Where. I keep reading it over and over and the only one I can find is someone derisively commenting on "the same way it applies to other streamers".

Twitch guidelines are basically written in such a way that they can just freely do whatever they want and this "rule change" seems to continue in that spirit, singling out vtubers.

Yes, the model. Vtubers typically don't show their real appearance. Some do, but some don't.

vtubers are streamers or content creators that use a puppeted avatar, instead of camera feed of their real face/body.

Some avatars are quite risque, but this rule apparently only applies to the avatars, while the real stuff is still fair game.

No they don't. The dev has to opt to use Valve CEG (custome executabke generation) for that to be included in the game files, and that is entirely optional.

On these games, you can do exactly what you suggest.

Here's a list.

Heroic can actually do that too, now.

Not sure what you mean by with or without GOG, but their whole thing is that none of their games have DRM.

AFAIK, you end up with identical installs even if you use Galaxy to download and install your games, and the installs will continue to work even if you uninstall Galaxy. The actual game files are exactly the same.

I think the installers boil down to convenient self-decompressing archives for getting the game files onto your machine.

If you have the game files for a GOG game installed using any method, those can be moved around, copied, and run with no problem.

Build software using contractors.

Use software to make game using contractors.

Finish game, end contracts with contractors.

Company now has literally no-one on payroll who still knows how to do anything with their "in-house" tools.

Fuck everything up for years, and get literally nothing done, because you keep trying to finish things with a revolving door of contractors who all have to learn to use your in-house crap made by other contractors who aren't around to answer questions or update documentation.

Switch to UE5 because all the contractors already know how to use it, as you won't consider hiring actual employees again.

Note that a lot of games on steam don't have any DRM, either. It's probable that if you have large library, a lot of your installed games will run without steam, if you go and start them from their exe.

So you can likely archive at least some of your steam games by simply keeping them installed, or even squirreling away the install folder somewhere.

Sony is trying really fucking hard to piss off PC players, right as they were warming up to playstation games coming to PC.

Yes, but you can no longer buy just the "complete edition". The only way to get and play zero dawn on PC right now, is to buy the bundle that also comes with a preorder of the upcoming, more expensive, remastered version.

I can only add a bundle to cart, one which includes both zero dawn and its upcoming "remastered" version. I can't buy just Zero Dawn.

Are you sure you can still buy the actual normal "complete edition" that came out on PC years ago, and not this more expensive bundle?
