Added a startup check for incompatible AMD graphics drivers. We will now begin reversing VAC bans for affected players Fixed a bug in Windows 11 Auto HDR that led to smokes intermittently disappearing Miscellaneous bug fixes
Recently there was a thing where VAC would erroneously flag AMD’s antilag+ feature as cheating, and issue a ban.
AMD then quickly disabled the feature by default but now Valve also patched detection for it and is now, at least according to these patch notes, reversing the bans.
When I was a teenager I played the newest games too, so I won’t judge. Privilege of the young. Today my time is scarce, so I have the luxury of carefully choosing my titles, and I choose DRM free. But back then I would have “needed” to play the newest Assassin’s Creed.
There are loads of steam games without DRM and those that use DRM mostly use the Steam provided one that sucks if one actually wants to crack it. It basically only protects against casual copy attempts.
Still gives a good idea of the proportions though and I’m willing to bet that most of the Steam games missing are shovelwares that no one ever installed.

That’s extremely interesting, thank you!!
Nowadays the only platform I buy my games from is gog, I made the right choice it seems.
But people who need to play the newest games don’t really have a choice.
no one needs to play any game
it’s just a matter of how willing someone is to compromise on their principles for entertainment

And to be clear, that list is far from complete.
