Does the Mac version of Steam install through the Mac App store (or is it offered there), and does that store also have the webview restrictions? If that's the case, I'm wondering if that's triggering them to use web login methods, and while I haven't logged into steam on the desktop again since I installed it on this new one ~6 months ago, I have to log into the website and get a code almost every time I want to do something there, so I wonder if the Mac version of Steam is somehow under the web based login restrictions.
- Wowfunhappy 6y ago> Does the Mac version of Steam install through the Mac App store It does not, and I can't see it ever being allowed there. It's quite literally an alternate app store!
- kbenson 6y agoLOL, that's true. I wasn't even thinking of what Steam does, and was just considering it's authentication mechanism. Doubly silly of me, since I'm definitely interested and following to some degree the Epic lawsuit.
- dfabulich 6y agoThe website definitely has a crazy short session length (it can't be more than 48 hours, probably substantially less). I do login to the website more often than I do the native Steam app, typically to wishlist games that I see linked from other web sites. I wonder if logging into the website invalidates all of my sessions after however many hours.
