How do you people think games are made? The entire field is notorious for its working conditions

You mean the idea that if wasn’t created completely by people? It matters to you that some unpaid intern wasn’t forced to work overtime writing the most boring bullshit scaffolding code?

I didn’t say that. It should be more specific to have any meaning to the consumer.

Steam should combat shovelware whether it’s AI slop or human slop

Of course, that’s why we need better guidelines. It’s like beauty ads that have to declare they used Photoshop. Every photo is edited if you don’t make it clear what you mean

A short hike! Very pleased to see this one mentioned. What a game. The best kids game IMO

Not what you asked for, but my music taste was shaped massively by Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series

Best MOBA imo, no idea why it flopped (except pushing a pro gaming scene for an arcade title within the genre)

It was 99% cheaters, last time I checked. Has that changed?

Unreal Tournament series

UE4 movement was buttery smooth

Hissssss 🐍

Don’t preorder, what the hell are you people thinking?!

Yes, it’s worse. It is.

Nah, the point is that technical limitations are no substitute for actual in-person supervision. I don’t have a lock on the sweets cabinet but that doesn’t mean my kids can eat unlimited sweets.

Agree and using the same approach. Only limitation is purchases, they can’t spend money.

It never stops with parental control. Corps will use it for their own CYA policy as well, specifically age restricting everything

To be fair, it is full of racist and fascist stuff. You can report them but Valve doesn’t do anything.

Linux users: 👐 it’s happening! 👐

I wouldn’t know, I’m a filthy casual. Parkitect never did it for me, but Planet Coaster did. The point is nobody’s making a new Rollercoaster Tycoon under that name, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t worthy successors from competitors.

Cities Skylines is a better example, I remember how much Sim City sucked, but Cities Skylines knocked it out of the park

It’s time for a new Sims. The way Cities Skylines replaced Simcity and Planet Coaster replaced Rollercoaster Tycoon. Fuck EA

Yes! Boycott early access

Wait, but Steam doesn’t have Android games, right?

If this means I can play my Steam games on my phone… Yay! 🎉

Even worse when you realize it’s the job of these journalists to tell people there’s a whole world out there. The general public may not know about this, but if you’re a journalist making these claims, they should know better

Two good reasons not to buy are mentioned in the article: Ubisoft and No Steam

“They must have been planning something terrible”

“They weren’t”

“Well they should have!”

🤔

You’re just being contrarian.
