You may not like it but that’s how peak productivity looks like.

Hoping that the only shit thing of the game is the AI powered NPCs.

Tried it today and the entire experience feels like a mobile gacha game, even the UX is crap like a mobile game.

A New Hope

That’s my point people doesn’t care with things that doesn’t affect them directly, the Steam margin hurts a lot less the end user for them to care.

Yeah they are, but the whole argument is: Why people are praising Steam but bashing studios. I’m telling the why: For the vast majority of people what matters is the product that they consume, Steam release good stuff, the big studios are struggling to release anything good. Changing anything about how Steam operates barely impact anything about the studios and slops continues to be released. -30% with Steam and the stakeholders of the studios get 30% more money, the devs continues to be underpaid and overworked like always and the head of studio is still chasing a trend. That’s why nobody cares about Steam.

In Bioware case, the devs have had problems with the studio since DAO, most people didn’t care until Anthem, the first big failure, and they released two more bad games. If at least Veilguard was good, people will not say anything about how the devs suffered to release the game, because they received a good product.

The only reason games are so expensive is because of all the leeches above the devs, the devs could make the same amount of money they currently make while reducing a ton of overhead going to multi-millionaires and billionaires, otherwise more money could go to the devs and less to the leeches, no matter the alternative, it would be better for the consumers.

Sadly that’s only works with indie studios. Cutting 30% of steam for a Ubisoft/EA game only moves the money to Ubisoft/EA.

but it’s stupid, it’s not their decision to do things like that.

I know, but people associate them with the game.

How Steam getting a bigger cut is impacting their products negatively? Do you really believe by decreasing the margin the game will be cheaper? Even when the same game has the same price in PS5/Xbox/Switch and PC. That’s my point people doesn’t care with things that doesn’t affect them directly, the Steam margin hurts a lot less the end user for them to care.

In the case of the Veilguard, the devs responsible for the game divulgation lied or omitted the truth about the game, like in the case of Veilguard not importing the choices of previous games was leaked and doesn’t seem like they planned to tell the audience before the release, so I can see why some people hold a certain grudge with the Veilguard devs, but it’s stupid, it’s not their decision to do things like that.

I am rooting for the demise of Bioware/EA, they have been doing bad practices for a long long time, fuck all their execs. But with their demise will happen layoffs, the only thing to do is to support the devs with their new studio, like with the games: Stray Gods or Exodus

Also, people are praising Steam, who has under 100 employees, takes 30% of the price, and doesn’t let you own you games, but bashing studios (purely greedy capitalist business too, we agree) with thousands of employees who in the end are mostly passionate devs…

One is releasing a good product and the other don’t? Most people care for their money spend.

TIL Animal Crossing has a fucking NES emulador inside the game that can run any ROM. Why?

Basically GTA VI is Rockstar trying to monetize FiveM and so on? How they expect to work until the game is released on PC?

The new KDE 6.3.0 info center have this as a feature or I understand it wrong? Couldn’t test it yet.

Feels bad for the developers, but fingers crossed that the new AC is a disaster and Ubisoft is over.

Bluetooth - Another nightmare. Bluetooth is terrible on Linux.

Shitty dongles is shittier in Linux, that’s true. Never ever had a problem with Bluetooth on laptops.

None of my controllers work with Steam, no matter how many countless hours I’ve spent troubleshooting.

They work with games outside of Steam? If true is a Steam problem, not a Linux one. “But it works with Steam on Windows”, well Valve can fuck up and introduce a bug on the Linux version.

It was the Empire high command workers who said that as a justification for their actions, the guys recruited by the republic in Operation Paperclip style.

Michael Douse from Larian Studios: It’s always people lower down the food chain that suffer, when it’s clearly strategy higher up the food chain that’s causing the problem. On a pirate ship, they’d toss the captain overboard. Video games companies should be run like pirate ships.

Die EA

I bought a pre-purchase once, and it was for Bloodstained.

Not only was I excited to play a new Metroidvania from the guy who made the best Metroidvania, but the price in my local currency was 1:1 to the dollar. I knew that this price was wrong and that it might go up after release. And I was right, the price increased.

Totally worth it and the game was amazing at launch.

By their logic you need to play Andromeda to understand the ME5? ME5 is a direct sequel of Andromeda? ME5 doesn’t make any sense
