I already have full editing rights for most locked articles. I don’t need to request anything.
- Comment on What game surprised you with their length? 5 days ago:
For me Portal as well. I knew back then that people said it’s an afternoon game but I thought “an afternoon for a good player, certainly not me”. Finished it in an afternoon.

This page is protected, you need to have made a certain number of edits to other pages before you can update it.
So? The approach in this case is to request an edit with the text you’ve prepared. As a seasoned Wikipedia editor you should be aware of this.
- Comment on Congratulations. 1 week ago:
And you don’t do it why exactly? It’s Wikipedia after all
- Comment on Ice cream machine is also broken 1 week ago:
You must live a very privileged life if you can afford to ignore a 50k reward. A Macces worker certainly can’t.
You’re falling for the lie the top 1% keep telling. No, it’s not the poor person’s fault to be forced into taking any chance they get to make some money. If anything, blame the CEO of McDonald’s that his workers earn so little. Also, direct some of your wrath at those who now enjoy a lavish feast by keeping the money, just because the “wrong” number was dailled.

I use my Deck docked regularly. In desktop use I see no benefit over Fedora and alike.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
The apple thing wasn’t about apple vs android for a monopoly. It was about how there’s no alternative option on ios for purchasing apps.
Nobody in the EU would have cared if the commercial app market wasn’t dominated by Apple. Plenty of devices out there don’t let you install random stuff off the internet but if the market dominance isn’t there, the EU won’t care.

Does the image have a source?
Yes, the image has a source and everything is detailed in the lower part of the image.
Also I don’t think just revenue some us the only Barometer for a monopoly. If something has very few users but had really high prices that they’re willing to pay for them by your metric they’d be closer to a monopoly than steam
But that’s exactly why the EU classified Apple as digital gatekeeper: iPhones have a lower installed base than Android in the EU but higher spending.
Given the massive popularity of Fortnite, I wouldn’t bet if Steam has a higher installed base than EGS. People just prefer to buy on Steam.

Dude, I embedded the source right in the comment you’ve replied to. 🤦
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Aren’t we all supposed to be against monopolies, steam needs competition
Steam is not a monopoly. The vast majority of PC gaming revenue is made outside Steam. Fortnite: EGS only, not on Steam. Minecraft: own web storefront and Microsoft Store, not on Steam. Roblox: I think it has its own storefront, it’s not on Steam.
Steam has an estimated revenue of 8.6bn out of PC gaming’s overall 45bn. It’s very far from even approaching 50%, let alone surpass it.
I don’t mind other storefronts. What I mind is people spreading the false narrative as if one of the most widely installed storefronts (EGS because of Fortnite) is somehow the little underdog.

No, Steam games do not have DRM by default. By default Steam is a mere download manager. For Steam DRM to be applied, the publisher has to run the drm_wrap command: partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/drm
Feel free to use SteamCMD: developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD
Where do you get those lies from? I’d kinda get it if Steam’s documentation for publishers was behind a NDA wall but it’s public.

- Comment on When will LW be updated to something newer than 0.19.3? 4 weeks ago:
Great, thanks
- Comment on When will LW be updated to something newer than 0.19.3? 4 weeks ago:
There should have been a pinned announcement post. Why isn’t this happening?
- Comment on When will LW be updated to something newer than 0.19.3? 4 weeks ago:
And when is it ready? Why is there no communication why it’s not?
- Comment on When will LW be updated to something newer than 0.19.3? 4 weeks ago:
there were significant issues with 0.19.4
I don’t know. There’s severe lack of communication regarding such things.
there are still some issues that are important for us
Such as? There’s no communication here of what’s going on.
0.19.6 was released 10 days ago and already had a followup release 0.19.7 to fix some new issues that were introduced in 0.19.6.
No software is ever free of bugs, especially not one starting with a zero version number.
if there are any laws stating that this is required to be possible as self-service i’d love to see references for that, because for all i know this is not the case.
Privacy laws here in Germany and probably the rest of the EU say that ther must be no avoidable delay in the deletion request of user data. 0.19.5 and newer have that feature, therefore by choosing not to update there has to be an avoidable delay.
That said, there is no communication of news and roadmaps. Maybe on proprietary Discord but not here.
- Comment on When will LW be updated to something newer than 0.19.3? 4 weeks ago:
on Fedihosting / LW we focus on stability and we target a version that has at least 2 versions released before we upgrade.
0.19.7 is the 8th version already, so…
We do this to catch all the bugs that gets noticed and patched.
LW is currently still violating privacy laws because users cannot delete uploaded media.

Xbox is locked down and barely has any security issues on user hardware.

Not a single Microsoft game runs natively an Windows ARM.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 5 weeks ago:
Also it’ll be running windows
Xbox’s Windows is not the same as PC Windows.
- Comment on Phil Spencer Confirms Xbox is Planning an Xbox Handheld, But It's a Few Years Away 5 weeks ago:
So, Microsoft – how’s Windows for ARM coming?
Phil Spencer doesn’t even know his employer makes ARM computers. Not even Microsoft Solitaire Collection has a native ARM port.
- Comment on Windows 7 and 8 now dead for gaming, as new Steam update pulls support 5 weeks ago:
Probably not. The main culprit is probably the bundled, Chromium-based web renderer (CEF), not Steam itself.

My Steam Deck runs most games just fine.
- Comment on Premium Ads 5 weeks ago:
I get ads on premium sometimes. I think it’s a fluke but def unacceptable
That’s among the reasons why even with premium an ad blocker is required.

Fuentes sounds like a Latino name. Trump should have him deported.

Also the market is pretty saturated at this point. People who want a Switch got one years ago.
