reason: “games where it doesn’t belong” you don’t get to decide what an artist does with their art

Oh yes, I decide where it does belong to. As much as you decide what opinion I have and remove my comments. I can decide for myself where it belongs.

For the record, I am not doing what you say. You either didn’t understand my comment or whatever the case is here. I am saying that your or others gender should not be a factor deciding how games are developed. The mod log of removed content, in case someone believes what you said. So don’t tell people I was forcing my opinion on others: https://beehaw.org/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&userId=442071

Definitely. I was just being sarcastic.

Saying that to an indie studio is mean.

Future generations using Ai to automate this kind of thing will make it even worse probably.

Also lot of handheld options like Steam Deck use AMD as well. Not sure how big of a factor this is overall.

Yeah most people are not here to discuss and are toxic, that’s why I don’t answer to most.

I am not saying the sexual orientation or gender is forced on my, but rather for games where it does not matter should not be a factor of deciding how the game is made. What I mean is in example Marvel Rivals, people want trans characters added to it. And that has implications for gameplay and such. In example there are very popular characters from Marvel universe that could be added and needed too, in specific gameplay features. But if the gender is a deciding factor, then it affects gameplay decisions of developers.

Or in games like Zelda, people want a character where you can set the gender. But this has huge implications for the story and also requires lot of work for no real benefit, other than your gender being different. Nobody should care in games about your personal gender, its not about you.

And on a personal experience in the forums, what’s really bad is, if developers don’t do it, then those people get toxic and attack everyone in the communities for not doing it. Also spamming at every post about this, even if its offtopic.

However I can understand asking for this in games where you roleplay you as a character, or even if there is a character creator. Especially in games like Cyberpunk it makes 100% sense to include these as options. So I am not talking about those kind of games.

But they have influence on the games I do play (and spam the forums too). They don’t let us enjoy by forcing their gender (and sexual orientation) into games where it does not belong to. Mind you, I am not talking about roleplaying games where it makes sense, like Cyberpunk.

I don’t care what sexuality people have. Let videogames be videogames and not controlled by some preference of sexual orientation.

If “even an old Intel HD 770 can allegedly run the shader at well over 800 FPS at 1080p”, wouldn’t a modern bultin iGPU in the CPU enough to run at 240 FPS as an alternative to a dedicated GPU?

I say always, if you can wait, then you probably don’t need it right now. Then wait. Otherwise, we don’t know much and how it will compare, and if its worth the price. So we cannot see in the future. If you are unsure, wait and see how it compares. If you need it badly now, just buy the current one.

Valve can count to 3.

SteamOS 3.

Fair enough.

You mean one can play ships from Star Citizen in Squadron 42? Otherwise, how would the parents have ships already playing the game, if its not released. I’m a bit confused about what is meant here.

You know the game was revolutionary back then? Compare this to games before Super Mario Bros. Kojima is and was always a visionary looking into the future. He extrapolated the possibilities and thought whats possible in the future. Kojima knew the games would not stop at that level.

As an example, based on the very first computers people already envisioned talking robots and artificial intelligence, based on the technology they had back then. There were people thinking about internet before the internet, because they were good visionary into the future.

How is that silly? He was way forward thinking. And correct.

At this point, I believe Half-Life 3 will come out before Star Citizen Squadron 42 part.

But what part does apply to the Steam app itself? I am aware of benefits of 64-bit. If you guys don’t know or don’t want to answer, then why even bother with replies like these? What is the 64-bit executable worth for the Steam app specifically? Besides getting rid of old libraries. Does the steam app has any benefits from 64-bit?

That is not what i was asking. I’m not negative here (if it sounds like). Besides supporting legacy old 32 bit libraries, are there reasons why someone want to go 64-bit only?

They don’t need to test two architectures, if there is only 32-bit. So that’s not a real point. And CPU extensions for a basically shop? Alright the Steam app is not just a store, that’s true, but it’s not like a game or low level library itself. So I am not sure if additional 64-bit only CPU extensions is a great reason.

