This past few weeks Valve, the creators of the world’s most popular digital software and gaming distribution service, Steam, announced that next year they plan on releasing SteamOS, their own operating system designed to run on compatible machines and bring everyone's favorite Steam content right to the living room. Now the most important question here is; what does this mean to the average gamer?
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.

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?
It means nothing. It is a completely pointless endeavor by Valve that we can toss on to their growing pile of wtf'ery.
I'd like to know how they will be supporting directx games.
One of the biggest single issues with using Linux on PC's has been the lack of directx compatibility.
If it weren't for MS having directx locked down tight the PC industry would likely be enjoying a wide selection of OS's
to the average gamer it won't mean squat. don't let pc gamers fool you, they are a dying breed.
It means more options, and in the end better looking games.
Absolutely nothing. Even to hard-core pc gamers.
