minus-squareGrass@geddit.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 year agoDoesn’t steam let you download games you purchased that have since been removed? Will they try to bill developers still in this case?
minus-squaremustardman@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·edit-21 year agoYeah. You theoretically can financially DDOS a developer.
minus-squarePyr_Pressure@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·1 year agoCurious if they would charge once install was completed or once install commences. If I try to install a game and for whatever reason it fails, and I have to try again, would they charge for two installs?
minus-squaremosiacmango@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoProbally an api call that goes out to Unity once you start a game and the engine comes online. Im sure they would love to charge devs the instant we click a download link though.
minus-squareP03 Locke@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoAn API call that could be faked. Easily. Imagine a bot network that screws over a developer because of fake installer API calls.
