Another useless client. Really don't understand this trend of giving up control of your pc to somebody else.

Have you seen anyone about your problem? I know I make many spelling mistakes, especially when typing on a tablet, but just to make sure.


OT- I tried to download the launcher to see what it is like, but I can't find it? The page their is just links to some mods. Am I blind

Also, it can't be as bad as Galaxy...

Just another snooper on our P.C's and like the others,they can stick it.

I'm not opposed to another client, I'd be even happier if they could swallow their pride and use it to distribute other companies software too. Of course releasing DRM free would be even better, but that is unfortunately unlikely to happen.

Bethesda having their own client, as long as it's usable, means you at least have the option to buy games unbound to Steam.

Double DRM like ubiSoft however will not be welcome. I've got a copy of Assassins creed black flag that remains unplayed because of that mess.

The PC market needs choice, more badly than the blue Valkyre needs food. For a vast number of PC games, you have no choice but to use Steam, which is why VALVe has their abusive monopoly.

Unfortunately most gamers don't see the problem, and most will continue to use Steam. But for those of us desperate to play the games they love without renting from Gabe, then this should be good news.

Even if I knew before hand the Windows Store version of Rise of the TombRAider was slightly lesser than the Steam version, I'd still have bought it there.

Wouldn't it be better if they started making a full and complete game rather than relying on modders to make the game? Oblivion and skyrim are more less unplayable without some mods, yes skyrim is total pants without the too. As for another drm platform, well, lets hope it fails completely like all the others.

Its the same with another texture. I guess most ppl adamantly against steam are so because its just the most common "culprit" in the in the invasion of the offline-singleplayer market. The others (origin, uplay, blizzard) are equally disliked for doing the same but just on a smaller scale.

Unless Beth is doing something really unexpected like pulling a gog with their store (offering all their stuff as DRM free installers) they will at best just move players from steam to their own store at worst loose players; considering how overprotective some steamers appear to be they probably loose some very vocal candidates in the process.

Pretty much the same (well, except that I do occasionally buy games with DRM, but try to avoid it). In fact I think this may be healthy to some of the Steam fanatics, maybe then they better understand what is wrong with games requiring clients and accounts to play, even when they wouldn't really need it (e.g. single player).

If you are really so hung up to the idea that "clients are gooooood!", then this is eventually what you get, dozens of different gaming clients running on your PC all the time, just in order to play different games from different publishers. Unless, of course, you succumb to the idea that there will be only one standard gaming client for the PC. No not Steam, but Windows Store, of course. ;^P

Their decision to have their own platform is just beyond stupid.

After some time or maybe even from the start, they'll reintroduce paid mods and everything will start anew.
Some douchebags will download mods (like SkyUI) from the Nexus and offer them on the Bethesda client for a couple bucks saying they made the mod. This will anger some modders to such degree that they take down their mods.

Can't wait! :P

Original link wasn't correct sorry. Here's the link to the dashboard : https://bethesda.net/#en/dashboard
I made those intentionally. Some I make aren't intentional, so I know it gets confusing. Should try making less mistakes so people see my ironic ones better :D

EDIT:the client doesn't seem to be available yet.

yep, i see no reason whatsoever to have another platform...
What different will it offer?

DRM-FREEDOM! Don't let me laugh!
Thousands of games with good prices on sales? Judging by the last few sales on here and Steam : Let me double laugh.

On second thought, that might be the reason the percentage in these last GOG sales for Bethesda games was so low. They might have -80/85% deals only for their store.
But yeah, pass for me.

Yet with the launch of this new platform, you have comments like this:

"This is ridiculous, keep it on steam because you are just going to hurt sales and blame it on the pc market and piracy. My friends are on steam, my games are on steam and steam is the standard. Stop being greedy... At the very least, give me a choice. Why cant they just create a Bethesda, EA, Ubisoft store within steam? " (taken from the YouTube comments section).

I wonder if people can detect their hypocrisy here. So Bethesda are greedy for releasing games on their own client? I never hear these individuals argue that Valve is greedy because they limit their games to their own platform. Instead, what we here is how everyone should simply sell everything only on Steam for some reason. This is hypocrisy at its finest - creating one set of rules for a distributor of one's choice and then lambasting everything else.

With that said, I will reserve judgment on Bethesda's choice to make a client here (given their track record, however, I am not very optimistic). Makes me wonder if modders will have to be responsible for patching the client to do simple things like download games efficiently and in the correct directories ;)

Oh fuck this.

I hate managing multiple accounts.

The thing is, though, making up nonsensical words isn't irony, if anything it is just childish. Upay? Is kind of ironic, but the other two is just meaningless.

For the client? I will withold my judgement until there is actually anything there.
Protip: you don't have to have all clients running all the time, just start the one you need for the game you want to play.

Lol, this "digital delivery" future is so shitty I can't even fathom how much I hate it...
