Sure, in the grand scheme of things, but per user, not getting $70 from me costs them more.
- Comment on Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach 1 day ago:
It's more costly to the developer when I dont buy their kernel AC game.
- Comment on Kernel Anti-Cheat Is an Overreach 1 day ago:
Anti-cheat should be server side. Cheats are done on external hardware now as kernel AC chased them into the undetectable zone, well played.
No game is worth sacrificing your entire PC to play.

It costs time and money to make them smaller, big studios dont want to waste that and know their games will sell regardless.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
You are right, the indie space is booming. I meant big gaming, the mainstream triple A crap. But some kind of shitty practices being accepted by people in AAA games, does bleed down to some smaller studios indulging.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
Gaming is so fucked.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 2 weeks ago:
Nobody in the right mind is buying AAA games at launch. They always go on sale a few months later.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 2 weeks ago:
The only way you are cooling these houses down at night is if there's a mighty breeze, cool outdoor temperatures or if you took the entire roof off.
Your theory might sound good, but in reality it doesnt work that way. Temperatures during this heatwave wont even drop below 20-25c at night, opening the windows doesnt magically mean that the inside drops to match outside as well. It takes hours and hours to do so, and by then the sun is back up, heating the houses up again.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 2 weeks ago:
Even with all the windows and blinds closed, the temperature of the house still gets warm. Then it's hard to expel that heat before the next day, so it gets even warmer.

Dont they train AI on your snaps too now?

Not at all rude, imho, maybe the culture is different where you are from?
I value animals very highly, so why should they get named after food, that seems rude.
- Comment on What is up with the trend of naming pets after food? 4 months ago:
Nah, real names are the best names for pets. Makes them more part of the family.
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 months ago:
Do you have a source for that? All I can find on their Steamworks site is the rules on Steam keys being restricted, not other versions. Maybe I missed that email part in the news.

You dont like games that look like you have grease smeared over your monitor?
- Comment on Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam? 5 months ago:
It only applies to Steam product keys though, so developers cannot sell cheap Steam keys on other platforms while still taking advantage of Steam's services.

Epic Games Launcher would always end up a pile of shit anyway. Tim Sweeney is a fuckhead and he has lots of investors to please.

They already did that, we'd just be clearing up the trash.

Can we destroy all starlink satellites already?
- Comment on Steam Owner Valve Faces $900 Million Lawsuit Over PC Monopoly Claims, Following UK Tribunal Ruling - IGN 5 months ago:
I'm hopeful Valve, and by extension Steam, will be fine. The employees are like minded, I don't see it going public and derailing once Gabe has left.
- Comment on Spotify’s 3rd price hike in 2.5 years hints at potential new normal 5 months ago:
Individual plans are a rip-off yeah, Spotify is one of the only services I subscribe to and that's because I have a family plan, so it's not so easy for me to just cancel it, when others are relying on it. It works out at €3.40/month ($3.95) per member. The value there is really good.
Spotify lets you just listen to anything, I can put a playlist on and it will keep going forever and I have discovered many tracks I would have never listened to, or even known they existed. Buying music is great, but only when you know exactly what you want, I'm not a big music person, I like listening to it, but I don't really have a dialled in taste. Spotify is great for that.
There will obviously be a tipping point though when they inevitably raise the price too far and I will abandon ship.

The final final update?
- Comment on As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 5 months ago:
Yeah, I mean I still give them a go, but ultimately I think first person is better suited to shooters.
If Division 3 has a beta or whatever, I will probably try it too regardless. If the game is good enough even with TPS, then that would be great. I doubt it will be anything remarkable though, given Ubisoft's implosion.
- Comment on As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 5 months ago:
Well yeah that's the thing though, you are filling in the blanks. I can't remember all the marketing material, I think they did cut a lot of the map though.
Even if they did manage to make it expansive and interesting enough, the third person would ruin it for me. It was clearly made with slow camera movement of controllers in mind.
- Comment on As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure' 5 months ago:
Eh I remember it looking a lot better, it does look very bland in that trailer now I have watched it back. I suppose your mind fills in what you actually want from the game, but then after it releases you realise you get exactly what you were shown, a mediocre and boring game.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 5 months ago:
Yeah, the rest I can understand, Arc Raiders is anything but innovative.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 5 months ago:
There's differences in playthroughs, if you choose, but it is linear. The game ultimately railroads you to the same endings.
- Comment on The 2025 Steam Awards Winners 5 months ago:
Steam Awards is a popularity contest.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 5 months ago:
Get a Steam Deck? You can hook it up like a PC, use it sat around. Though its not a powerhouse. Wait and see how the Steam Machine fairs? There's still a good second hand market for parts too.
Its a shitty time at the moment with scumbag companies and AI, so consumers are completely fucked.
Also: Fuck subscriptions.
Plus the game pass versions of games are complete dogshit compared to the Steam versions most of the time. - Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 6 months ago:

Good thing to get away from CD Projekt, to be honest. I hope GOG thrives more in the future!
