To me Disco Elysium was the next example of the “Art Game”.

The game people bring up when discussing Game as Art, without actually explaining what makes it art.

“which games”

The multitude of incest games that litter Steam’s new releases?

The ICO trilogy

After People insisted that Sony backed Palworld was an indy. I knew the term had lost all meaning.

It’s simple

Game I like = Indy

Game I don’t like = soulless committee designed AAA trash

G*mers: “that’s not going to stop me. I can’t read”

G*mers and GabeN throwing a shit fit right now.

GabeN going to buy more Aston Martins to crash.

That’s why I don’t put the /s there. Always draws out the Stockholmed masses.

I was being sarcastic.

Valve are monopolistic, popularised micro transactions, directly profit from loot boxes and gambling.

If gamers weren’t so brainwashed and Stockholmed syndromed they would realise that.

Yeah, but counter point.

It’s got Steam branding.

Another win for the good guys.

there’s a reason Steam is number 1

Monopoly, and Stockholmed G*mers

As if it wasn’t already.

PC G*mers aren’t known for being with the times.

You are aware there were other digital distribution platforms that Steam put out of business, by those practices.

Hell. They made publishers release physical disc copies of PC games, only for forced Steam integration, locking the on disc content behind a wall.

The first game got heat for no other reason than it was an Epic exclusive. Pissy pants gamers were upset it wasn’t on their monopoly.

Yes. The libertarian monopolist will save gaming.

Are lemmites going to realise that they aren’t the majority and that there’s a whole world of different people out there.

Looks at comments

I guess not.

Of course Steam would allow this.

Notorious libertarian Lord Gaben has no issue taking fascist money.

Threatening Steam’s monopoly. And the unwashed Stockholmed masses hate that.

no modding allowed

Normally Bethesda relies on mods to make their games playable. So this is a big change

Or any game company. This has been the norm for decades, probably since the first piece of software was sold.

It’s because valve has always been transparent about it

Gonna stop you right there. It’s only recently, after being forced to. That Steam highlights that you are buying a licence.

I find it so strange that people hate Ubisoft for this, but would rush to defend Valve for starting this trend.

G*mers aren’t known for being smart.

nor can you kill major quest givers.

Pretty sure yesman is the only character you can’t kill.

Steam Machine 3: This time it’s personal.

It’s comment threads like this that just show how absolutely clueless G*mers are.

Get a load of the nerd reading the articles and making informed opinions. Just join the rest of us in mindless circle jerking.

Gabe. The same Gabe that has profited off micro transactions, lootboxes, and selling unfinished games. That Gabe?

You already have to use workarounds to get non-steam games to work on SteamOS.

Let’s not forget that this started back ten years ago now with the failed Steam Machine concept.

Gabe needs to pay that fleet of Valkyries he has bought somehow.

I won’t say I told you so when in four years Valve starts offering exclusives to those using SteamOS.

It’s not about killing Windows.

It’s about slowing making G*mers comfortable with the idea of Valve’s own closed off ecosystem.

They have already made G*mers comfortable with not owning their games, loot boxes, micro transactions.

This is just another example of Valve being the money grubbing, monopolistic, anti-consumer company that they’ve somehow got away with for years now.

Sounds like classic money-grubbing Gaben.

Stop mod development to make it an easier purchase, then release it chocked-full of loot boxes.

Yet more evidence that G*mers should be bullied more.

The Last Guardian was the next game in the ICO trilogy.

Whenever people talk about games as art, Shadow of the Colossus is guaranteed to be brought up.

Which is also annoying because The Last Guardian would make a perfect TV show.

I know Shadow of the Colossus is the bigger name. But ICO would make such a better movie.

Gamers are starting to see Valve as the monopolistic scum they are and Gaben is panicking.

Not only that. Epic takes a smaller cut, and when a game goes on sale or is free that comes from Epic’s cut, the Devs get full pay.

Something that the bootlickers always seem to forget.

I see the Valve bootlickers are out in force. How dare Epic fund indie games, what a bunch of bastards

where he squarely puts the blame on Valve

I know G*mers are far to Stockholmed by the monopolistic hell scape that Valve is responsible for.

But it’s nice to see someone say it.
