I wasn’t saying you can’t play them, just that you don’t own them. This is still true with DRM free games. GOG’s agreement is different to Steam’s in that you own your purchase
You don’t think you own every house with an unlocked front door, do you?
You’re correct, and this goes for ALL steam games
My issue with games journalism isn’t even with games journalism. Games just suck now. Specifically the big budget ones that don’t need any more press than they already pay for. There used to be a time when videogames were on track to be the next art form. I’m not saying they can’t be, or even that they aren’t already, it’s just that the artistically barren and often morally bankrupt juggernaut games are sucking up all the funding and the exposure. Games journalism has been reduced to “take a look at this game that isn’t complete trough slop” and the audience of gamers isn’t particularly receptive to that message. I wish there was more room for analysis and/or discussion, but it’s getting less sustainable every day.
I can’t remember the last time there was a well funded and appropriately successful game that had artistic intent any sort of intentionality (before BG3)
Influencers make money from the platform and in most peoples’ capitalism-riddled brain, “the government is ripping up your paycheck” is more alarming than “the government is silencing its people”.
I’m disagreeing. It’s really that simple. $60 million fewer dollars from $1 billion in revenue over 8 years (using your numbers here, please correct me if you think it’ll make your case stronger) is still about $1 billion. Any way you cut it, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s just a few cents
The American “left” is on the far-right of almost every other country in the world. Not right, not even center. You need recalibrating
Okay, but, they’re already selling a product with a BOM of $20 at most for 70-90 monetary units. They can absolutely afford a few cents less of profit
it’s okay to tell billionaires to kill themselves
You can’t bomb a place or rape its people into stability. We have 200 years of hard evidence for that (not that it was needed). Literally any other approach would be beneficial for everyone except the war profiteers
How did his newly found faith in God not spare him of this???
Yuzu would like to have a word
The nintendo switch, released 8 years ago now, was the first console to never have a price drop. PS5 and XBOX series did not need to be convinced to join that particular trend
The amount of not KDE answers here surprises me. Y’all a bunch of nerds [endearing]
I’M OKAY WITH MAKING A WINDOWS ACCOUNT.
I’M JUST NOT OKAY WITH MY ~/ PATH BEING C:/Users/Jacobuedhbcuycbdhh55674c4bhdncy6448774/
THIS CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY CREATING A LOCAL USER AND THEN SIGNING IN
Morons say that every time, until declassification occurs decades later. At some point you need to start seeing the signs
Not only is killing armed American/Israeli invaders not a war crime, it’s considered heroic by anyone with a brain. I know, shocking
Historically, whenever civil war suddenly breaks out in any country (not just in the middle east), it’s the CIA 9 times out of 10
Framing actual genocide as “guys you don’t like” is so funny to me.
It’s the opposite. People learning English as a second language are typically much better spellers. Only a native speaker would misspell extreme that way
