!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

There are lots of games you can play without even having steam running.

Yeah, steam offers a free(?) very basic DRM for developers/publishers to use but they don't have to use it and loads don't.

Steam is a marketplace.

Imagine a world where steam used it's monopoly for good.

With great power comes great responsibility, and steam abdicated.

What is it you think Steam should be doing that it isn't?

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Refusing to allow DRM on it's platform. How is that unclear from the context?

Because it was in reply to someone saying
