- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 Download Size Revealed To Be 210 GB 4 days ago:
And you think they give a rat’s ass about your Playstation-storage? :-) People will buy it, even if it needs a playstation for itself. Or came with a playstation bundled. Which only allowed GTA6 on it but costs triple. It would still sell like crazy. At least you now know why they CAN’T put it onto a disc, even if they wanted to :)
So. Will you buy it? if yes, then what are you even talking about? If no, then welcome to the boat, where is the actual problem? When I will maybe buy this in 3-7yrs, i would not care for the 0,2tb it wants anymore. I would not care today, but that’s not really the point.

Everything is closing in at 2x of 1.5yrs ago, so what? Do you use LLMs? Then you’re part of the reason, why are you complaining? Don’t? Then sorry bro…

Compared to the 3000,- a 20MB drive cost said decades ago, storage is cheap 😁 But you say that as if the big studios care about such things. People will pay full price (or probably higher) anyway. Even if it’d be 1TB download.

A “news” telling people the download-size of some game…wow. And it’s slightly bigger than other AAA. Astonishing.
Download-siizes rose for the last 3 decades, who would have ever expected that…

Ah the simpler ancient times of yesteryear. We didn’t just accept such crap. Now companies fear no resistence anymore (and there isn’t any).
- Comment on Bosses Concerned That GTA 6 Release Will Cause Massive Drop in Productivity 1 month ago:
In my company this was normal. New great game got released? People took a week off or two, or worked more from home or moved to part-time. And it was all fine. That’s what most capitalist numbnuts just don’t get: a happy employee is a productive employee.
Mine had profit-shares (from janitor upwards), come-and-go-as-you-please, free food and drinks and whatnot. No stupid forced meetings or dumb “bonding-trips” or anything. And guess what? Noone ever exploited the system. Every agree-upon work was always delivererd. Often before estimated deadline. And also I didn’t earn 35838291x the average employee-salary. Just a tiny bit more, which is fair considering it was my risk all alone.
Point is…people who do these headlines, or even think like this, have totally lost reality and were never really human but just a worker-bee with more money. I usually pity them. No amount of money will ever fill their inner void.

Ha! Been there, doing that…I mostly end up playing the same oldies again and again. I remember map layouts from 2 decades ago, but forget he story from yesterday. Actually kinda helpful when re-playing 😁
- Comment on I analyzed my first 30 years of gaming and the 400 games I played 2 months ago:
Probably yes. But maybe not those with ADHD 😁 I game like 6hrs a day for >30yrs now, but the times of “one game a month, if even” are long gone for me. I got tens of thousands of games, of which I haven’t played 70% yet.
Admittedly, many I just bought on a whim and will probably never ever touch at all. Some for support, some for curiosity, some for discount.

400 games in 3 decades? I’d call that a lazy quarter 😁

I just bought on release-day. But didn’t play it until a year later. I learnt from my mistakes, and behold, it was the right choice. They released way too early 😁
I had zero problems, tons of mods, massive hours of fun.

That is rare, yes :) I actually checked, and it’s not many… Assassin’s Creed Origin&Odyssey and Subnautica&SZ were the only US-based AAA that were worth it for full-price (or more) in the last 5 years or so.
- Comment on 'Peak Rockstar Arrogance' — GTA 6 Fans Aren't Thrilled With Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game 2 months ago:
Cyberpunk+DLC. Well worth it. (Not at launch, but never play on release-day). Other than that I would have to check my library for hours-played to answer that… Which is sad.
- Comment on 'Peak Rockstar Arrogance' — GTA 6 Fans Aren't Thrilled With Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game 2 months ago:
It’s a rotting carcass for roughly a decade now, sadly. At least with US-based AAA. I would have to think for a while to come up with a title that well deserved full price. It was either indie, AA or some Chinese or polish AAA.

How can one be a “GTA 6 fan” when the game isn’t even released. I’m a fan of 1-5, but…

Oh right. I forgot about that simple solution.
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition - Creations Update Patch Notes 2 years ago:
You can’t. Unless you go offline (for as long as you play it)
Best thing to do is download it elsewhere (he said eye-patchedly). You already have the license, screw them.
- Comment on Steam Workshop Has added support for paid mods 2 years ago:
Yeah great /s
I prefer donations to the modders. Not paying 30% of it to steam for doing… Nothing much. And also being forced to pay for a mod.
Modding made so many mediocre games fantastic. The community is always a blast. People doing it for the “fame” or just for fun, and also getting occasional donations as a heartfelt “thank you” as a cherry on top.
I can’t imagine paid mods to do anything good for the scene. When does money ever…
