because i need to make this channel active
we literally had a massive argument
and i need to bully a communist
how much more active does it need to get
It is active. Fuck off.
mainly that
lol
well im going to play a game now. at least this convo was more fun and less dumb than, for example, media matters articles on how tim pool is right wing
nothing touches leftivists for dumb takes.
if it isn't open-source
it aint "owned"
in my opinion
Steam rarely if ever deletes user accounts, the only ones it does are those that are using them for criminal activity. That’s literally the only thing you can’t do on steam.
you get the product
and it can break
Fuck even VAC bans don’t disable you from using the service, just stops you from playing on VAC protected servers
it is even clearly defined *how* it can break
Literally nobody cares
no they arent
Well not open source but open
My bad
?
DRM-free you mean?
Nah, let me explain
Because of how steam’s integrity validation works, most of the game files have to be open or otherwise easily accessible so they can be read by the server and then compared to the most recent (or in the case of betas, the cached) version so that it can be repaired or reinstalled
uhhh
no
they just run a checksum
That's not what open-source means
Yes Eccles, I know
Which is why I fucking corrected myself
you can literally lock it into a few large pak files
and have a single executable
and the verification process still works
because it's a checksum, that's it
Fair enough
I’ll take that, I got it wrong
