If that works for you, great! I’m going to keep pirating games without demos though.

If you refund too often they will consider it “abuse” and stop letting you do it.

No. Demos are rare and games are expensive.

Zidane vibes.

I thought they already did.

Not just that but what other new fee will they create and force on developers out of nowhere?

I was going to say 89% but there’s a lot of asset flips on Steam.

Don’t worry, 90% of our users won’t have to pay anything at all! Just ignore that like 50% are people who downloaded Unity to mess around for a bit and never made anything other than a “hello world” or similar.

I know I won’t be using it. There is no guarantee that they won’t do something similar in the future.

It would be great if a portion of them decided to dip their toes into game development too since it’s free.

It’s when they let you pay more to play on release day instead of having to wait a few days like a peasant.

It would end up being another open world full of meaningless busy work objectives. Far Cry with talking animals and you play as a woman this time.

If you’re enjoying it, I would recommend checking out the rest of the series too. They all emulate well enough, except the PS2 games but they have PSP ports that emulate almost perfectly. The PS3 games might still be purchasable.

More content doesn’t mean better, especially when that content isn’t the kind that I find enjoyable.

Glasses don’t correct this issue.

I have glasses. This isn’t something that they can correct for me. Glasses don’t fix the shape of your eyes. Maybe this can help explain what it’s like? It’s about conferences but it’s the same for anything with that colour scheme. The smaller the text, the worse it gets.

Dark mode is not good for everyone.

but it’s hard to realistically say a game from one genre is better than another, apples and oranges and all that.

I agree.

Looks like I’ll be playing on potato mode.

It’s not blue light. It’s blurriness caused by the white of the text bleeding into the black. Straining my eyes to read it causes headaches. I can use light mode things with no problems.

Steam skins don’t reskin most of the client anymore. I used to use a light skin similar to Metro when Steam still properly supported it.

That works for a browser but I would still need the client to install, uninstall, and manage game settings. Steam skins only work for a few areas of the client. Most of it will still be unreadable.

GTA 5 does not look like a better product to me.

That’s why their games suck. Smaller teams and budgets make better products.

GOG because it’s more convenient and less ableist.

Steam’s colour scheme makes it difficult to read and causes eye strain and headaches for people with astigmatism, like me. The way the light text bleeds into the darkness surrounding it makes it difficult to read anything so I can’t be sure of the price that I’m paying without copy/pasting it into notepad or something. When I made a thread pointing this out years ago, when they disabled the old theme system, Valve’s mods banned me from the forum and deleted my thread.

I sent an email to Epic Games about the same problem in their store and got a response that could be summarized as “Don’t care, go fuck yourself.” so they are not a good option either. I don’t like gambling so I won’t use EA’s virtual casino, and I want to keep the games I buy so Ubisoft’s store is also not an option.

It’s GOG or piracy for me.

CrossCode and Cave Story+ work on Linux.

I think it’s completely enjoyable without knowing anything about Hololive. The only thing you would be missing out on is the memes that the weapons and items are based on.
