Continental mainland is what I was referring to, yeah, but I can't say I know much of anything about the Italian market.

Thank you. I provide links so infrequently I manage to forget the format by the next time I need it.

If local supplies are that limited, importing might be your only option short of catching a ferry to the mainland and stuffing a duffel bag with what you've been able to buy.

True but they didn't say 2 in the above comment and with 2 years off, it's easy to not realise the first wasn't released in the 2020s without checking.

I see the problem now. I'm not talking about active users or market share above, I'm talking about actors in the market. The examples of Steam and GOG are only two as opposed to the plethora of publishing companies that are actively against, or at least agnostic to the initiatives mentioned above. GOG stands firm on only selling games without DRM but Steam does very little in regards to get-rich-quick games. Advancing the general support of Linux is a great move, I won't deny that, but it doesn't fix a lot of the problems we have in the gaming market, it mostly just aids people who don't want to be on Windows.

Be honest, whose ass are you trying to kiss with such a nonsense statement?

It may not be the literal case but it's certainly the norm. Your two examples are outliers in the market. PC Gamer would be well aware of these if they're even slightly competent.

That may be true but with that kind of success behind them, one would assume they have the budget to finish their games without needing the support of the crutch that is the Early Access model.

Just call it malware. At least that's an honest name.
