Who wants to help me make foss decentralized steam (no games except tux racer)

@sun If what you are providing is the rich presence/friends/networking etc I've long thought it would be doable with p2p things like the dht. Very doable I think. Marketplace is harder to decentralize unless you're talking about like, p2p based file distribution and payments facilitated by e.g. crypto rather than cc's

@sun I guess the question is, what part of the problem are you trying to solve? The whole thing? a drop in replacement?

@pwm tbh I want a platform that allows crypto games but enforces quality controls

@sun You're going to probably wind up just like steam, make a marketplace, make some games for yourself (high quality) and police it. You're probably not going to "decentralize" QC.

@pwm tbh I have a lot of goals and many of them are in conflict with one another. Add to this no body wants a crypto platform except grifters and naive idiots

@sun I think you'll need to pilot it with high-quality first-party games to showcase what's possible, teebeeaych. Whether that's slots, or genshin impact or fifa but spectators can bet on it eg. etc if you just build infra, it's not going anywhere. If you build a product that uses the infra you made then it's still a gamble but not a certainty that it will be disregarded, like building a railroad without trains.
