I think it ultimately comes down to having to support another platform ads more work and risk then its worth.

For example theyd have to convince people to essentially break androids walled garden which means valve has to make sure everything they offer for android isnt malicous. Then there is the fact that phones are different specs, more testing, potential customer support … Its a whole can of worms, but valve would gain little. There arent many people who want steam on their phones but dont already have it on pc.

Vavle is good at what they do, they have basically cornered the PC and portable PC markets already, i think not mucking around in an already monopolistic mobile market is a pretty wise business decision on their part overall.


Given the choice between gaming on your phone or a steamdeck, why would anyone choose the phone?

So i guess thats one reason why.


And hows that working out for epic?

Valves strategy of not doing anything new in the last decade while every other publisber shoots themselves in the foot seems to be working pretty well for them.


And give google 30‰ of what every android user purchases? Nutz!




Well it’s hosted in The Netherlands and I did take some steps to protect my own identity in regards to registration info, but if the studios did take an interest i’d probably have some fun with it by decaliring bankrupcy and dragging out the appeals.


If my server is already open to everyone, what kind of potential attacks do i need to be worried a about? I dont keep personal files on my streaming server, its just videos, music and isos/roms. I dont restrict sign ups, so the idea of an unauthorized user doing something like download a video is a non issue for me really.

I do see where there could be problems for folks running jfin on the same server they keep private photos or for people who charge users for acess, but thats not me.

Am i missing something or is the main result of most of these that a “malicious” actor could dowload files jellyfin has access to without authentication?


I was a volunteer working at the first LinuxCon in 2009, I worked in the expo hall and at the end of the first day one of the booths had a raffle to win an android G1 developer phone and I ended up winning.

The best part was, by winning the phone instead of having to buy it through t–mobile I was able to keep my service without having to pay for adding data and it was a couple years before I had to actually start paying for data.
