Valve vetoes indie game Paranautical Activity from being published on Steam because it bypassed Greenlight by finding a publisher instead.
Finally, the Vietnamese government has officially responded to Steam being blocked in the country.
VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
If the game is crap then yes there will always be negative feedback it comes with the territory. It's called word of mouth or welcome to the internet. Where the truth about a game comes out really fast whether the game is good or crap. If you can't handle the criticism because of a game then why publish the game. Why should people who never criticized or even played the game be punished? Vietnam has some really screwed up laws block Steam because they don't answer us rule. And going on a witch hunt with Steam please. Where's the proof, where's the evidence of this witch hunt. Somebody is butt hurt and has a Vietnamese Karen leading the witch hunt.
The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.
It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.
Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway
This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.
So where is the outcry?
This article is a very good (and very frightening) example of why Steam is killing true creativity within the indie gaming community.
Indie-heavy platforms like XBLA and Steam have become some of the worst platforms for indie gaming after they let their power go to the head, so it's no surprise to see indies seeking other avenues.
Valve has greenlight because they only want the good indie games on the store that people will actually play.
Has anyone actually read the article before posting & having a go at Valve?
How can you argue with them blocking a game that developers didn't want to further support & just wanted to give a bribe so they could fasttrack the game to sell to customers with no further QA..... and you people are arguing that Valve are out of order???
Strange people in the world these days.
Jesus whats with all these comments, does anyone here even know how Greenlight works? people vote on a game or show interest so valve could put it up on steam. if its crap then valve wont accept it. and the problem with this game was way more complicated (publishing problems with adult swim).
