Portal 64, they used the non open source code/tools, so Nintendo does have a bit of a case, hence why they are hesitant to give permission after the dev asked them.

One of those if they never asked, probably wouldn’t be an issue since valve never “knew of it”.

They used to disallow adult games, they don’t allow NFT or crypto.

They have drawn plenty of lines, and moved them when it benefits them. They are just like any other corporation, they just hide it really well and the fans forgive or hide the rest for them.

Lemmy has 3 different feeds with 8 different ways to sort them, atleast my viewer does…. What more do you want?

Curating a feed is best left to yourself, not someone who can tweak the algorithm to avoid certain posts showing up since they have an agenda.

Except it’s for any “game news”….., so if they are peddling another game of theirs, it shows up there as well. Or we are selling a plushie, it’s there in the same place. It’s not just patch notes dude… and never has been either.

If people bitch about ads, than they shouldn’t find those acceptable either. You can have a store and showcase products without the additional ads.

I believe they are what people call a hypocrite, they have LOL in their username.

That’s an apt comparison actually, since yeah stores do have ads as well as products….

Edit picture doesn’t seem to be working, here

If it gets in the way of communicating, sure. Butobviouslythatwasn’ttheissue here.

Ads are ads, just because it from the same ecosystem is moot. I don’t need the steamdeck paraded in my face on every page I view. It’s ads

It is, but steam does have its own form of advertising. Their front page is all ads for games and sales, go to your library there is ads for updates for your games.

It just seems to be acceptable since it’s their ecosystem content, but it’s still ads for all intent and purposes.

It’s already in some games unfortunately…
