If you actually like PLAYING your vidyas after you've boughtened they're licenses, I highly recommend choosing another platform, such as GOG as soon as possible. Why? It is because the entire world's monetary system is going to undergo transformation before 2030, and by than you will have a system more akin to a Social Credit Score. Because you're ownership is already 100% digitized on Steam, it requires down from governments that you're only allowed to open the digital licenses once they have allowed it. This can be during high carbon score for example, or when you've performed you're weekly government tasks and no sooner.That means then you might be unallowed to play games you've boughtened depending on digital rules that you don't know yet. It might even be so a 30 year old man cannot play games sold with women as they're target audience.But if you pirate the game, or get a DRM-free copy from a site like GOG, you will be able to play them as long as you're OS allows it. Let's hope Microsoft does not lock down .exe file licenses before then, ha ha ha!
I'm not reading all that.
got about 1/3rd of the way through your schizo babble I'll just pirate
>>727749751>It is because the entire world's monetary system is going to undergo transformation before 2030, and by than you will have a system more akin to a Social Credit Score.Source?
>>727749867.
>>727749867Have you not been paying attention? Do you not see how they have been laying the groundwork for the infrastructure to support and enforce this, or the social conditioning to get you gradually more comfortable/desensitized to not actually owning anything or having basic human rights contingent on following some arbitrary rule/law?It's coming, and it can't be stopped
>>727750012It could really be stopped if we startened to go outside but we all rather would play games, no blame! But at least don't use Steam, or you will be cheated into wasting all you're money, when the games can't be used at you're own decision.
>>727749751>the grammar
>>727750012You niggers always have an answer for everything
>>727750297What are you calling me? Please read all.I'm no grammar, in fact I'm just a man. Somewhere over 30 years old, not old ha ha
>>727749751You forgotened something very important, you wont be able to played games at all. By the time this system is in place, just using a computer will be very taxing on your carbon score, you will have computers to do basic work and use but gaming and graphics card are gonna be a thing of the past, this is why they trieded so hard to push cloud gaming.
>>727749751>80 games left on my backlogI got through 80 this year. Next year, it's gone.
I’m playing BSII on Steam just fine, so what’s the big deal supposed to be?
>>727749751So a big chunk of the anti-steam shit in the catalogue is gog shills?Your "service" is dogshit. You just repackage other peoples' mods and don't even pay them for the work you stole. You also aren't nearly as DRM free as you advertise.Get fucked.
reminder that we are approaching nearly 10 years of store wars threads
>>727749751This grammatical abomination goes beyond indian. Just what kind of mystery meat wrote this?
>>727750529No no no no no.Not a GOG shrill.I am here to inform everybody that using Steam is a scam! They are pre-compliance with the UN and Governments who want to change how we live, so the Organization at Steam is already doing what will work with the next plan!GOG might be shutt but at least you can use it now.
>>727750489Not yet, not yet, my little girl.It will come ;)
Most intelligent anti-Steam thread.
When Gabe dies all the Steam accounts will be deleted.
>>727749751>boughtenedWhat did he mean by this?
>>727750012>Source?>just open your eyes bro, look around
>>727749751read GOGs ToS, they're not nearly as ownership friendly as you think
>>727751842it's literally already happening retard
>>727754037No, this is different. This is just a game getting banned because governments are punked by feminist NGOs into banning games with sexualization of minors (mostly 17 year old characters, not literal kids) but it does run in tandem and shows that there's now a direct connection between our private usage and governments, while before it was at a distance, and governments only interfered if there was some sort of criminal investigation, and any gaming censorship was flagged before release by commonly known rules.What OP is talking about (I suspect some sort of saudi guy) is that in the future everything that's actually available is hooked up to a Government System. Games, and anything else that's also "Digital" will be tied to the tracking that's being done of your private life 24/7 through your government account. The Digital ID that the brits are screaming about is already out in other countries and coming to the rest of EU. The US is also installing Age Verification in the majority of its states now.When this is live everywhere, the next thing that happens is that DRM-services will become limited, so we can buy games on DRM-platforms, but we can only access them while we're given green light, which could be just certain weekdays, or based on behavior.There's video footage of governments planning these things at the WEF, the WHO and UN in the last 5 years, and talking about "behavior scores" and stuff like that. And the dangerous part is that all the environmentalists and NGOs ran by women have an interest in controlling the "incel problem" so they have so many reasons to target and problematize gaming as something that needs to be given special government oversight under the upcoming system.According to the pajeet OP Steam is apparently "pre-compliant" or something, so they already know what's gonna happen and are already building it into the future of Steam, and their new Steam consoles.
