The Google Play store is likely to be demonstrably far, far worse

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 days ago

this probably happens with every software repository to some degree. lots of talk about exploits being spread through npm, aur. it's normal to some degree

If the FBI is involved, it means EA probably paid them to take out a rival

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 days ago

More like Epic, Sony, and/or Microslop

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 33 points 5 days ago

They really are desperate to get rid of Steam, huh?

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 34 points 5 days ago

Seems that way. Someone clearly close to the government and probably the EA deal is hell bent on eliminating Steam, not through competition, but through political leverage and bullshit lawsuit after lawsuit.

[-] omarfw@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

The investors who own the AAA market want steam gone because they distribute the indie games that are destroying the AAA market. Our current administration is fully of cronies who do the bidding of the ultra wealthy.

[-] moustachio@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago

Wild, they have will and resources to go for this—but not a literal pedophile cabal. The FBI just needs to be defunded and dismantled.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 7 points 5 days ago

No, they have the resources. It's just that the people in charge are telling them to ignore it.

Every game with EAC and Denuvo?

[-] TALL421@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

So strange isn't it, how multiple different levels of US govt entities are so interested in this private company. Surely they only have good intentions in mind. SURELY.

What I hate are the "people" who totally aren't partially composed of astrosurfers who act like Valve is the big baddie and can't see what's happening. It's sort of what happened to Google, but arguably they had it more deserved.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

valve is much better than average but is still a corporation doing bad stuff.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 5 days ago

A system is what it does and all that

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

kusner/saudis have a vested interest.

[-] treadful@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Almost like is it's the largest game distribution platform in the country or something.

[-] MigratingApe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 5 days ago

So, like, all games with Denuvo and kernel level anti cheat, right? Right?!

[-] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago

This bullshit is going to keep on happening until Steam goes public and Jared Kushner gets on its board.

[-] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

So where is the list? Article listed a few but insinuated there is a larger list.
