Hey everyone! I noticed that the discussions around the recently released self-hosted alternative to Steam and Origin, have been focused on its controversial name. Let’s shift the conversation and talk about the features you would like to see or wouldn’t care about in this software.
The only thing I would remotely be interested in for the purposes of what Steam does, but on a decentralized platform, is having multiple backups in case of server outages.
Ideally, I don’t want a service like Steam at all. I just like having an off-site backup to my games. I also don’t really want to have “crack pipe download” be in my search history.
What a hell is this “self hosted alternative”? I you talking about pirating games??
Isn’t it called BitTorrent?
open source, preferably AGPL.
I’ve not heard of this controversially named platform. What should I google?
There seems to be a lot of limp-wrist ninnies there clutching their pearls because a pirated game software manager suite is called “Crackpipe”.
