Sony has a patent for something like this.

>I have not seen that referenced much so I am curious how many people that is the reason vs just some weird loyalty to Steam.

Yeah, probably a healthy mix. The achievement and stats consolidation is via word of mouth and conversation I have had over the years. I don’t have data to back that up. I’m sure the /r/pcmasterrace folk would have something to say about it though.

I totally agree with your rant. It’s ridiculous that folk want to complain about this.

One reason I’ve heard is the stats and Achievements consolidation.

Cross play solves this somewhat but it’s not consistent.

PC is my main platform but I also have an Xbox (NHL games not available on PC), everything else is on Steam.

I wouldn’t buy a PS5 for an exclusive. TBH exclusivity is annoying and I don’t want to reward it.

Looks as though this Comcast “security feature” can be disabled via your account settings.

Also, DNSSec?

I agree.

I’ve met countless gamers who will simply not buy or play a game if it isn’t available on Steam.

Myself included, and all of my gamer friends.

I love the consistency and simplicity of Apple Pay, be it online or IRL.

I guess this helps to provide a similar experience online, but with support for all payment methods.

What country has this? Sounds great.

I liked the look of this:

>BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is this kind of access in the inbox. It sets you apart from all the others by showcasing your brand and legitimacy to your users in the inbox by displaying your logo and, in some cases, a verified checkmark.

Until I looked at the cost of a Verified Mark Certificate (1-year plan):

>$1,499.00 USD [1]

Yikes.

Small money for big players, but small businesses with valid brands not so much.