Astroturfing should get the death penalty
>>727749751Ye, already underway.
>>727753349No, they're exactly as bad as steam because the selling of licenses is a digital product law or something. And nothing lasts forever especially when we talk about businesses. GOG can only get their DRM-free copies through deals with publishers, and occasionally they lose them again, like Warcraft 2 because Blizzard under Microsoft decided to revoke it.But on GOG you can download and store the installers, and those installers have no online-check requirement. My external SSD has 128 GOG game installers downloaded to it. Don't use GOG Galaxy, just download the installers that are down lower on the game page. Then as long as those aren't somehow checked by Windows (they don't do anything to verify .exe files yet in that way AFAIK) you get to install them, even if they're removed from GOG.On Steam you can download games they delisted, and play them, like I have Alpha Protocol and it got delisted from Steam and it still works. But if they outright revoke or change the license accessibility, I could log into Steam in 5 years and discover that it won't let me launch it. but the GOG version I can always play as long as Windows works the same way as it currently does.
>>727754306>Games, and anything else that's also "Digital" will be tied to the tracking that's being done of your private life 24/7 through your government account. The Digital ID that the brits are screaming about is already out in other countries and coming to the rest of EU.Keep in mind though, that the EU version is going to be based on a type of cryptographic verification referred to as a zero knowledge proof - its main characteristic being that neither the issuer nor the verifier learns of the identity attached to the factum being proven. The hubbub about Google Play Integrity being mandated (which was false btw and based on some serious miscommunication on the part of the party implementing experimental public trial versions of the EU Digital Wallet) is because this type of system needs to go through an intermediary device that is only held by the end-user, to ensure no connection between the issuer and verifier exists - while simultaneously, since the cryptographic tokens contain no identifying marks that tie them to an associated government identity, said intermediary device should be tamper-protected. If not, people would find easy ways to copy tokens and have others use them in case of relatively benign cases like age verification. But there could be a much more disastrous effect of identity theft for more advanced cases where e.g. malware would exfiltrate the token linked to a driver's license ID, for instance. (Because the wallet actually CAN be used for official government identification purposes as well.)
>>727754037So show me a game getting removed for not being illegal. I mean from libraries, not from the listing.

The only services that will be zero-knowledge proofed are those built for EU to start with because this is about dislodging the EU from american tech, and anything made in the EU is compliant before it even goes on the market.The reason american apps will require unsafe ID scans instead of complying with the safer EU variant is because the EU will allow it to leak and pick up the data that way. When you use the EU-Zero Knowledge one you're still ultimately sending a log in your Digital Wallet, which is surveilled.
>>727755492I think you should have to prove you're over 60 to use the internet.
>>727749751I won't use anything else because I like Steam but everything you said is correct, yes. Good thread
>ANOTHER timdian thread
>>727749751If somehow my buyeredoighties loishensies get taken away I'll just pirate the games
>>727749751not reading your schizo theory. If steam goes down, i'll pirate them back, simple as that
>>727749751> Because you're ownershipThat’s it, the card is getting redeemed

>>727749751>Guys social credit system guys >anyway please go and buy stuff from gog which will remove games from their store if it makes CCP angry Please kill yourself
/pol/ fucking killed the site
>>727750429You will be allowed a 1 watt terminal that you will use to sign into the cloud with your real id. If you have a lot of carbon credits you could use them to stream a game or movie for an hour. Everything is monitored and affects your social credit score.If you try to circument this or use your own hardware you will be hunted down as a cyberterrorist and the normgroid goycattle will clap their hands and pat themselves on the back for saving the planet and stopping the pedophiles on the internet.
