Comment from : @flashmasterp2685

Not to self-report but most of the cracked games I used to play did not require steam
Comment from : @Sunbro413

Comment from : @LilFreakBoy-o2k

Comment from : @V2GAMINGBRUH

I don't get it
Comment from : @testtor2714

is this why when i make a list it shows me 59 games out of 60? (there is no #60)
Comment from : @RakfordYT

Spacewar is also used for testing games with Steam integration before you get a store pagebrbrThanks to this short, now all of my friends think I'm pirating games whenever I work on my game
Comment from : @TheArbinator

That's not entirely correct, it's used for a lot of things of legitimate purposes Any time in working on a multiplayer project with steam as the service, playing said game shows as playing spacewar
Comment from : @KingRevoker

No, Spacewar is often used for game development to try out steam networking before releasing
Comment from : @JTG2003

Odd that a game developer wouldnt mention that its also used for testing multiplayer integration with steam when developing a game?
Comment from : @tinyblue42

Spacewar is an example game for testing purposes
Comment from : @tutacat

Ever hear of Tradewars from bbs

Dont snitch me

Copyright strike abuser
Comment from : @josephcandela2317

Im in there :]
Comment from : @milokiss8276

space war fun fact is supposed to be used as a test app for when developers are testing things its also used on games that use steam features but are not on steam
Comment from : @TheDerric

and? steam cant do shit about that
Comment from : @FasMode

I love when Thor makes a blanket statement that is only partially true Modders use Spacewar as well, not all those people are pirating, but a lot are
Comment from : @bigbadsauce92

Please don't use steam They are still working in Russia
Comment from : @Smartfon312

steam decided not too launch my stardew valley until i updated it, i was on a long 7 hour flight with no internet so instead i went in the game files and launched it from there it launched as spacewar
Comment from : @quickcooker5

That doesn’t mean all those people are pirating games This doesn’t make sense
Comment from : @the_terrorizer

No boxes were drawn, I'm illiterate and refuse to understand otherwise
Comment from : @method1333

I have 3500 hours in spacewar
Comment from : @chadthunderlord5830

Spacewar or Toxikk lmao
Comment from : @GamerBoyTheManly

funny thing is that Steam is well aware of that and does nothing about it W Steam
Comment from : @randomgluposti

look for microsoft flight simulator :P And ask those ppl if they actualy ever seen that flight simulator :D
Comment from : @1qopl

The thing that's REALLY funny about this short is the comments all just explaining how Thor is wrong lol
Comment from : @aBadWizard

I used it for rust
Comment from : @KritaYTK

I played Spacewar, unironically
Comment from : @yuridavid0

It is used also for devs test steam devtools stuff
Comment from : @yuridavid0

How can I stop a game updating ? Effectively playing that game offline ALL the time ?
Comment from : @TrueBlade-1889

Steam and Gaben don't give a shit if you pirate games, you just aren't allowed to openly talk about it on Steam Forums
Comment from : @The__Mask

I really wish I could talk to thor personally about piracy, I feel like that'd be one hell of a debate
Comment from : @FlavoredLewb

🤦🏻‍♂️
Comment from : @sr2Xvet

This all only applies to playing multiplayer games online If it's singleplayer it's just as easy to use a lightweight steam emulator with achievements
Comment from : @suckmylol

I'm guilty
Comment from : @DOTdotDot97

A second amendment lol
Comment from : @dax-dragon8142

Space war For one, not a game; not this version anyway as the game is not accessible by steam, it’s a dev tool to cross platform games And two it’s how everyone who plays pirated old cod games plays them online
Comment from : @KimboSayne

It's also used for developing games with the steamworks sdk
Comment from : @count_0_1

i love piracybr!
Comment from : @DinglebingleClothings

funnily enough, thats not entirely true, not everyone playing it is piratingbrbra program called "remote play whatever" i've been using actually uses spacewar as sort of an exploit to let you play any game with remote play together played undertale together with a friend that way
Comment from : @LF21Hungry

its a game meant for default steam testing when making a game for steam, not to pirate games
Comment from : @milkbagboii

Well, let's say I'm a spacewar enjoyer🗿 (tho I still buy the games I pirate after I get enough money and if they good)
Comment from : @GP22855

Wait but i didn’t pirate it yet i still have it
Comment from : @BeebosAdventure

Me and my buddies have been playing space war for the last few weeks
Comment from : @CooK19XX

Steam Friend asking "What is this spacewar game that you are playing, is it any good?" ME: 💀
Comment from : @oo131193oo

"How are there so many people playing but I can't get a SINGLE match?"
Comment from : @QsPracticalNonsense

