Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Doesn't like the game he is eventually promising to finish require always online DRM? So ofc he wants to shut down something that would require him to long term support a product he's invested into but hasn't even brought to market. Super transparent conflict of interest.
In theory, if he actually finished and released his game relatively soon, he could do whatever he wants still.
One popular misconception about the SKG initiative is that it will require currently existing games to change to become compliant. That's not actually what they're asking for. They want new laws to come into place that would affect future games made. The SKG initiative fully accepts that there are some existing that are likely beyond saving.
……you mean Steam?
Steam itself isn't online only drm. It literally has an offline mode and as long as the games themselves aren't online only you can play them offline.
Along not all games on steam are DRMed it's on the developer to put DRM on the game or not.
Lmao. Hey it's not a monopoly as long as GoG exists!
