Getting pulled back into Mount and blade: bannerlord.

I’m a cheap bastard so I don’t think I’ve bought anything released in 2023. Always wait for the sales haha.

Pluto,

The Steam Winter Sale should be coming up soon then and you’ll have your chance.

Monetization is the natural path of capitalism. It would not have stayed free for long.

These options look pretty interesting. Too bad Worms W.M.D cannot be live streamed on Xbox Game Pass anymore…

mateomaui, in GTA 6 - 1 Trailer

7, huh?

CluelessDude,

Fat fingered, smh

mateomaui,

Donjuanme, in EU court rules people can resell digital games

A decade ago.

Venat0r,

?

Odo,

Check the Eurogamer link in the article. It’s from 2012. This shouldn’t be an article in 2023.

Tosti, in Steam Workshop: New Quality of Life Workshop Features

Having competing platforms require games to move away from steam workshop in order to also service their customer on these other platforms might be a blessing and a curse at the same time.

Finally some much needed updates.

I assume you mean Paradox and Cities Skylines 2 mods. I worry when their mod manager finally gets released, it will still have a fraction of the features and QOL that Steam Workshop has right now. Epic Games learned the hard way that it is extremely difficult to spin up a new product and compete with a product that has decades of maturity.

Absolutely true. There are several websites that also do mod support (for better or worse). I just think that having several options to provide mods to customers is better than having one option.

A different article claims they didnt close, just changed their name.

lps2,

So is Stitches going to sue as well? Seems perfectly covered by parody

Games not even put and people are already looking to score a buck off of lawsuits

hperrin, in Valve says no to inhaling Steam Deck fumes

Well then I say fuck you right back. I’m sniffing my Steam Deck and there’s nothing they can do to stop me.

@scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech avatar

It smells so good. But every time I do I think “yep this is pure cancer” and I stop.

D61, in Valve says no to inhaling Steam Deck fumes

i-get-it Back in my day we’d just huff the gas fumes while we were filling up the car.

Hestia, in Valve says no to inhaling Steam Deck fumes

They probably just replied with “ew, no. WTF?” And them someone writes an article about it.

Thats pretty much all it was. Guy asked tech support if its OK to smell the fan exhaust, and they told them they dont recommend it so as to not give anyone a reason to do something needlessly stupid, in case something does go wrong.

BrikoX, in 2023 Top Games measured by Gross Revenue

4 out of 9 platinum sellers are free to play games with microtransactions. And people are surprised that good AAA games are so rare. Why bother when people will spend more on barely functioning buggy crap.

otp,

To be fair, a decent share of the AAA games are also barely functioning buggy crap on launch…

And some even come with microtransactions.

idiocracy,

“AAA” game companies goal is not to make good games, but to make good money.

ImplyingImplications,

Starcraft II Dev explains a horse microtransaction im World of Warcraft, that took one person a few days to make, made Blizzard more money than StarCraft II, which took an entire team 2 years to develop. Capitalism ensures major studios will never make a good game. Games are now only a pretense to sell microtransactions that cost the company nothing to produce but sell for millions.

BmeBenji,

The fact that Modern Warfare 3 is among the platinum sellers with a Mostly Negative review score blows my mind

WarmSoda,

Nah. That’s like being surprised EAs new football game made bank.

Blizzard, in 2023 Top Games measured by Gross Revenue

… on Steam. I find it hard to believe that Starfield had revenue comparable to other major titles if it didn’t come out on Playstation.
