  • I think it's a gray area in that if you merely instruct people on it or distribute it as a patcher that contains none of the original code or assets, few would take issue with it, and if they do, their legal position would be much shakier compared to fighting piracy.

  • The problem is that quite often everything rests on that belief in someone else being there to check. Most of the time, even if some of the users are qualified to do it, they don't have the time to go through all of the code and then be on it through each update.

  • Thanks. Whenever I raised the issue of homophobia or his general support of right-wing causes that threaten people's privacy (see the aftermath of Roe v. Wade for example), I got downvoted, be it on the PrivacyGuides sub where they adore the browser, or right here just weeks ago.

  • Rocket League is cross-platform because it uses Epic Online Services. The multiplayer component offered by Valve on Steam and powering many of the games doesn't work anywhere but on Steam, making it a closed system limited to other Steam users.

    The bottom line is that yes, the game devs are free to use their own multiplayer systems but then what's the role of recommending Steam in the context of this post? Why not PC as a whole?

  • If accessible multiplayer is the metric, then the closed system of Steam makes it a poor recommendation. The cross-platform Epic Online Services available to any developer and store is better.

    Then conversely, Steam offers the Big Picture mode making it easier to navigate for those used to consoles, though the beauty of PC is that you can use both and for free.

  • Signal. Privacy.

  • I wouldn't go as far as to say he asks for permission, but it's very clear that he is effectively a Russian propagandist now that he's choosing to be left alone in exchange for focusing on bashing the US and being quiet about Putin's regime even despite the invasion.
