPG and it is on big sale kirby-wave

today is also the second anniversary of its release so I am celebrating by eating WAY too much pizza

hakstc , in Steam has a moderation issue

I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you. I reported a racist game I saw on Steam and I don’t think anything ever came of it. You can turn off non-friends leaving comments on your profile, it’s not a great solution but at least it’ll prevent shitty comments on your profile in the future.

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)

keepcarrot , in Nice?

I don’t think there’s a universe where this guy had a shot doing this, but each attempt at irony and self-effacing deprication makes it worse

muhyb , in How big is your guys' wishlists?

You can’t possibly have an interest over so many games, it’s not practical either. Even if you finish 100 games every year 2000 games would take 20 years.

    I’m the same. I use it to basically bookmark upcoming or early access games so that I can receive updates about them on my news feed.

    I don’t tend to buy early access games unless it meets very specific criteria: the developer is one person or just a few people, they have been posting frequent substantial updates (patch notes and such count, but if it has a ton of devlogs that are devoid of anything but fluff, I tend to stay clear), and the project speaks to me. Like if it’s a type of game I’ve always wanted to see made, or something.

    All that to say, I have accumulated a large wishlist as well. Not as big as OP’s, but almost 150 games.

    nolannice , in Which upcomming indie game you have high hopes for ?
    @nolannice@lemmy.world avatar

    Hades 2 but it definitely feels, like you said, less indie at this point due to the first’s colosal success.

    ZeroHora , in overwatch 2 a few hours after launch
    @ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

    The PVE bundle for a few missions costing about the same of what I paid for the entire ow1 is just insulting. For what I understand they’ll release multiples PVE bundles for 15$. The entire ow2 is only a money grab machine.

    I should be mad at the market for this practice but I’m already so pissed off that I’ll direct all my hatred towards a single stupidity: Fuck all mobile consumers who made this kinda of shit the norm in the gaming market, fuck all candy crush players who gave infinite money to Activision Blizzard.

    conditional_soup , in What do you think of this prediction?

    I think anon has it 100% correct. The instant Gabe is out of the picture, I expect to hear talk about how “you don’t understand, we have to fuck out users, won’t someone please think of the IPO?!”

    olafurp , in PlayStation's CEO drastically underestimates the Steam crowd's patience, thinks PC gamers will buy a PS5 for exclusive sequels

    I’m not playing games unless they’re down 50% since launch. 😏

    tfw_no_toiletpaper , in PSA: A website called SteamHistory enables stalkers through Steam mass data harvesting. Here's how stalkers found me despite creating a new, private, anonymous account.

    It’s just a profile scraper, no? I tried my own and a few of my friends profiles. They were not indexed yet and because they all have private settings you cannot see anything else besides current Display Name and current Profile Picture.

    So you should tell your friends to set profile/edit/settings/privacy settings: Friend’s List -> Friend’s only. After that you create a new account and the scraper won’t be able to access their new friend list anymore.

    Edit: Also why is this post written that way, I was unsure if AI generated or some attempt at a novel, or am I going crazy??

    RunawayFixer ,

    I found that it read like a fluff dramatization story from a The Guardian opinion piece, only shorter. Those are texts with a lot of words, but there’s usually very little actual substance relative to the length of the text, most is just meandering embellishments. So imo not necessarily ai, humans do write texts in this style as well.

    autonomoususer , (edited ) in Steam is now banned in Vietnam

    This is only possible because Steam is (1) anti-libre software plus (2) service as a software substitute.

    jsomae ,

    Based.

    I hated steam when it started. I’ve grown to realize it’s much better than any alternative. But I still miss the pre-steam days.

    Rakonat ,

    I was furious that I had to download steam and install steam to play new vegas on pc at launch (as well as the box I bought from gamestop not having a the game inside but rather just a pamphlet with a cd key) I was later infuriated by New Vegas at launch and the utterly broken state of the game with each week a new but preventing progress or outright crashing game.

    But now days I’m reasonable happy with (Steam) it, it’s not a perfect a solution but at least tries to uphold the gamer/consumer experience, unlike shotboxes like origin or epic games which were nonstop ads and snooping through your files outside the directory.
