Unknown buyer, what if it's TenCent?

That's some real bald-headed behavior if you ask me.

If it were just bad PR, publishers wouldn't be removing it from their games left and right. It's a flawed security system.

 

It's been awhile since I've noticed this honestly, probably around the time they refactored the library & different views for your games but I realized that those annoying self-updating client packages that would restart steam seem to be a thing of the past. I was looking through my download history and the thought occurred to me that Steam hasnt forced a restart on me in so long.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, it would be a popup like this that would come up 5-10 minutes after steam was running.

Ive had different stores & managers give me different policies. One told me the items needed to be shipped and sold from Amazon. Another told me it was only for items that weren't on sale. Another told me I couldn't price match a part that was in a bundle purchase. But yes, they respect price match to almost every major competitor.

Best Buy does some price matching as well.

You mean you didn't get your Trump trading card set, Bible or Golden sneakers?

At times, yes. But at most times, no. Certain games can capitalize on ARC and I was just as enthusiastic as everyone else when it first started making the rounds. But theres a reason the cards haven't caught on and most people seem to rely on them more for offloading things like streaming and AV1 encoding/decoding

Definitely, I'm not saying that there aren't any viable candidates out there now, but the title base for games that support Vulkan seems to be not even 1/10th of what DirectX 11 can support. It needs more acceptance I guess is what I mean.

We need a successful replacement to DirectX for this to happen.

Look how desperate they are now for their web browser, imagine when people start abandoning Windows because there are other options that work just as well. I can't wait.

While it's not 1 to 1, mastodon seems to always be getting mentioned with businesses abandoning Twitter and moving there. I use it but it's just not the same experience
