Do you have examples where what they said isn’t true?

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Valve "played capitalism so well they broke it" and now Steam can never be replaced, former Epic dev says: "I don't think this is fixable"English
1·4 days agoI mean, I feel like they put the client download front and center because the vast majority of people don’t actually want to manually download their game installers. The option is still very much there for those who do and collapsible sections like that are very common in interface design, though I am not sure why yours even looks like that when mine doesn’t. Either way, that is not something I’d call a dark pattern. You still get the DRM free game installed either way, so I find what you’re complaining about to be such a non-issue.
Edit: Actually, upon further inspection, Hollow Knight is collapsed for me by default but none of my other games are. Who knows why, I still think it’s a non-issue though and not as nefarious as you are implying.

1·9 days agoYou need to go through some dark path to find the true installer. At least it was the case a couple years back.
No? Literally just go to your games page on the website, click the game, and “Download Offline Backup Game Installers” is right where it’s been for as long as I can remember.

Have you looked at any of the console stores in recent years? They’re all also infested with garbage.

61·24 days agoYeah, I’m sure Claude’s 133,000 lines of code written in the span of a week were thoroughly vetted.
Tired of this slop garbage.

I mean, is that not the implication of responding to what they said with “imagine thinking this way”?
