MODERATORS
If NexusMods is anything to go by, SteamDB will soon require an account to use, with strict limits unless you pay for premium access.
And then proceed to leak your username, e-mail and password.
Plus they're going to allow developers to hide whenever they make changes so we can track minor changes anymore
Fuck they're going to break/API Paywall IsThereAnyDeal aren't they
Seems reasonable. Most people make a few requests, and heavy users can pay for the operational costs.
Edit: that's a lot of downvotes. People would prefer for it to just go offline entirely?
Yes. I personally would rather see a project shutdown rather than see the zombie, enshitified version live forever.
