Working on that actually! Specifically GoG and more outreach on Lemmy. And thanks for the advice! ๐
We're probably going to be deleting our Tiktok soon to likewise reduce use of US tech. Which really sucks because it's the only place we have any traction atm.
I have a question for devs. I don't want to support US companies, but I'd like to support US individuals artists/creators. I dunno if you're from the US, but is it possible for someone to wire money to a dev and the dev give me a free copy on Steam thereby avoiding the 30% cut? I'm assuming that's against the EULA...
It's against the EULA, but nobody is going to get caught. The main issue is that it's a pain in the ass and doesn't scale. You can do this for one person, but most people aren't going to be cool sending a payment to an address and just waiting around, hoping that they get a key. This is why Steam exists. There are other services that do the same thing that are not US based. GOG is based in Poland, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com
Ah, thanks. I thought so. I use GOG for this exact reason but not all the games I'm interested in are available there. I'll just have to play my backlog for now haha.
