definite boomer

And I don't have time

wut

time is reasonable

i probably own/play more retro games than the entire discord server put together, and even i wouldnt go as far as 'new games r shit'

The DRM should be done via webservice

Eccles, literally every company on the internet abandoned operating systems at some point. There is no sense in keeping a system up to date if the chances are it won’t be able to support it in the future. They probably abandoned your OS because the architecture used to create it is so old, that their next updates would probably destroy your computer. That isn’t their fault. It’s yours.

the DRM is one-time activation

you literally have to download the game anyways

You're missing the point, Gespa

I...

I cant

too much autism

too bored

It's deliberate building in of deprecation

that's not actually true

It’s literally not.

That's why I argued at the outset you're renting the game, not buying it

at some point youre forced to leave old systems behind

Of course you are

But on games on CD/DVD or older, provided you have the hardware you can always use them

try to buy a SHA1 SSL certificate so you can support clients that don't support SHA256. just see who will sell you one

And what's more important, is given the direction of travel, you will find people being banned on Steam for poltiical views or in-game behaviour

that’s also not true. Steam states in their EULA SPECIFICALLY that you are PURCHASING digital copies of the titles you buy. You have executive rights with whatever you do to them, which is why you have clear access to steam/steam apps/common and it’s not all hidden in a secret folder where you can’t touch it.

Or whatever the platform is at the time (Stadia etc)

steam are definitely not immune to political posturing - remember 'Hatred'?

Also, it’s not planned obsolescence. Your OS is deprecated. It is dead. It will die soon as all programs update around it. Either by abandoning support, or the programs simply becoming too advanced for your machine to handle. That is not the fault of the companies for advancing their programs as the technology advanced. That’s on you.

It's planned obsolenscence

And you’re retarded.

I’ve said all I’ve needed to. You clearly don’t understand what you’re talking about.

@system11 you mean when it was brought back

and Gaben apologized?

reputation seems clean to me

Gespa - if you decide you are going to stop supporting an operating system, then that is planned obsolenscence

That's what the term means

We will stop support x at time y

that's

not

planned

The reasons are entirely reasonable
