It’s funny, I actually was thinking it’s the other way around. Older gamers have a million different things begging for attention, so longer games just aren’t as appealing anymore. Younger gamers can easily find the time to sit down for hours at a time uninterrupted.

In reality, it’s probably somewhere in between. Younger people also gave increasingly smaller attention spans due to social media, so there probably are a growing number of them that just wouldn’t sit with one game for that long.

Good to see another handheld with trackpads. I can add this to the very short list of devices I will consider as a replacement if my Steam Deck ever carks it.

Wonder if they’ll be recommending content from all sides of the political spectrum, or just the right-wing content…

This one has a female protagonist, so I look forward to not being able to differentiate between legitimate criticism about the game, and reviews from man-children that are mad that women exist.

And then if the single player experience bombs, I also look forward to Rockstar pointing to the female protagonist as the reason, and not because they’re pouring all their resources into micro transactions.

I use Heroic Games Launcher to run GOG and Epic games on Linux. It’d be great to get some official support, but it’s the next best thing.

Oh, absolutely. I was only commenting on the weird timing, the game was released 2 years after an adult rating for video games was implemented.

We definitely have an odd and often archaic view on things here in Aus. Personally I think the classifications should be a purely informative system rather than something that decides whether or not something should be banned. Films are given much more artistic leeway than video games, and I could rant for hours on the government’s stance on gambling, which is much more harmful than most things you’d find portrayed in any artistic medium.

We’ve had an R18+ rating for video games since 2013, so not sure why Hotline Miami 2 wouldn’t have been able to receive classification.

Funnily enough, I own the game on Steam, so at some point Valve also made the same mistake. But at least they won’t pull the game from my library.

She’s really killed Harry Potter for me. I’m envious of the people who are able to separate the art from the artist, because I would love to play this game but I just can’t enjoy anything from that universe anymore without thinking about the horrible person JK Rowling has turned out to be.
