- Comment on Rockstar finally break silence on "heartbreaking" GTA 6 leak, say it's "unfortunate that the intended game experience may now be impacted by some spoilers" 2 weeks ago:
And less people talking about their union busting.
- Comment on Amanda Watson, the engineer who pioneered the AirLink and several other technologies for Oculus, was hired at Valve. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not overpriced if that’s what components and comparable hardware costs now and in the future, it’s just the new normal.

It might be outdated, but it won’t be overpriced. Meta made it clear their next headset will not be subsidised. And Pico are saying their next headset will be a Apple Vision Pro competitor.
- Comment on I love my Steam Machine but there's lots of work Valve need to do 1 month ago:
You ever heard of the red ring of death? And that was a hardware issue, not a software issue that can be patched.
- Comment on Steam is adding support to show estimated FPS for your hardware before buying a game 5 months ago:
Ultimately the EGS has shown 12% is not profitable, a lower cut would be nice for smaller devs but I don’t see why Valve would when every other platform of Steam’s size also takes 30%.
- Comment on "They've ghosted me": Saints Row design director says he believes the series is "dead" after pitching prequel 6 months ago:
It’s interesting how people ascribe a game or series’ failure to whenever they became disinterested in it. Saints Row 3 and 4 were the best selling games on the franchise.
- Comment on Widelands, the open source Settlers-like devs plan to ban all AI generated contributions 6 months ago:
Realistically, it’s because they don’t like wasting their limited (usually unpaid) time reviewing untested AI PRs which may or may not do something useful for the project, publicity is irrelevant.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
The problem with a price war is Valve is “just” a multi-billion dollar company, very impressive for their size but a $100bn company like Sony and especially a $3 trillion company like Microsoft could squeeze them out of the market.
And they would have to subsidise the cost by far more than Sony/Microsoft do due to the smaller scale of production and more expensive newer contracts.
- Comment on Why $700 could be a "death sentence" for the Steam Machine 7 months ago:
As long as it’s comparable price or cheaper than a pre-built of similar specs or building a similar build yourself, they’ll be a market for it. There’s always people looking to get into PC gaming and existing PC gamers who want their Steam library in a console form factor.
- Comment on AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release 7 months ago:
Problem is there’s been reports about memory providers cancelling contracts, as the premium AI companies will pay is far higher than breaking the current contracts.
