I appreciate you letting me know haha.

No shit. I live 1 hour from the US and won’t ever travel there again, pedonald or not.

I also was in charge of buying for around 300k of AV equipment for the project I was working on last year and, with the team, we agreed to cancel almost all our orders to US based businesses and replace it with other manufacturers. Zero regret.

I don’t get why gamers are so obsessed on hating ubisoft while at the same time praising Steam. Both are evil capitalist business, the difference being that ubi employs thousands of dev while steam as sub 300 employees (while taking 30% of every game sold lol). This goes for all the major studios, no matter how much youn like or hate their games, the executive only care about money and the devs want to work on games while being paid.

You should watch the coffeezilla videos.

Lol, sure they hire “hundreds of contractor” and, obviously, they do it because they like Linux. This as nothing to do with selling steam decks and the upcoming box.

Funny you would critizise MS just to then describe steam as a monopoly. Looks like people are now sucking another billionaire’s dick lol, just switched from Bill to Gabe lol. I also quite enjoy the “go ahead and build your own store if you’re not happy”.

I known none ot you will do it but you shoulr watch the coffezilla videos if you want to know who valve really are.

They will delete all these games (that you don’t own remember) the day they believe they can make more money selling your mom anal plug, that’s just how capitalism work.

Oh the point always end up being that valve is good amongst gamers. Their asses must hurt from that much free kissing.

No one never adresses the part about valve’s gambling system, the fact that you don’t own your games, the huge cut they take, etc.

But in theses times, your personal convenience is the only thing that matters, fuck these kids.

Conveniently forgeting the part where valve creates a gambling system for kids, as usual. But I get it, the only things that mathers is you.

I can’t understand the amount of energy people spend defending Valve.

I get it, you like video games (so do I) and steam is a convenient platform for transactions.

But, in the end it’s just another dirty capitalist business that only cares about one thing: MAKING MONEY. They literally invented gambling for kids, got watch the coffeezila video about it and they take 30% of any game sold while having sub 300 employees. It’s pretty much the most profitable business per employee in the US.

They do not care about video games, about linux, about the fact that their home country is turning into a fascist state, and most of all, they don’t give a fuck about all the gamers that keeps posting about how great they are. They would change they business model to sell bbq sauce tomorrow if the believe they could make more money out of it. And each time someone points that out, even here, it gets downvoted lol.

Or, you could say Valve took the work of thousand of open-source dev and saw an opportunity to turn it into profit. I’m not saying they didn’t contribute, but the only reason is because they saw a opportunity to make money, they don’t care about Linux.

Harder mister valve, please.

Valve still makes a ton of money from kids gambling. They don’t care about anything else than money and yet gamers keeps kissing their ass.

Yeah, why do you buy things if you’re against capitalism? Checkmate.

I want a Twin Peaks or Silent Hill game by him.

My main machines are on Linux (I’m on Nobara btw). This old computer store hundreds of old audio and video projects that would not work on Linux. So it’s either win 10 or the infamous win 11… I think I’ll take my chance with win 10.

What can happen if I just keep my old pc on win 10 without the security updates. I mean, it’s just a basic steaming / gaming and project archive computer. I already have backup of the important stuff.

Antichamber was so fun. Simple but creative ideas, really inspiring. If you enjoy it, take a look at NaissancE, I believe it’s free now.

Thanks. Discontinued since 2019 lol… I’m kinda late on the news.

I still use my 2 steam controllers. I want to game on couch so this is the most mouse-like thing I’ve found, back in 2016. What’s up, why don’t they sell these anymore?

Just say you dont give a fuck about trans people being attacked daily on every god damn right wing news station, being too scare to use public bathroom, and being threatened on their right to exist. JKR is OBSESSED by attacking trans identity. To the point where every actors of the movies have distance themselves from her. There’s ton of great games to play out there, when you pick that one you say, I really dont care about trans people. So just say you don’t care, and I’ll have a little more respect for you than if you call people pretentious for pointing out jkr is transphobe.

That game is something else. Music by Pauline Oliveros is half of the game’s magic.

They have been the most profitable business *per employee" for a long period, and they definitively are in still in the top. They have under 200 employees and generate billions in revenu because of loot boxes and because they take 30% on every games, while many studios have hundred of employees on a single game lol.

Now I had that conversation dozens of time with gamers and I won’t do it again, but steam fucking sucks. At this point, it’s basically like arguing with a trump voter, nothing anyone can say will make them change their mind.

I dont know what Fut is and I don’t really care. Steam is the most profitable business per employee in the US, they shouldn’t get kids addicted to gambling is my point, nor should any other game.

The Invincible. A short narrative-driven game based on a graphic novel. Pretty good so far.

Yes.

Yes. And you should boycott Steam because they practically invented gambling for underage. Watch the coffee-something video about it.

Now, 3,2,1 watch all the so-called gamers rip their shirt to defend this evil soulless capitalist business because “they offer a good service and care about gaming blablabla ubisoft bad blablabla”.

It’s baffling to see that it’s absolutely impossible to emit any form of criticism about steam (a soul-less dirty capitalist business like any other) without having an army of gamers ready to die to defend it. Yeah they offer a pretty good service, but taking a 30% on games is ridiculous.

The thing is, when you side with the anti-woke crowd, you make them feel legitimate. The latest AC game wasn’t even out and gamers were crushing it because “black samurai” and “women”.

Also, people are praising Steam, who has under 100 employees, takes 30% of the price of EVERY GAMES SOLD, 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… That doesn’t make much sens to me and sadly, in the end it’s always devs that will pay for executive’s bad decision.

I’m willing to bet my ass that gamers cheering for the ubisoft layoff will be complaining about the “good old time” of AAA studio in a couple of years. Spoiler: devs are losing their jobs, not executives.

I use Linux for everything, including gaming, but I have a VM with win11 for when I need ads in my os.

Sounds like there’s plans of hot gay sex, count me in!

I actually liked Indiana Jones 5, way more then the 4th. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is great.

Gamers are not always the most unfrozen pogos of the box.

That’s a stupid analogy. The employees are not responsible for the bad management déecisions, they just want to be fairly paid for doing a job they like. Meanwhile “gamers” are fucking obsessed about trashing a game that isn’t out yet because “nO bLaCK SaMuRai iN my HiStorIc vidiyaGame aBout ficCtiNal chArcTers RuNNInG oN wAlls”. Just dont buy their games.

Steam is just another soul-less capitalist business. They employ less then 100 people but take 30% on every game sold. They would do the exact same things as Ubisoft if the estimate they could profite more from it.

Gamers won. No executives will lose a dime but 185 workers are screwed because Ubisoft bad and Steam good.

Steam says the same thing and everyone jerks them. Plus the quote was actually out of context.

Right. Ubisoft is single-handedly responsible for everything bad in videogame. I hear it’s actually Ubi’s fault that fascism is back.

Anyway, now my coffee’s cold, thanks Ubisoft.

Lol, just don’t buy the games, it’s that easy. They already layoff half of their work force, you won, Ubisoft bad, Steam good.

And I’m not talking protecting “the feelings” of employee. I’m talking about literal death threat and bomb alert being send to the devs, not the executive, because of “black samurai” in a fictional game that isn’t even out lol.

I dont want to get into this but, yeah, it’s just a soul-less capitalist business like 99% of other studios. The management sucks, but I know a lot of people that worked there over the years (most lost their jobs in past 4-5 years), and they are just developers passionate about making games. I know some are deeply affected by all the hate they got online.
