Though I agree, I think my issue previously was that they were specifically blocking it on non whitelisted platforms. I'll see if I can find the thread.
I mean, based on the last time I talked to Nvidia support about how why the app didn't support various platforms, it just means they will now support that specific distro. You're still going to be SOL if you have questions or issues on any other.
Okay, to reverse the question then - have you ever seen anything that supports there being something contractual to say thar non--Steam copies can't be sold at lower prices? Like, the terms you mention above? I've read the public docs, and can find nothing.
I can think of multiple times when, e.g. Ubisoft games, Rockstar games, have been sold on EGS or their own launcher for far cheaper than the version on Steam - so we're both supported by anecdata, here.
I think they mean the voters you mention may well be different people to the people talking to the news or whatever about how they're welcomed, beloved, etc.
One loud voice isn't representation of the entire district, etc.
Sorry, I'm confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we'd have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.
Do you think they don't intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.
Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn't have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?
... Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it's weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren't said. They say enough; if you can't make complaints based on reality, that's a bit lazy.
Edit: for what it's worth, I'll "move the goalposts" on this one if you come back with some nonsense around how they haven't delivered anything yet. I've played a fair few hours on my ship (probably a few hundred over the last decade), despite not having invested millions of pounds.
