Can they tell the differences between installs or can’t they? Either way, they’re definitely lying to their users.

Do installs of the same game by the same user across multiple devices count as different installs?

We treat different devices as different installs. We don’t want to track identity across different devices.

Jesus Christ. A single user can freely install the game repeatedly and bankrupt a creator.

I can definitely see one of those “ree woke game” types doing this.

Excellent

Fitting image host, too.

I can see this going wrong with steam proton if each install gets it’s own wine config, simply reinstalling or updating might look like a new machine
