And offer refunds if you suddenly can't play anymore. Or not even sell in those regions anymore.

@gamingonlinux I guess though if it was required when they purchase and they encounter it. They would then be able to refund assuming they try to launch it straight away.

@gamingonlinux I'm just interested in which games can be played offline, including multiplayer. There are LAN tags that devs often don't use, disclaimers in the Steam Deck verified window that are sometimes incorrect, and sneaky mandatory online connections for single player EA games that you need to dig around in the fine print. It's a miserable experience trying to figure out what I'm buying when I care about this stuff. The best solution I have now is to check the PC Gaming Wiki.

@gamingonlinux Cool idea, I like it

@gamingonlinux
And while they're at it: They should make it clear(er) for games in Steam that require an external launcher. I am so sick if coming back to games that previously ran fine on Proton but now suddenly don't because the maintainers decided to add a launcher that fucks stuff up.
@Natanox

@gamingonlinux I disagree. The same case could be used for tons of other stuff that someone think is an important factor, while it doesn't matter for others.

There should be a limit on amount of onscreen pop-up bloat the user receives.

It should be well visible on the store page, but there's no need to babysit every step taken by the buyer, else they'll hurt their finger. Also, there's a refund period in case you felt mislead, so it's not like there's any room for nefarious practises.

@gamingonlinux had this a few times. Bought a game, downloaded it, opened it, and immediately refunded it because I can't play without creating some bullshit external account. Luckily Steam accepts "it needs an external account" as a valid reason to refund.
Bethesda, you would sell more games if you let us play with our Steam accounts. Just saying.
