- Comment on Wuthering Waves now Steam Deck Playable, and works on Desktop Linux with one tweak 1 week ago:
I don’t understand the business model. It’s single player but gacha?
- Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’ 1 week ago:
Well technically, it was both, at least from their perspective. And as soon as they were contacted, the situation was resolved.
I’m not saying I wouldn’t be pissed if this happened to me, and I’m not saying I like the whole “we block your internet access” thing. But what I’m saying is that this is normal practice for decades (!!!) now for all console manufacturers, and that the only reason why this is a “news article” now is because “Nintendo = bad” clicks so damn well.
- Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’ 1 week ago:
They haven’t bricked it, they disabled the online function. Something that all console manufacturers do in such cases for years, including Nintendo for the Switch 1.
The only news in this article is that Nintendo has awesome support. Everything else is just rage bait and half the internet is biting.
- Comment on Nintendo bans Switch 2 owner after they played used Switch 1 games — decision eventually reversed after 'proving innocence’ 1 week ago:
And here we are again, having our pitchforks ready.
Maybe read the article for once. Nothing new about what happened there. We saw the same happening with the Switch 1 for years and nobody cared, but now it’s a thing because we’re all on the “screw greedy Nintendo” hype train.
Nintendo has a unique way to track pirates games via their cartridges’ UIDs. That’s nothing we should really be surprised about, given how long this system is around.
Maybe, just maybe, blame the seller of that copied game. In the end, Nintendo quickly reacted - again, read the bloody article.
- Comment on Get the Borderlands series in the new Gear Up For Borderlands 4 Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on NonSteamLaunchers adds real-time Steam shortcuts and teases upcoming Steam integration 2 weeks ago:
Curious to see what “integration” will actually mean.
- Comment on Nexus Mods to get Age Verification in UK / EU for adult content, plus a new cross-platform app upgrade 3 weeks ago:
They have to add age verification. The old owner just didn’t want to make the investment/ effort. This has nothing to do with enshitification.
- Comment on Threads now has DMs 3 weeks ago:
Fuck Meta and everything they do.
- Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape' 3 weeks ago:
Funny how the comments in this thread went from “haha he’s degoogling on YouTube?” to “do you believe in rehabilitation?” - “HE’S A NAZI!!!”.
It truly feels like back in the good old Reddit days. You either get popcorn or your pitchfork. There’s nothing in-between.
- Comment on Desktop Linux distros similar to Steam OS? 4 weeks ago:
Bazzite, I guess.
- Comment on Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen? 4 weeks ago:
My crystal ball says buy one now.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 5 weeks ago:
It’s a multiplayer freemium game. Even if they let you keep your “copy” of it, servers will be down and the game will not be playable anyways. At least they offer a refund.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 5 weeks ago:
TL;DR: People used MIG, Nintendo bans console. Who’d have guessed.
- Comment on Rumor: Kepler Tells Gamers To "Get Ready For The First <$1000 Console" 5 weeks ago:
It’s likely the same for the Steam Deck. Valve might produce them at a loss, because sales on Steam outweigh the initial low / negative margin.
Now think about it. You have heavily subsidized hardware because you control the market on which games can be purchased.
Now take that control away. What happens most likely?
- Comment on Rumor: Kepler Tells Gamers To "Get Ready For The First <$1000 Console" 5 weeks ago:
Current consoles (playstation, Xbox etc) are heavily subsidized on the hardware side.
- Comment on Nexus Mods is under new ownership 5 weeks ago:
Unbelievable how that article doesn’t even mention who effing owns the thing now. Jeez.

- Comment on FANTASY LIFE i: The Girl Who Steals Time is out today and Steam Deck Verified 2 months ago:
Why does a game like this have Easy AntiCheat? Looks really cool, but that’s a bit of a red flag for me.
- Comment on Grab some top Bethesda games in the latest Fanatical Bundle 2 months ago:
- Comment on EA rebrand and refresh their anti-cheat into EA Javelin Anticheat, still blocks Linux / Steam Deck 2 months ago:
EA can fuck aaaaallllllllllll the way off.
