That’s a transfer within the platform, very different from the scenarios I described. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.
You can’t open a support case and tell them “sorry I actually wanted this game on GOG, can you transfer it to my account there?”. At best you could ask for a refund, obviously if you’ve played the game enough you wouldn’t even be able to ask for that.
But that wouldn’t give you a Steam copy, which is the scenario I was describing, along with the inverse mentioned in the original comment. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.
Also in your case, the receiver would only have that one offline installer, the game wouldn’t be in their GOG library, and they wouldn’t get future updates.
There is none in the way of a transfer. Neither Steam nor GOG will give you a copy of the game in exchange for another platform’s copy, nor give you a copy on a competing platform in exchange for theirs.
provided the technical protections measures used by the Game support such transfer
This boils down to if your method of ownership supports it, you can do it. Neither Steam nor GOG support it. A physical disk copy would support it, for instance, so you’d be entirely allowed to transfer ownership of your physical disk copy of the game.
You can never truly know about almost any online service, you kinda just have to take their word for it, do some research, and pick the option that best matches both the performance and philosophy you’re looking for.
Yeah if you’re going for a game that’s mostly Pokemon-based, this ain’t it.
It’s just ARK but pokemon instead of dinosaurs, and you don’t lose them when they’re killed, and it has some of that botw/genshin exploration/collectability sprinkled in. It’s fun, but it’s a survival first, mons are one of the gimmicks.
That’s exactly what this is. It’s ARK meets BotW plus pokemon, but the pokemon actively help around your base, you don’t lose them permanently when they die, and you carry them in their pokeballs. And it doesn’t run as dogshit as ARK proper, so that’s something?
Yeah I sure hope they’ve learned from NMS and specifically underpromise and overdeliver, but most nervousness can be explained by him just being an introverted dork. I can relate.
Steam’s price settings page already has a very convenient Recommended Prices button that sets your game’s price to what Valve estimates would be okay for that region. For most devs, that’s perfectly adequate. Valve already did the homework so devs don’t have to.
Publishers that would want to charge more would likely just set the USA price anyway and forgo regional pricing.
And if you want to charge less than the recommended price, while appreciated, why?
That’s exactly the why. Whenever a peronist presidency fails (which is… all of them for the most part), people will vote for the “whatever’s not peronism”. It’s akin to people in the US voting “not rep”. You can’t think of this as right/left, it’s “populists you know that never fix things, vs someone else that might be a nuclear bomb on the economy and everything else but current status quo is already a guaranteed death sentence albeit slower so might as well try something new”. That’s the pendulum swinging hard in the opposite direction, people don’t vote for the status quo when in desperation and crisis. This time it’s just more extreme than usual. It doesn’t help that there’s not a single actually good option that you’d say “yeah, I can live with this” available.
Subjectively, it might be better for you. Sure.
It’s objectively better, functionally, than Google. Results tend to be better, more accurate, less ad-riddled, and you’re able to manually boost or block links to improve your own results.
TIL. And thanks for the Windows analogues. I like learning about stuff like this.
StS2 was being developed in Unity iirc, and they moved to Godot for that new game (and possibly also future games?).
