Yeah, but, the argument here was about including some sort of Steam client with the EGS version of the game. And I'm saying I don't think Steam offers a "stripped-down" client like Epic, EA, Ubisoft and others do.

There a lot of cross platform games. Beyond that, what you're saying makes little sense.

The post:

The comment I'm replying to:

Then make the Epic version include Steam instead of vice-versa

My comment: I don't think that's possible because I don't think Steam offers their services/a mini-client in the way you're proposing.

It's cross play. Idk whatelse you want.

[–] tb_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I have expressed no want. The user I was originally responding to appears to want cross play not through Epic.

Are you misunderstanding me on purpose?

Kudos to you for staying friendly and on point through this whole comment chain, just reading it I felt my blood pressure rise.

I honestly don't know. Apparently I have absolutely no idea what either of you are talking about, as it doesn't exist. Shrug

The post is about the Steam version of Space Marine 2 shipping with Epic services. This was done for cross play.

The initial comment I replied to was about "why don't they ship Steam services with the Epic version instead."

I'm saying that Steam services don't exist in such a way (to my knowledge).
