Exciting times for 3DS preservation! 😊

@anjospot It's already out!

Finally, our Matrix community is now open to join for other developers:

@ReneCatharsis That's... perfect! It will most certainly be unboxed though, so consider wisely 😅 Will send you a DM!

@HenryMoraB1 Appreciate the excitement! No change here, announcements and roadmap updates are published on

@offbeat No idea. Worth considering: Would you ask the same question if you were familiar with the technical details of Steam DRM and it didn't have "DRM" in its name?

@offbeat Fair point! I think it's reasonable to drop support for OSs years beyond EOL, but I can also see that it's frustrating if OS support is limited by the distributor and not the game itself. Maybe Valve heavily investing into Linux as a FLOSS alternative makes up for it a little.

@offbeat Important nuance: DRM is imposed by the publishers, not Steam. Even "Steam DRM" is optional (though it isn't really DRM in anything but name). Steam installs games to filesystem sandboxes, so they are easy to create a pseudo-installer from if you want to.

@XolotlVtuber Interesting, which games where those and what was the reason?

@offbeat That's shifting goalposts. I never see these points brought up as arguments for saying "you don't own games". Since they are valid points though: Which online account is *not* at the mercy of the provider? And what devices does Steam prevent you from using?

The degree to which industry lobbyists successfully went to restrict user autonomy is ridiculous. That is the debate we should be having. You dare putting Steam into the same basket? Come on. [5/5]

@DoctorLolygon Ah, gotcha. Interesting concept, thanks for explaining!

@DoctorLolygon Interesting, do you have any further information on this?
