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.
what about GOG?
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.
I assume Steam makes it easier to make multiplayer games then GOG?
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)
