Hey everyone.
Government of Türkiye is pushing a new regulation that would force Steam, Epic, PlayStation etc. to appoint local representatives. If they refuse? The whole platform gets banned.
They also want full access to user data and the power to arbitrarily ban “risky” content. This isn’t just a Turkish thing, governments everywhere are trying to pull this crap. They think blocking platforms will control us? All they are doing is driving people straight to VPNs and piracy. If you make it impossible to buy games legally, we’ll just sail the high seas for free.
Thanks for the boost, I guess.
That’s the thing. The vast majority of people are happy to support game devs and the steam service. That’s probably why this is not an issue causing vast losses.

I’m not sure the majority of games is DRM free though. But youve got a point.

It is the standard. It’s literally the default. Its mandatory for devs to opt in. There are zero cases on all of steam where drm is the default.
