!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

All these shitty knock offs of Steam do this and I don’t understand why it is this way. Why Steam never has this issue but every other piece of shit knock off does.

I think Epic is even worse than EA and Ubisoft’s because it also re-requires 2FA nearly every single time despite me using it in the same location it’s always being used and me checking the box to remember me.

Honestly?

Steam probably puts more into security or something and has more confidence in themselves, and the others don't and they know it and so they have half-assed approaches that put the burden on YOU to reduce their risk.

And more importantly, valve understands that convenience is the biggest reason anyone would buy games from them.
