Aye but the ten year run of marketing the game during development was probably pretty nice.

At least three, as far as I can tell. Probably more.

“Probably”? I think the only advertisement I’ve ever seen from Valve was for Half Life: Alyx when it came out a few years ago. Not exactly brainwashing kids

Additionally, kids are not the largest group on steam. According to Statistica’s Consumer Insights Global Survey, the majority of users are 30-39, with the next largest group being 20-29 https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1242344/steam-us-user-share-by-age

Well, they’ve accidentally made a really easy workaround, then. Just download the day one depot and you can play without Denuvo.

So it’s a horror game that only works in houses with modern appliances.

I didn’t see it mentioned here, but if you used their adware services they would waive the fees.

Reckon a lot more people are playing on Gamepass then on Steam.
