  That seems like a questionable move tbh

    I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

      I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

    It’s no different from Hades 1. It was exclusive to PC and Switch at launch, then released for other consoles 11 months later.

      The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

  I needed to check. “console exclusive” means it’s coming to pc and both switches.

    Oh both switches?

      in OP’s link, scroll once, see “latest update”

  Great, but I’ll keep playing it on my steamdeck. With your console exclusivity.

    I just got mine a week ago. I haven’t turned on my PC since lol

      When I got my deck, my instant library of things to play due to old Humble Bundle purchases was staggering.

      My backlog would take several lifetimes to complete, and I still by new games because “sale!”

      I need to DL all of them before society collapses and there’s no access…

  I’m sure they’re getting a ton of cash from Nintendo.

  I’ll stick to the steam deck and recommend it to anyone who asks.

  Considering that 99% of other “portable consoles” on the market are actually handhelds pc which can download it fron Steam… No. It won’t be.

  Having already purchased the Steam early access version, I was ready to be pissed off until I read further in.

  Does the Steam Deck count as a PC or as a console?

  source

  • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    In this case, it counts as a PC, but given that you have to ask the question, I think that speaks volumes.

    source
  • simple@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    PC.

    source
  • mj_marathon@programming.dev ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    The dictionary definition of “console” would include the deck AND gaming PCs.

    source

    • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      The line in bluring, but the Deck can run Windows if you want, it’s a PC stuffed into a controller (and that’s not a dig at it, either)

    Both. The future isn’t in consoles, it’s in console-like PCs. Just wait until Valve drops the Fremont, I believe it’ll change absolutely everything.

  • ColdWater@lemmy.ca ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    PC, because console has less games than PC

  Methinks that’s why Silksong has taken forever to come out. Will likely be a console exclusive as well for a time

  source

  • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    We already know it’s going to be on Switch 2 and Xbox, including Game Pass day 1. It’s not going to be exclusive, but at the very least, Microsoft paid handsomely for it.

      Oh meaning PlayStation will have to wait then

    Silksong hasn’t taken much longer than og hollow Knight. They just announced it too early

  Boo you whore.

  Glad I have a PC. Again.

  exclusive

  Bro, there is no other consoles.

  This shit is already exclusive on PC. I bet it can run on the shittiest Enterprise PC you can find. You don’t even need to buy a 450usd consoles.

  News are so retarded these days.

  I hope they’re prepared to have a fraction of the success they would have if they didn’t continue the absurd concept of console exclusivity.

  source

  • 4am@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It’s also on steam, like already you can buy it in Early Access

    I don’t think many people who aren’t to Hades are like “aw fuck I can’t play it on my PS5??”

    The three Xbox users are in shambles though

    source

    • JakobFel@retrolemmy.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.

• H_dev@lemmy.ml ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  im pretty sure I have it on steam as early access and im waiting for the full release to finish the story…
