That was my point. They (forum users, I don’t think actual developers) insisted that it’s a middle solution. That I could use the application and whitelist only the browser and that some JS could bypass the VPN and get the real IP.
I got two years of Nord for that same reason, then two of Proton that’s about to end, so this was probably around 4 years ago.
I don’t have the source, but they confirmed it’s automatic. The caveat is that it is based on $ sold, not units. So the deck will count as 7 or 8 full priced games.
Browser extension for the VPN? I remember asking in the forums some time back and they were extremely hostile to the idea.

This is from an old interview, but I haven’t seen them retract
They already said SteamOS will be made available for OEMs and general users, they want to polish it before
The funny thing is that Google can’t make a big fuss about it without screwing themselves when they are inevitably sued for the same thing.
I guess its the right moment to redeem all keys and download all DRM free games.
We are going to see a new case of “you don’t own digital purchases” articles soon
Not sure if somebody mentioned, but you can export to one drive. So you can get a 1TB account for a free trial or for a single month and export everything there as simple files, no large zips. Then with the app download to the computer and then cancel one drive.
Pretend to be in California/EU and then ask full removal of all your data on both Microsoft and google
Keep that in mind next time you consider giving money to Microsoft. I definitely do.
I’m just playing devil’s advocate, and never es l was this name more appropriate.
Devil’s advocate: the login requires a server, so even old versions won’t work unless they keep them online. And without support, they will be easy target for hackers.
I hate this, and honestly the best would have been to not change the logging at all. I bought a game that didn’t need a MS account to play and this change doesn’t bring any benefit.
Vague memory, but they can prevent it from being on the (for example) Lithuanian Steam page, but they cannot prevent a Lithuanian from creating an Italian account and use it.
This is something that arose from Netflix forcing people to use their countries accounts.
It’s surely much more complex than that. Hopefully somebody can corroborate or correct.
FastAPI, not a language, but a very good python library, if somebody wants to read the story
As long as you wait, you are showing your support to it being epic exclusive with your wallet.
It’s a sad reality that I also participated in the past, but after the deck never again
The independent YouTube would have done the same really.
want to see a world where content creators are simply paid by the hour, while they work.
Do you? Because that’s how game developers get their ideas crushed in favor of yet another game as a service that nobody asked for but makes stock holders happy.
And for alternative creators, who would pay? Do they need to be churning content as a job and not because they are inspired?
I get the idea, it’s just that seems hard to pull off
No. And considering how they are gatekeeping the feature behind a 250$ purchase, it is very lucrative for them to keep it that way. Unless shit hits the fan and the players decide they won’t pay.
If only there was a way for dedicated fans to run their own servers for PVE co-op with friends…
I really wish they get to the point where we can expect long term with no breaking changes. I love it but I have been burnt twice, which is not a lot, but it was very annoying both times
I hope they get to release v4.6.1: “It doesn’t even matter”
You can still do CPU+MOBO (maybe ram), and few years later GPU. Upgraded GPU a few years ago, waiting for the refresh of 3D for mono,CPU and ram.
Drives I have the same, same as tower and fans. might put the PSU to rest.
Forgot about CPU cooler. That might need change.
