Them being portable makes them actually useful though for me, unless there was a way to use them from a phone to login to a website on a desktop/other device.

Being able to login into a password manager and use a passkey is great, passkeys need to become mainstream to get everyone away from passwords, but they can't be locked locally onto one platform or you have issues. The regular joe won't be backing them up from their iPhones or whatever.

I don't see why a local option wouldn't exist though, perhaps they will come once passkeys have matured further.

They always forget in their arguments too, that being able to move people around is better economically for the whole country rather than businesses or the state trying to profit off people buying train tickets.

Call of Duty is known for recycling as much as possible to pump out yearly games, I was actually surprised to hear they convinced management to give them time to rebuild the engine.

Besides, doesn't Bethesda Game Studios have more employees than Infinity Ward?

The fuck do they mean they will try?

"Oh no there's no way we could possibly break out of these invisible shackles we put on ourselves"

They just dont want to invest the time to overhaul the engine or start from scratch. Even Call of Duty managed to do this.

Well that's just digital goods, not Steam specifically.

You do get all the files for the game, that will work for as long as the OS will run them, with or without Steam (this is as close as you can come to ownership for software). Rather than a license to use them files, which become useless if you don't run the game through Steam.

I do not disagree?

Steam sells DRM-free games too, you can download them and then uninstall Steam and they will work. In this case though, on top of purchasing the game, you are buying a license to download updates for it through Steam. It's a developer decision.

Or more likely, they will just move the domain to be a generic TLD instead of a country code TLD, due to it's popularity in the tech space.

This is just false, the policy applies to both real people and avatars. It's even in the article if you bothered to read it.

Their policies are mostly fine, it's the lackluster and cherrypicking enforcement that is the problem.
