Somebody should build a Steam store/launcher with a Nostr database. Stop giving control over your games to valve.

Interesting idea. Thinking aloud though. Most games nowadays have DRM. I can't even play some old games without Internet. So most of the games in this would have to cracked or Open Source?

No. The idea is to become so big that game makers must publish in Nostr to be seen, similar to how Sony has to publish on Steam even though they have their own launchers.

i like it. very ambitious.

Merci

Avez vous vu mon message. J'ai nostr wine qui bloque toute note et affiché une facture comme supprimer nostr wine ? dites que me conseillez vous de plus facile avec Getalby pour pouvoir zapper je reçois mais je peux pas envoyer un Zap ? Merci de votre aide si possible

There is already like three web3 platforms doing exactly that.

Web3 sucks. :)

funny cause imo nostr is exactly what web3 should have been already 10 years ago.

nostr is exactly what web should have been already 35 years ago.

We can start small by offer alternative solution for itch.io, where most indie devs publish their games

it's not small. in fact it's the biggest game store.

Have you seen the hackathon project nostr:npub1arkn0xxxll4llgy9qxkrncn3vc4l69s0dz8ef3zadykcwe7ax3dqrrh43w and I made? It supports 1 game engine now, but the vision is to do what you're describing.

Crashglow.com

then add Steam Workshop, nip-72 communities for games with notes and other stuff, private dms, public chats, contact list, user profiles, nip-38 status based on gaming activity, add nip-58 badges, vrm avatar catalog, webrtc audio calls, crowdfunding nip-75, wishlist nip-51, zap.stream streams and flare.pub videos in game page, reviews, reports, long form notes for game updates/etc., custom emojis, playing in the cloud.

and for selling software

how to protect users against malware in such censorship-resistant store? It should be used only for wasm/webgpu and cloud gaming.

The enthusiasm for the Valve DRM sideshow always puzzled me. It ruined the HL2 launch, and kept adding nothing of value since then.

nostr should run on the decentral DNS such as https://handshake.org/
