• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve had the final update, yes. But what about second final update?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No problems buying it on Humble Bundle. Steam was down for me too though I got it to cart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Team Cherry - Hollow Knight: Silksong will be $20 USD⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As a team-cherry-pilled Australian, I’m so proud to see some of my own people putting out a decent game at a decent price. Silksong is the #1 most wishlisted game on Steam, they could have taken the bag but care more about longevity and goodwill as a developer.

  Absolute props to them.

  Absolutely /thread

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 450 Diablo developers at Blizzard have unionized⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Crazy that AAA games take that many developers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam review scores are more robust than what 20 games critics thought about a game and is more resistant to review bombing than metacritic. The score is not meaningless IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement Stream (starts in 48 hours)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve avoided being hyped for Silksong for years after realising it’s taking a long time, but Hollow Knight is one of my all time favourite games. Not expecting this to top E33 for me for my personal GOTY, but if this is basically just bigger Hollow Knight but with a twist with different movement and combat mechanics, I’ll be thrilled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong - Special Announcement Stream (starts in 48 hours)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true anymore. 2025 mantra is:

  “A rushed game eventually is patched, a delayed game is cancelled forever (1 year after the Microsoft acquisition).”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 17th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stardew Valley led me to the video game crack that is Factorio once again. Good God it’s a well designed game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can we talk about the Roblox situation?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  10,000% truth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t tell him. Just a bad idea all around for a kid that age to have the stigma at school if that gets out, which it likely will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agree with DA2 and inquisition but DA: Origins was a great game. Graphics don’t make the game but they weren’t that bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3%⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what the percent market share is that desktop Linux needs in order to be enough for devs to a Linux-friendly anti-cheat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Join a choir. The ratio of men to women is very favourable and you’re showing a musical/sensitive side that is generally appealing.

  You either go and put it on black at the casino, or beg for more money.

  That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass Effect is a trilogy. I really enjoyed it and glad Bioware just let be great on its own without needing to reboot it /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Australians in the northern hemisphere celebrate Christmas in July to have a Christmas that reminds them of home?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a good question, I’d be nested to hear their answers. I wouldn’t, the concept of a white Christmas is novel enough to me that I would just celebrate in December and honestly Christmas in cold weather/snow is still in the public conception with the decorations down here. We still put up a tree with snow themed decorations, even though it’s just about the hottest time of the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Steamcharts showed about 150,000 concurrent players playing the game when I saw a few days ago; I’m shocked at just how popular it is as well. I think he could basically just work on it 70 hours a week for the rest of his life and it would still be a great hourly rate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mate, it’s one man, Self-published, pulling in the proceeds of a game that has sold 41 million copies. Even if he has made $5 per copy, that’s over $200 million dollars. The profit margin on his time even after 10 years is insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford asks fans if they'd swallow future Borderlands exclusivity deals, almost 10,000 people say just put your damn games on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And typically the boycotters weren’t even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there’s a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There’s no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: God of War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the first 3 after the 2018 reboot, then Ragnorak on ps5 on release. All are great IMO.

  GoW3 was pretty special. I played the remaster on PS4 and and it is a big graphical jump from the first two after my eyes had got used to ps2 graphics again.

  The sex minigames in all 3 are so very early 2000s and I loved them.

  The reboot is a pretty good continuation of the combat formula, but there does feel like there is more variety in the originals.

  Ragnorak stretched on a little too far, and I was fatigued by just how amazing everything looked eventually, but it was still a fun time. Just a less tight package than the very enjoyable 2018 Gow.

  Yep, waiting for the cynically released OLED version halfway through the gen in 3-4 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I’m so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.
