GeoGuessr has been around for a long time now, but the popular geography guessing game is making its way to Steam for the first time.

    Hope it’s paid so I don’t need to play a Freemium game and only nice to have features are locked behind something like a DLC.

    Two thoughts. First doesn’t this depend on Google Street View? Wonder how much they have to pay for that? Also it doesn’t list single player, wonder if that is just an oversight?

    If this actually means geoguessr is available for a onetime payment, I’m all for it.

      Can’t see that happening. The Google maps fees will be way too much, even though they probably have a custom arrangement

        I remember looking ay the fees a few years ago when developing an application thing

        …it’s absurdly expensive. They demand ridiculous amounts of money for even basic things like search suggestions. I don’t get how any service using Google maps can afford doing so

    Who’s willing to bet that it’s just a slightly tweaked version of the website running in electron?
