Back around 2010 or so, I discovered that if you had a physical PC game that was also in Steam’s store, you could type in the serial number on the game box and it would register and add it to your Steam library.

WAIT WHAT.

Does this happen even if the game wasn't on Steam at time of purchase so long as it has a Steam version now? Because that would be amazing.

Really glad I'm not the first to come here and say this. We're "firing" programs now? Come on.

This is a big thing killing my interaction with Lemmy as well. I want to like it, but I drop into a discussion thread and the top-engaged/boosted comments are spicy and almost designed to promote maximum anger. And I feel like, "Do I really, really want to spend significant time writing out a deeper comment to engage with this community...?"

Thanks for the shoutout! It's going to be a slow climb up, but I'm looking forwards to growing this place as well.
