If I want hacky, I’ll go pirate the game. I pay for them so I don’t need a computer science degree to play them.

They do if the dev makes it available
That shouldn’t be their decision.
I’m looking at four different versions of Terraria
Literally never seen that before. I think I see if the dev pushing their 4th update that day and now I have to wait a half an hour to play the damn game.
downpatching very easy would be a huge boon to piracy.
Not my problem.

And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

The whole industry goes to shit, but it’s not steam’s fault.
- Steam has the clout to fight back against this
- As I already mentioned, it is partially because they don’t allow you to run older versions of games.

The most recent ones I’ve noticed are Riders Republic and Borderlands 2

And I suppose my experience doesn’t count? Or you think I’m making this up?

Oh well if you haven’t experienced it, it must not exist then 🤷

You can still play it but increasingly games are becoming very different from what you bought.
I’ve started noticing a disturbing trend. More and more games that are older being sold at steep discounts or “free to play” and simultaneously jampacked with invasive telemetry and/or ads/microtransactions. And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 day ago:
Why? Because her Android has Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Roblox, Candy Crush, Wuthering Waves, and Sky: Children of Light.
These games are all great examples of everything I hate about mobile gaming: full of incessant ads for microtransactions. Literally every mobile game I’ve ever played (outside of FDroid) is this way.
Plus you need a controller anyway, at which point you might as well just carry a handheld ging system.
You could buy whatever your favorite Anbernic device for $50 and have access to a library of thousands of fun ad-free games.

No one is gaslighting. And no one is saying it’s not a valid concern. Just that the expectation to explain yourself is not valid.

PS XBOX and Nintendo are all in the same market, along with Steam, Epic, GOG, etc. The video gaming market. MS will probably still sell an “XBOX”, it just won’t be locked down to the XBOX game store anymore. This is a win for everyone.

Correct.

Reminds me of DogFart productions 😅 If you don’t know what that is, don’t look it up.

I’m sure they can but I think they also see the growth in the PC gaming industry as a potential opportunity to capitalize with “XBOX OS”.

I joke. Apple has gotten a lot better about giving options in recent years.

I have no idea how but they auto-renewed mine as well. If I wasn’t the type of person to pay close attention to my finances I wouldn’t have noticed.
That’s being said, it was very easy to cancel and refund the purchase.

They should have accounted for old games in their estimates though.

Who in their right mind is buying this?
People who don’t want to spend $500 on a PS5 to save $20 on a game.

make sure the “someone else” isn’t a clown hat like Microsoft
I mean just about anyone of sufficient size is susceptible to this. Just keep multiple backups.
