Except that is a thing only for selling steam keys outside steam. There are no price parity clauses.

Also here is a gamedev saying that they’ll sell their game for a cheaper price on EGS: https://twitter.com/HeardOfTheStory/status/1700066610302603405

If what you saying was actually the case I am 120% sure Tim Sweeney would be all over it lol.
Lastly, there was ALREADY a case like that (Valve vs. Wolfire). The courts couldn’t find anything regarding Wolfire’s claims and then dismissed the case.
3·1 month agoYou forgot the part where the installer fails just right before the end. Every time.
Had this occuring on both my laptop and someone else’s that I was trying to install Bazzite to, which resulted in installing Fedora on their laptop instead (and back to EndeavourOS on my end), and even Fedora’s new installer errored out too. Thankfully the OS was working though.
I am suspecting your 6th point for that one, which even if it wasn’t I consider it a colossal failure on their part because it is NOT TELEGRAPHED AT ALL. I shouldn’t have to stumble upon random forum posts to learn about it, come on.
What about Fooyin?
What’s this made of?

I love how people immediately downvoted you to hell for this lmfao.
Like yeah, the guys on the comments: only people use rm -rf, absolutely no scripts use it at all. Something like motherfucking STEAM absolutely didn’t remove people’s data that one time. And hey, their so beloved
--no-preserve-rootdidn’t prevent that from happening. :DI love and currently use Linux, but my GOD some Linux people are annoying.
If something like
del C:\*.*somehow ended up deleting your D: drive too, we wouldn’t stop hearing the end of it, but here on Linux systems, it is a perfectly normal thing, and people somehow DEFEND this atrocity lmfao.rm shouldn’t exist at its current form. Full stop.

I think that’s just Win10 with RetroBar
10·7 months agoValve literally told the guy who spread the news on Twitter that they do not use Twillo as a SMS 2FA provider at all: https://twitter.com/MellowOnline1/status/1922458687316074640
Good on TechRadar for actually bothering to mention BleepingComputer’s article about it, but they still didn’t mention where the news originated from.
It all began in this LinkedIn post, which wrongfully claimed that the “leak” was coming from Twillo (Also funny is that this is an AI company): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/underdark-ai_cybersecurity-databreach-steam-activity-7327022917370703872-JqN3/
Then the Twitter guy got involved in it, then the “news” sites ran off with what the guy on Twitter said.
Lemme just quote this insightful comment in Steam subreddit as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1kmeoqo/steam_doesnt_use_twillo_no_need_to_change/ms9n1xx/
To clarify why changing your passwords is basically pointless
- Steam does not use Twillo for its MFA implementation. Twillo doesnt store the keys for the MFA implementation.
- Twillo doesn’t store passwords, meaning even if you assume Twillo was breached, it has no passwords to leak.
- Twillo only has a centralized MFA app similar to Google Authenticator. Again this does NOT STORE PASSWORDS
- If Twillo was compromised, the only possible vector would be an SMS hijacking attack, and that’s IF Steam uses Twillo as its SMS intermediary
- If we assume #4 then, which is a stretch, CHANGING YOUR PASSWORD IS POINTLESS. Its attacking the SMS network. You can change your password every other minute. The attacker can simply generate and SMS code and take over your account that way. Your password is pointless in this scenario
- If you are ‘paranoid’ and want to do something ‘actually useful’ remove your phone number from your account, which still again makes a LOT of assumptions above everything tl;dr changing your password is pointless, remove your phone number if you are ‘paranoid’
Change your passwords if you want to, but there is no need to panic.
Btw, selling 89 MILLION Steam accounts’ data for just 5000$? Really???
Like legit, the guy hates Ataturk’s guts, yet these idiots claim that he is a Kemalist.
I want what they are smoking. Must be some pretty good shit.
Ah yes, the guy who had no ill will towards anybody, tried to unify people to the best of his ability, and provided cheaper food for the poor… is a Nazi!
Holy shit, the sheer stupidity needed to come up with such a take!

I too have installed Win11 Pro several times on computers, captain obvious. I know you can do that now.
I am asking that how did you reach to the conclusion that they won’t remove it in later builds from the article itself.
It doesn’t state anything of the sort in the article. Where did you read that?
There is none of them, because there is absolutely nothing connecting the former to latter. Since Neowin stated it themselves, the burden of proof lies entirely on them and they literally cannot provide any.
To quote the “article”:
While it’s doubtful you’ll see ads in KDE’s core applications, it would be possible for distributions that wish to further monetize their work to fork these applications, placing ads in them.
Neowin is the web site where their writers can stupidly claim that Qt getting an advertisement module means that KDE will have ads in their apps soon.
Stop linking to them.
It comes from Terry A. Davis’s description of CIA, FBI and the like: “They glow in the dark”
Except this particular ban happened in 2023, way before the paypros got in the scene.
