The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don’t fit right with the switch ecosystem.


It’s a shame, I was really pulling for ‘RIBWORLD’


They’re making money in the short term by cutting costs. Maximizing perceived profitability likely in preparation for a sell off. You see it all the time, but it’s rare to see it happen to something where the consequences of that are so public.


I don’t know what it is, but I haven’t laughed this hard in awhile.

If you combine Cthulhu with nearly anything, only Cthulhu remains, but if you combine Cthulhu with King Kong, you get Cthulhu Kong.


From what I’ve heard, I think that is the officially accepted term from the community that most prefer, or am I behind the times?


From the way they talk about it… sometimes I’m not sure that there actually is a game at all.

If it came out tomorrow that it was all an elaborate hoax, I don’t think I’d be super surprised.


I really think Gabe woke up one day and just decided he wanted to own the best of every vehicle.

I’d put good money on him having plans he’s working on to some day own the fastest plane in the world.


There’s always the main story of Diablo, but for a lot of us, the real game, and the reason we kept coming back was to get those cooler items. It’s what turns Diablo from a play once experience to a put 100s of hours into it experience for me, and now it’s turned into a pay $30 experience which feels really bad.


For me, I love the franchise and have really fond memories, but this one feels like a free to play game, but then they also want $70 for it. A game with a premium price point can be okay and a game with microtransactions can also be okay, but trying to be both is going to result in those of us who’ve been around awhile just taking a pass.


Just a note, as a storefront, there are plenty of competing options that work with Steam. Think Humble Store and other resellers, Steam doesn’t take any cut from those sales and while they do enforce some standards (Things like staying close to price parity with Steam on alternate storefronts) and can refuse to give out keys, the market there is definitely very healthy.
