Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • Even some of these features are transparent to users but not to devs, for example to say few:

    • Multiplayer (big one)
    • Microtransactions (eww!)
    • Steam Audio (support for specific Audio stuff, not voice)
    • Steam cloud (Save games)
    • DRM
    • Input
    • Key management
    • Playtest
    • Steam Voice
    • Valve Anti-Cheat
    • Stats and achievements
    • Workshop and not as important but relevant to some:
    • Virtual Reality support

    In a sense, this is not so different from what AWS is doing: Basically you offer a service with an API so your customers don’t need to create the thing from scratch, but at the same time they become dependent of your exclusive services.












  • Let’s put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we’re far, far, far away from it.

    As far as the iron age was from the metal alloys used in the Space Shuttle.

    Talking about AGI simulating higher intelligence at the level of a dog or a cat, dear I say a pigeon or a crow is as far fetched as expecting ancient Egyptians to harness the power of the atom.
