  Mine too. I tried 11 and went back to 10. Honestly, only thing keeping me on Windows currently is my plex*arr servers. Guess I have a year to figure out docker.

  I have ads blocked everywhere, so I don’t know if BG3 had traditional advertising. I do know they focused a lot on the voice actors with YouTube stuff like them playing table top D&D.

  The article doesn’t really say pricing will go up. Just that the current AAA $70 isn’t sustainable. Even says he doesn’t want to sell their next game at $70, but is afraid of it being perceived as a lower quality game if cheaper. I think hellblade 2 will be a good test if a cheaper game price is seen as a negative. Personally, I loved 1, with their AA idea. Which is just AAA quality, in a shorter length. After the first hellblade, I was really hoping we’d see more high quality games releasing at different price ranges. Seems only indies, really move away from $70 though. I just beat immortals of avalon on ps+, and I think that would have been a perfect example of a game that should have released at $40. It wasn’t worth $70, but was a pretty fun experience for the right price.

  I have a rift s and was already fed up with Facebook so wasn’t buying a quest anyway. This just confirms that Facebook sucks and will not be the headset I get next. Hopefully the psvr2 pc support is actually coming and works well.

  I’m relatively new to glasses. I tried a pair from Zenni (maybe that was my problem) but I couldn’t use them. Had to tilt my head down to look out the top of the lens to see distance. Now I just have distance glasses and have to take them off if reading, phone etc.

  Cool tech, but $850. Makes me wonder though how long before vr tech makes it to prescription glasses. A pair of glasses that can eye track where you’re looking, determine the distance of your focus and adjust the prescription to be able to see clearly at all times would be awesome.

  Same, but I bought a rift s before all this crap. Pretty much only use it for beat saber though. Finally migrated because I don’t want to lose that. At least I don’t have to have Facebook like the initial plan.

  We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.

  Except that’s not the case. *arrs and plex(probably jellyfin as well, haven’t tried it) is a vastly superior user experience than most of the streaming apps. So the good experience is free and the bad experience costs money.

  Maybe spend that money on fixing your app instead.