Ehmm oops?
Comment from : @wertyupanoptikus9787

6 plus years of playing space war
Comment from : @Dajuann

I'm sorrywhat?!
Comment from : @realdapperdice

made by telltale games because at this point is anyone surprised
Comment from : @falsifiedbrib1268

Aaaaaaannnnnnnndd 0001 of those players are legit devs working on their steam games
Comment from : @silvereennetwork

Is spacewar playable?
Comment from : @GoatedKdot1

Online-fixnet type shi
Comment from : @skemmy215

hey i couldn't understand this without ms paint can you please remake it with ms paint
Comment from : @steamaccount147

ha, that’s actually hilarious, i was wondering why my buddy just started playing that game… wait 😂
Comment from : @TheMidwestRetro

im cooked
Comment from : @qt-pie4955

I hope Steam doesn't hire him I wouldn't say that I would be in trouble but
Comment from : @horstdenton1344

Spacewar is the TF2 Coconutjpeg of pirating
Comment from : @LittleBirbBoi

I love when steam snitches on me and says I’m pirating to all my friends
Comment from : @fishy_fish1003

30k players That's litteraly nothing Now I know not every pirated game will be tracked with spacewars, but that number is much much lower that what I was expecting
Comment from : @mazzwapa4135

Is this also used to integrate non Steam games like via heroic launcher on steam OS?
Comment from : @thoreberlin

What isnt mentioned is that devs use it as well Oh that and Steam does not give a shit about pirating because its not their problem, and because with the deals they give the vast majority of pirates buy the game over time
Comment from : @Primal2229

and or developing a game
Comment from : @UpsideYonder

Oh so that's why it showed up on my profile in games recently played, thing is though that I didn't pirate any game at all lately
Comment from : @Oda_1582

Big game companies deserve to have their games pirated the more they continue to overpromise and underdeliver
Comment from : @thecarrierpigeon6657

How do you play it?
Comment from : @bowsercaddy

I unironically played it, but the only dude online was Russian in a locked server
Comment from : @Clipdump8484

I hate the Gabe Newell quote about piracy not being about price because it's outdated There's a lot of people who aren't going to shell out 70 dollars to play a game from companies that will likely be disappointing and underwhelming these days I know plenty of people who pirate games to play them instead of giving companies like Bioware or Ubisoft their money now
Comment from : @nautilusguts

Imagine that one person in the world that is actualy playing spacewar, not knowing the near universal use of the game
Comment from : @a_creatorsstuff17

how to find this game can't seem to find it in my library
Comment from : @leeuwengames315

I could swear i have this on cassette for the TRS-80
Comment from : @shugotenchi

Haha, had to use this method for the original dark souls recently
Comment from : @Jaksa-ce6mf

Oh no not piracy, what ever will we do
Comment from : @gaseoussnake6919

It's also used for modding and development, not everyone who uses it pirates For example, I've played "Spacewar" to play the mod Dark Souls Remastest It uses that to launch the game and DSCM for multiplayer functionality
Comment from : @Appledirt

SPACEWAR is my first game i played on an 8088 monochrome i was wasd and my brother was arrow keys torpedos away!!!
Comment from : @borgheses

78k all-time-peak and avg 32k is very low (since it's literally every pirated game on Steam) Well done Gaben, quality service does indeed help with piracy They can't gaslight you with hundreds of millions in losses anymore xDbrHowever, also as someone pointed out, this is used for more things than just piracy - bypassing restrictions on RemotePlayTogether for example (why this is not an option for every game by default is mindblowing to me, thankfully we don't need to rely on publishers not being retarded control freaks)
Comment from : @Micromation

"All these people are pirating games"brbrMe and actual spacewar enjoyer :-(
Comment from : @janegoodall1837

I've played a lot of demos on Steam that use App ID 480
Comment from : @Hardolaf

Can't find it in my library
Comment from : @Killgore316

A few side project games I play use spacewar as a means for steam multiplayer instead of having to develop their own system
Comment from : @JDubsCCGsOnline

It’s very funny that the game that acts as a whistleblower for pirates is supposedly a TellTale game
Comment from : @KaibaKid_

Funny steam couldn't track years ago on my first steam account I ever made, I pirated cod waw zombies cause I was broke teenager, I bought it years later when I had a job but I'm glad that account never got picked up
Comment from : @yugarovr9755

I play spacewar when I mess with game files to use steam remote play co-op on games I'm not allowed to
Comment from : @dan_the_swag_man6937

Its also used by game devs for testing 😄at least when testing a game i made years ago and testing it, it was registered as „playing space war“ in steam and my friends asked me what this is lol
Comment from : @ertikol

Too complex, now they just hook it with modified steamlib or something So you dont even need internet connection to play
