Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers (lemmy.ml)

Ig buying a game will give Valve + the dev/publisher Money (cause Valve Takes 30%)

Yeah. Go buy hollow Knight, or schedule 1, or anything from an indie studio. Support both good devs and studios, and valve. And you even get a fun game to go with your support. Honestly, everyone wins.

.... Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam?

You think you're going to get anti-cheat this good from the likes of epic? Ha.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Oh, right, they're cool.

Along with humble bundle. Those guys are cool too.

GOG is awesome but limited - I can't think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I assume Steam makes it easier to make multiplayer games then GOG?

[–] Truscape@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Much more so - I think largely because of Steam's game server networking and update infrastructure.

Also anti-cheats (of any sort) and DRM-free games are kind of oil and water.

Yep, and i know this Cause one of my friends has that steamworks sdk and he finds steams api easier to work with (for multiplayer)
