Is this the PC equivalent of Messenger, designed to give Facebook total access to your system?

#12Windows only? Also no way to see what games exist without downloading?
Re: Gameroom
#13I'm really getting tired of Facebook et. al trying to insert themselves into every facet of my existence. I'll keep using Steam and Gog. Steam is pretty bleh, but it does the job and I don't have to put up with Facebook.
Personally I think Steam is one of the best game platform (for a lack of a better word). It is fast, easy to use, nice sales/cheap in general, downloads are quick. While on the other side Playstation store is the exact oposite of what I just wrote.
> It is fast
my main complaint is that I find it pretty clunky and slow.
edit: The UI, not downloads. Browsing the store is usually not that pleasant, switching tabs, etc... Downloads usually cap out around 40MB/sec on my connection. Which is fine.

#14My problem is that I opened the website, read the description, and I still don't know what this does. Is it a launcher for my PC games? Why the hell would I want another one?

I use both, point noted but objectively... so what if Sony's store is abysmal? Most gamers go for AAA titles that they hear about elsewhere, who cares if the store is hard to search? They 'pre download' the game so who cares about the speed?
Finally, the vast majority of time in the gaming experience is not spent in the store. It's all about the content and the exclusives. Sony has invested heavily here.

I guess the parent comment means that messenger takes a lot of permissions on mobile.
The android version? I've only used the Windows 10 and iOS versions, so I am not aware of what permissions it asks for.

#18This feels and loads games like my moms Pogo games. Not a good start.

For Android (and for Windows Phone) it requires permissions to pretty much everything. It's pretty evil in that regard.

Really? I'm comparing with others I've tested here and it seems by far to be the best available at the moment. Downloads always seem to work, you can restart them and it actually continues straight on instead of some others that start at the previous block of information (sometimes half a gigabyte before). You have skins that make the client look actually rather nice [0] and you have a game library like no other. It combines the size of library that contains every game you want, with the limit of only having decent games.
Desura, UPlay, etc. seem to have little to no comparability in options, versatility and ease of use.
