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

what about GOG?

[-] Truscape 3 points 1 month ago

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 month ago

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

[-] Truscape 1 points 1 month ago

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)
