feel like this is ultimately bad because it just means they'll make it harder to refund

i mean. i like steam a lot, but the return window was not adopted because steam thought it was fair, but mainly because they were being forced to by an australian law suit. so i don’t think this is an immediate fear

Do they exclude nvidia’s bullshit ~~fake~~”AI generated” frames?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago

Hopefully they list FG framerate and raw FPS, the overlay counter can already distinguish between them

And Valve keeps on winning the storefront war, without doing much besides quality of life features.

I like that this will put a spotlight on crappy engines and devs

Can it figure out my downclocked card? I can't run mine at default settings or it crashes. :'(

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

If I understand correctly it will allow players to input their hardware and fps for games. So unlikely, and even for not modified hardware it will be just an estimation based on what users say.

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 1 points 12 minutes ago

Why do you think it is based on manual input? It would make a lot more sense if the Steam software detected the framerate automatically while you are playing.

Yes, I got a prompt on Steam Deck asking if they could collect anonymised FPS data from my games !

I said no, but there will be enough people who say yes to collect that data reliably.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 9 points 5 hours ago

Steam on a Linux machine the only thing were I opt in to the anonymous data collection.

The 🚨 and 👀 at the start and end of the first part of the post I guess.

[–] belluck@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 6 hours ago

That’s just how these types of „news“ accounts on twitter write, they did that before ChatGPT too
