As a neutral nation you need to have some way to ensure that neutrality as there is no NATO or other group of nations to have your back.

Hence the military spending.

Pretty sure it’s sideways France in this case. It may even say GIGN beneath the flag.

The post is about the Steam version of Space Marine 2 shipping with Epic services. This was done for cross play.

The initial comment I replied to was about “why don’t they ship Steam services with the Epic version instead.”

I’m saying that Steam services don’t exist in such a way (to my knowledge).

I have expressed no want. The user I was originally responding to appears to want cross play not through Epic.

Are you misunderstanding me on purpose?

Space Marine 2’s Epic Games client on Steam is for crossplay, confirms publisher

The comment I’m replying to:

Then make the Epic version include Steam instead of vice-versa

My comment: I don’t think that’s possible because I don’t think Steam offers their services/a mini-client in the way you’re proposing.

Yeah, but, the argument here was about including some sort of Steam client with the EGS version of the game. And I’m saying I don’t think Steam offers a “stripped-down” client like Epic, EA, Ubisoft and others do.

Games launching from Steam wasn’t the point here. It was about games launching from Epic (or any non-Steam store for that matter).

Correct. But what was proposed here was a game outside of Steam using Steam’s services, which I believe isn’t a thing.

Ryan McBeth mentioned in his video (13min) them not disclosing receiving funds from a foreign backed entity was, indeed, the legal issue.
