I think when it was announced, there were some leaks that said these Game Key Cards would be the Switch 1 version of the game, along with a code to upgrade to the Switch 2 version. This would basically prevent you from selling it again. This was quickly refuted, but people still like to shit on Nintendo, so they don’t care.

Then you also have people complaining that games on other consoles don’t come with the game (not even pre-patch version or something) anymore, like Doom: The Dark Ages, just a few MB of data for authentication or something and the rest you have to download. Switch now does basically the same, and it “only” has 256GB storage, plus the microSD Express card. But the games are also smaller, so I don’t know if it’s like you can only fit a few big titles on there (or one Call of Duty), and then you’re outta space.

Didn’t think Fandom had it in them. Very nice move, although my time watching or listening to GB are probably over.

I think I edited about a minute after posting the comment, before anyone replied, but kept the general meaning.

I tried and failed to make a joke.

Yes, I was trying to make a joke, since you read it so often, that games on Steam always have DRM.

How can this be?! I thought games on Steam had to have DRM.

I don’t think so. They deny it, so who knows. There’s also the exploit allegations, that were mentioned in this thread, but there’s just no source for anything.

This got rejected from Steam in January and the C&D was in March, but in between that Valve updated their Source SDK to add all TF2 source code, so it’s not like they’re completely anti-mod.

As usual, Valve doesn’t communicate with anyone, so who knows what’s going on there.

People are saying the reason is that they used/worked with leaked CS:GO code, which Valve doesn’t like, but the devs deny it.

Germany is weird with the Wolfenstein games

Not anymore. You can buy the non-german Wolfenstein games for a while now (since 2019).

I think I remember that around the release of This War of Mine and Wolfenstein 2, there were some more discussions about just flat out banning Nazi symbols in video games, and treating them as art.

Porn and Hentai games are still pretty much all blocked on Steam, and some gory stuff, which I don’t get. You can’t buy Dying Light (but you can buy the DLC) on Steam or GOG, but Doom, where you’re ripping apart demons, is ok.
