There are games at 70$/€, 60, 20, 5 and 2… how would you compare all them? Tracking dollars*hours played ratio or whatever? … and then how you put DLC and bundle in the equation?

By Occam Razor I think this gives you an actual mathematical answer to a very specific question: which released product is emptying wallets faster?

Maybe not the best question to ask, but a question Gaben can answer while staying neutral: MSI (or any other company) could sell SteamOS handheld and doing so faster than SteamDeck. If MSI is not selling SteamOS handheld on Steam, it’s because they prefer handled with the OS from the same company that made Zune and Windows Mobile.

nah, me neither.

You can download games using steamcmd (command line) and pick only games that are DRM free on Steam. Valve doesn’t force DRM (even it’s own one) so, if you see a game that require DRM (Steam or whatever) it’s solely because the publisher put the DRM into it.

Once you’ve downloaded your drm-free game through steamcmd, you can basically zip the folder and store your game wherever you want… even on the cloud (your own personal space, if you share it publicly it’s piracy).

Also, you’re not even forced to use Steam: itch.io and GoG are preferable ways to buy games and improve your drm-free wallet-vote situation.

I’ve now edited the title to reflect that.
