minus-squareMwa@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months ago … Does anyone still wonder why I boycotted all other gaming platforms other than steam? what about GOG?
minus-squareTruscape@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoGOG is awesome but limited - I can’t think of any modern multiplayer game sold on GOG. Lot of great singleplayer ones though.
minus-squareMwa@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoI assume Steam makes it easier to make multiplayer games then GOG?
minus-squareTruscape@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoMuch more so - I think largely because of Steam’s game server networking and update infrastructure. Also anti-cheats (of any sort) and DRM-free games are kind of oil and water.
minus-squareMwa@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoYep, and i know this Cause one of my friends has that steamworks sdk and he finds steams api easier to work with (for multiplayer)
