What are EA doing with Valve? The lawsuit this came from is between Wolfire Games and Valve; far as I can tell, Valve and EA work together on some stuff.
Steam could use better search. Ideally I’d like to be able to just use SQL, but I understand why not.
There’s been a few times where I wanted to find something in Steam, but spent most of the emotion on clicks and fucks before launching something, concluding that yeah, I wanted this, and stopping it because I don’t want this anymore.
Steam DB has a pretty decent search. It’s not SQL but the filters are a bit better.
I know how you feel tho - so few consumer orgs give us an advanced search worth it’s salt. I want to have (x AND y) OR z, or maybe x AND (y OR z)… Not whichever specific combination was preordained for me.
Steam is successful because they’re the only company in that market treating customers right.
I’d be very upset if the courts side with EA.
Wait what’s going on in the courts between valve and EA?

I know it’s not as horrible as some.
If only this were still a thing in search engines.
and because they are not publicly traded company.
Well that’s why they actually do right by their customers. That said I definitely agree
