Sorry you got swindled into buying games on a bunch of different launchers.

Competition for the sake of competition isn’t intrinsically a good thing.

Seems to me, most of the people complaining about Steam are greedy devs who want to make more money off of their products.

For me, as a user, that’s not my concern. For me, as a user, it’s more important that I can play games without having to download different launchers just to make someone else richer.

GOG is probably the only legitimate competitor with Steam. They provide value to customers instead of just themselves or greedy devs.

I’ve been weaning myself off of Steam for years now.

I only use it at this point for games I’ve already bought and games that are exclusive to Steam, like TF2.

Anything else I just download for free.

We did it boiz.

Pat yourselves on the back if you never used an alternative.

Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I agree with what he’s saying, but he just looks like he’s punching air when nobody is doing what he’s accusing them of.

Seriously. Everyone should play older games even if they’ve played them before.

You’d be surprised how well they hold up and are even better than most games released today.

All of them.

Eh, I think time will tell.

Even if Starfield isn’t a hit right out of the gate, it’s possible it will develop a small but dedicated community that will keep it alive. They could show us some cool stuff in a few years.

To be honest though, I’ve never really cared for modding.

That’s sad to hear.

I was pleasantly surprised with Fallout 4’s story and thought their writing team could keep up the good work.

I haven’t seen it for myself, though.

I think a lot of this stems from doing less with more and vice-versa.

The passion people put into their creations shows in the tiniest things we don’t notice but still affect us. It’s why I think some movies can hold up for decades and others feel more like a fad, even if the former has fewer resources to work with and the latter technically ‘does more.’

Theseus’ Ship of game development.

It happens with all art.

I’ve only seen people stream it and it looks… like a Bethesda game. Like, to a fault.

I’m reading that’s what a lot of people expected, and I’m honestly surprised.

I thought Bethesda would put their jankiness aside and give us something that’s wide, deep, and polished. But it really feels like Bethesda has been releasing the same game ever since Daggerfall, just with different skins.

I guess better the devil you know? I’ll probably play it at some point when it’s finished.