I’m not convinced at the moment that this is a huge win. The biggest reason is being dependent on the older libraries, which in some environments is just nasty. I am also not against 64-bit only. It is just surprising how much demanding some users are and how hugely celebrated this is, if it actually doesn’t matter much in real world. As said, besides the library thing.

What’s the benefit, besides having older 32-bit libraries installed and be dependent on them? I mean is there any other technical benefit of 64-bit only? It could use more than 4gb of RAM, but for Steam itself this shouldn’t be needed.

This is not negotiable. (It must happen.)

used a controller more than we’d like to admit

I don’t understand this statement. I mean it sounds like as if it was a bad thing you hide it or something… There is nothing to “admit”. I even play some first person shooter (single player) with gamepad, nothing wrong with it. Especially great with the gamepad support from Steam Input.

Despite all the controversies it is involved with (some are dumb to be honest), I really enjoy the show. I also like its a longer show and not over in 34 minutes. Besides the main attraction for most, the ads and trailers and announcements, the show respects the developers and give them a place to shine in person. The show is a celebration of videogames, with music orchestra and awards, personal speeches.

I wonder how many are here for the actual show, and how many are here for announcements only.

Tim Swiney said on the game product page there should be no disclosure of Ai usage in the games, in response to Steam “forcing” the disclosure of what is being used Ai for. Just shows how I will avoid Epic Games Store even more than before. There are plenty other reasons. Epic will not buy me as a “user” by giving me free games (however I do not blame anyone else doing so, free is a great deal to be honest).

I am surprised that Civilization 7 made it to top 9 of revenue on PC. I mean yes, an old beloved in depth strategy in its habitat shouldn’t surprise doing well. But I did not expect it do this well in today’s day and age. At least in the western region, tracked by a statistics tracker “Newzoo’s Game Performance Monitor”. For a comparison on Steam statistics for 2025 how these stats hold up, we have to wait a little longer.

I actually meant how it paid off to pay for 10 years. Denuvo is quite expensive as far as I know.

Its a bit weird. The game came out 10 years ago, which mean Square paid Denuvo 10 years long. The game was countless times on sale for 3 Euros on Steam: https://steamdb.info/app/225540/

SteamDB lowest recorded price is 2,99€ at -85%

Price seen 59 times, last on Nov 18, 2025 (29 days ago)

I have no clue how this paid off.

If you can imagine it, then its not worth it. :p Half-Life 3 will be unimaginable… I mean off course it will, yes?

There were so many suggestions and prediction about Half-Life 3, that I cannot take anyone doing it seriously anymore. There were suggestions Half-Life 3 could be announced at the Summer Games Fest in example. I don’t expect the game to launch with the system, despite it would be the “perfect” opportunity. But someone said it could, so people start believing it will. And off course they will write articles about rumors, because that generates hot link of clicks.

Hopefully Ubisoft can stay on their own feets. With some marketing support from Amazon, it will be helpful for sure. I don’t want Ubisoft to be purchased by a bigger company, despite not buying their games. I want these companies be “independent” if that makes sense, as Ubisoft is also a publisher themselves…

I think the guys starting the project were new. They might have hired experts along the way.

I do not wait because of the state of the launch. I wait, because game will improve over time through updates. Like whatever bugs are ironed out, new features and balance changes and such. Rarely a single player game gets worse over time. In example FSR4 was added now, arguable making the game better than before, as this is the superior technology for this kind of thing on AMD hardware.

And it’s their first game. A truly WTF moment in gaming history… in a good way I mean.

I will be one of those who play the game later in its best state. Like I did with Cyberpunk 2077. :D I just wait until more features are added and bugs get fixed.

Delisting of games always suck, regardless of what store it is.

The linked forum does not open for me.

Agreed. Also the words “Classi:c” and “Classi:fied” have lot in common. :-)

Hmm, that’s a new one for me. Why the dislike for DisplayPort?

DisplayPort for the win

As long as enough people play and buy subscription each month, it will still be available. Look at Runescape, its also still kicking. I wonder if Runescape or WoW will die first. Imagine the last servers getting shutdown…
