Not 100%, you can share your (almost) whole digital Steam game library via family share. There are very few games that block this feature.

That’s just false, you can still buy and sell the games that you bought on disk 15 years ago. It doesn’t matter that you only own a license to the software as long as you own the whole end product.

And this bullying thing, is that a new thing that never happened before the internet? The bans are this generations “video games cause violence” stupidity. You are only looking at negatives, never mentioning the positives things about the internet, I say the internet because the ban includes YouTube, which is hardly social media and is already incredibly censored. You probably wouldn’t be able to comment on this post if Ofcom gets wind of the UK lemmy instance, because the owner would have to shut it down.
Here’s what a more responsible person than me has to say about social media bans (machine translated with small edits from German):
Protecting children and young people must be a top priority. In the same way, children and young people also have rights that extend to the digital space: the right to access to the media, the protection of data and privacy, but also to the protection against violence and exploitation as well as the right to freedom of expression and information.
If children and young people are banned from using social media platforms, there will always be some or maybe even many that circumvent the bans. When these adolescents encounter dangerous or traumatizing things on the Internet, their inhibition will be much greater to talk about it and seek help. This will also be known by the adults who contact these children and young people on the Internet and put pressure on them. Cybergrooming, i.e. the initiation of contacts out of sexual interest, is already an enormous danger and we have to do everything we can to enlighten and offer help and not to slam the doors here.
In addition, it is problematic when young people are completely shielded from large parts of the Internet. They need to learn a responsible approach to it, and not only when they have turned 16 or 18 and can then be confronted with everything that can be found on the net without preparation. This only postpones the problems to a later date.
Children and young people also receive meaningful, interesting and socially relevant information via social media platforms. There is no daily newspaper in many families. Adults we young people receive information and news via social media. The media has adjusted to this and offers a lot of content there.
In rural areas, in the event of illness or for people with certain disabilities, social media is an essential means of keeping in touch. The same applies to people who have left their homeland and have contact with family and friends via social media. I think taking these opportunities from young people is wrong.
Also, the practical implementation is not as simple as it seems: in order to identify a certain age group, the age of everyone on the net must be checked. There are different options for this. This can lead to the platforms collecting even more data from all of us and, on the other hand, they are also error-prone. This means that some young people continue to have access and some adults do not. Both are problematic.

This would work best in an atmosphere of tungsten hexafluoride, which is the heaviest gas in the world. It’s ~11 times heavier than air. The downside is that you would melt down to a brown sludge.

You can’t steal a digital game and they don’t sell games. They sell a limited, revocable at any time license for you to play game.
Also, if you cannot sell this game you “bought” to me, you don’t own it.
Video game companies make heaps of money.

Ok so there’s this thing called “other games”, which sometimes require a different version to function. The game prevents you from making these changes to you own PC if you want to play it.

I said it prevents people from playing, not that it doesn’t work. See some steam reviews

It’s definitely true if you troubleshoot your system and change proton versions more than 5 times. Then you are locked out of the game you purchased and “own” for at least 24 hours.

- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 months ago:
The original image is bad because the game is rendered at a low resolution and upscaled likely using DLSS 4.5, I think this is intentionally deceptive. We know they have to be using DLSS 4.5 due to path tracing being enabled and running in real time which is extremely GPU intensive even for the 5090. That smoothes away every texture. Nvidia is trying to tie the gaming industry into being “AI default” instead of using normal rendering techniques, which, if done correctly look much better than this.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 3 months ago:
The textures are flat on purpose so the AI filter looks “more detailed” in comparison.
They don’t have to be like this, see this Callisto Protocol 2022 screenshot no weird AI filter needed.
