The inevitable conclusion to every crappy corporate product that they feel is no longer profitable enough.
People need to stop building their habits around corporate produced slop that might not get any more updates after a few years after release.
Anyone not convinced that Trump is a Nazi is lying to themselves.
Honestly modding and fan games are becoming such lawsuit traps idk why anyone even bothers anymore instead of just making an original game. At least that way you own the Ip and can distribute it however you want.
Make the next big Mario style game instead of a Mario fan game that is never going to have anyone play it thanks to Nintendos lawyers.
I’ll celebrate every aspect of the scam that is Metaverse and the oculus rift dying off.
Like any other studio bought by a big corporation this is the inevitable outcome and I wish the best for the employees that had no say in the matter.
Nothing of value was lost
Got a version without the slop Ai?
GAAS is a fucking scam. Stop playing this consumer abusing trash.
But but but…. I don’t care who it is making and selling them, games as a service is toxic to players and anti consumer. TF2 normalized and opened the door to a lot of the shit that turned into loot boxes with its micro transactions for keys to get better weapons and cosmetics.
GAAS are scams, even if some of them might behave and don’t shit all over the living room floor.
Yeah it’s all the Shit TAA covering up lazy developers cost cutting.
TAA is a plague and is artificially inflating the performance cost of games to sell new GPUs and pump the Ai bubble up some more.
Two good games as a service doesn’t excuse the huge rotten pile of GAAS scams.
Two shiny red apples in a pile of compost still makes it a heap of shit.
GAAS is a scam even if you simp the billionaire making it.
They do this to obfuscate and to control people. They want you to not read the terms of service and to give them unfettered access to your personal information and that of your children by making it difficult to understand and make the appropriate choices.
More entrenching of their services as a monopoly. Without a doubt the cost of a sales page and servers would be less than 30% of a lot of games sales. It’s a cost they are willing to pay if it means keeping their walled garden and 30% flat rate. (Like Sony selling consoles at a loss)
Any open source Linux contributions from steam (proton) are welcome because it’s not tied into their monopoly and people can use them freely.
You can enjoy the small victories while also being aware of future outcomes from these corporate giants.
And yet he still charges 30% to list on steam…
He could move it all to a non profit like blender and charge creators a reasonable price if he cared about the industry or players.
He’s just as profit minded as any billionaire. He’s just using Linux contributions to solidify their monopoly on pc gaming.
Till it goes public or his son decides to shit all over it for profit.
Credit to the people making the Linux software not the wealthy oligarch that happens to allow it.
Should be illegal right after a union was formed.
Gabe? As in the billionaire from steam Gabe?
Bewahahahahahstop simping a billionaire just because they made a thing you like.
He’s just as much on table one we eat the rich!!
Ross is the hero we truly needed.
Artist link?
Or did you also steal labour by using Ai…
The hypocrisy is pathetic.
Trophies can be very fun when they incentivize the player to interact with the game in ways that you normally don’t do during a regular play through.
Most games have trophies designed by some corporate drone and consist of a handful of trophies giving for completing the storyline and the rest for token actions that you’ll inevitably do while playing. They fucking suck!
Ratchet and Clank did it right back in the day before trophies with their Skill Point system. Little fun challenges that you wouldn’t normally do. Gave you points to unlock some skins and cheats.
Is that really so much to ask for… yeah I already know the answer.
