  Downside is, that devs actually need to promote their stuff instead of completely relying on just being discovered on the platform

  If it’s easier to get on the platform, but it requires that you spend the same amount on marketing as development, is it actually easier to get on the platform? Sounds like the worst of both worlds for everyone except Valve.

  That’s not a good thing. The Steam store sucks these days, there’s far too much complete shit

  Nah, that’s a dumb take. Denuvo does protect from casual piracy, that’s why companies use it, if only temporarily.

  It also negatively affects legit consumers, and that is the problem - these publishers have decided that potential profit matters more than actual, realized customers.

  I haven’t bought a Denuvo-protected game in about a decade, and that isn’t going to change.

  He’s a liberal capitalist stooge. All of his decent-to-good policies are social, and virtually every financial or corporate decision is dogshit.

  Did they not already have this? There are literally hundreds of these, are they really all third-party? JFC, Nintendo…

  Isn’t that… like… almost the entirety of the purpose of the genre?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Messaging Service ICQ To Shut Down Next Month After Nearly 30 Years⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Serious question: did anyone here actually know it was still around? I’m one of the more tech-savvy people I know and haven’t touched ICQ in well over a decade at this point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve has little to worry about as new Steam Deck rival arrives⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly just shows how dialed in the steam deck is

  I don’t understand how so many competitors are just making rhe most obvious, braindead mistakes. Who the fuck thought using Windows was a good idea?!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam will stop issuing refunds if you play two hours of a game before launch day⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehhh, I’m actually (surprisingly) gonna disagree here. Obviously there are special cases, where the game worked in EA and had some game-breaking crash on release, but those are the exception and not the norm.

  If you played a game in EA, you know more-or-less what you were getting on release. You know the developer’s communication style and their release cadence, and you’ve literally played the game. I would like to see this time limit extended back to maybe 30m/1hr, but I don’t see a problem with reducing it if you’ve already experienced parts of the game.

  Fallout is hyper realistic

  Ah, yes, stim-pacs have saved my life numerous times, and I also experience time dilation at my own whim!

  Is there any way to stream TDS? There’s no way in hell I’m getting cable for 1 show

  Well then it makes sense that it wasn’t supported