>>727755836buy it first.
>>727755862Kill yourself
>>727755962No.
>>727753234Tgis but unironically, you're literally blind and wont to be spoonfed but if you were spoonfed you would just soit it out anyways because you're NPC niggercattle.
>>727755875Nononono, this is the american POV on this topic.In the US you think everything is just about economics and carbon. That's also true of the masters in control here.But the cultural practice of this once it's gotten into the hands of governments, citizens and NGOs is largely also feminist-dominated. I live in Copenhagen where people eat plant-burgers made out of salad and veggie-beefs and share bedrooms and never buy new furniture or clothes, and you get police fines if you don't sort between 7 categories of trash bins with properly knotted trash bags.They will also be in control, so the 1 watt thing is just one aspect. The other is "solidarity" and "behavioral", which will be built in and popularized in the west especially. In China the rule is just discipline but in the woke parts of our countries what matters is being decent, environment friendly, and social. So they will use it to force behaviors, which was already said a while ago.They scrapped ESG to bring it back as a mandatory digital check that happens on the individual level instead of at the workplace. When you play games you have to be compliant now, instead of the game only having to be compliant against a careless user.So this time, you have to prove you're a very ESG good goy first, before you can play your ESG good goy games, and by the time you've normalized this you can't see what's wrong with the ESG stuff in your vidyas anymore, because you're built into the system yourself.
>>727750012But you said specifically that it was going to be implemented in 2030. Which means there is a solid plan with all the details ironed out, and not just an ideal. So what is the source for that?
>>727749751Nobody will believe me but I didn't make this thread.
>>727755249You're actually retarded if you dont think this will be backdoored as fuck.
>>727756232He said before 2030, so it could already happen in 2027.
>>727756159Yes of course but I dont see how any of that contradicts any of what I said. Anyways the system here is gonna be a lot worse than in china. The west is controlled by jews who hate white people (and to a lesser degree women who hate men) and they will use these systems to destroy us. Conversely, in china the system is controlled by chinese communists who are trying to build a utopian society where there is no crime and peoples living standards are being improved every year. They love china and the chinese. In the west we are ruled by jewish supremacists who want to exterminate westerners and build a global government out of israel.
>>727756232It's literally called Agenda 2030. They used to call it Agenda 21.
>>727756606UN is the top down control more than the rest. Their Human Rights system which was only meant to prevent the conditions that led to WW2 initially, has mutated into a behemoth for control as it's gotten overstaffed and the climate change hype has mind-poisoned the entire global civilization, and Women's Rights is just a first-line ticket to get to 50% equality before moving it out of balance with women getting their full comeuppance against men.The jew bit is a meme that's easily confused for other things. You can't discredit Israel's role in this, but they're ultimately not the UN itself, and the UN gets overlooked because it's a soft-power, but it's a soft-power that enables the hard-powers of the world to run the narratives that gets folks psy-oped into going with it. Gamers are the single most resillient and immovable objects in that whole scenario, and they still fear it.
>>727756789I understand you saying this as a dane but you're just wrong. It's illegal to candidly speak about the jewish question in europe, it's considered hate speech. It absolutely is a jewish agenda, all the talk about climate is just a bullshit idea they use to manufacture consent and get the NPC retards for their own ruination. Club of rome in their own writings admitted thet adopted the global warming concept because it makes human activity itself the villain.https://rumble.com/v6tsegh-rabbis-fantasize-about-the-destruction-of-america-.html
