• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you consider GTA VI overpriced?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Rockstar arbitrarily banned Linux players from GTA Online for no reason so they get absolutely nothing from me ever again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft and Xbox Team Up for Play Anywhere-Type Solution For Select PC Titles⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The only recent Ubisoft game that’s even worth playing is Prince of Persia. I’ve barely touched Ubisoft in well over a decade at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Pass Was Supposed To Save Xbox – Instead, It’s Killing the Company⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can spend the monthly Game Pass cost on a new Steam game once a month and add to am ever growing, “permanent” library rather than just piss my money away on renting games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they don’t come to Steam then people will simply continue to emulate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation 5 Bounty for Alternate OS installation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if this is managed, the PS5 is far too bulky and ugly to ever find its way into my living room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Great Steam Deck Crash of 2026: How The New Pricing Slashed Demand by 80%⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Steam Deck should already have been undesirable compared to the more capable rivals that have launched since. The OLED has a brilliant screen but the whole package is just far too bulky in my opinion. I bought a 1TB OLED Deck at the start of the year and returned it immediately and bought a used ROG Ally for half the price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only 7 PlayStation games have sold over 100,000 physical copies in the US this year, says analyst, as commenters demand discs without buying them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because the people that care about owning physical media left PlayStation long ago because of their absolutely scummy business practices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do prefer digital over all but that’s because I play on PC now where those digital purchases will last generations at a time. My console game purchases are nearly always physical because I like to sell them on when I’m finished with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel’s Wolverine - Ain’t No Hero Trailer | PS5 Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Love how all the comments are ragging on Sony about physical media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do both games & consoles cost more in the US when you factor in both sales tax and minimum wage?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gaming is massively expensive if you obsessively chase the latest AAA experiences. If you stick to older games and lower end or older hardware then it’s one of the best value hobbies around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hands-On With the TRIMUI Brick Pro: A Better Handheld, but Not a Faster One⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding sticks is simply a downgrade for me. The best thing about the Brick is its pocketability.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy a used ROG Ally for the fraction of the cost of a new Steam Deck. A much bigger library than the Switch 2 and more performance than the Steam Deck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would take an entire redesign to entice me back in. Refunded it after about an hour because it’s just another boring survival crafting game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There Is No Reason To Buy Another PlayStation Or Xbox⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t see myself buying a console ever again and I was exclusively a console gamer until this generation started.

  Big TV gaming will be handled by my PC and portable gaming will be on my ROG Ally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not about physical vs digital games, it's about ownership⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the same thing in the slightest. You can’t sell games to strangers using Family Sharing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Limited Run's Co-Founder Once Had Aspirations To Make A "Physically-Focused Platform"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SD Cards are a damn lot more expensive than discs though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data from the 2023 Insomniac leak showed that most first party Playstation games sold more physical discs than digital copies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people play once and sell the game on. That’s a lot of lost sales for Sony’s first party story driven games. They know exactly what they’re doing. If people don’t boycott Sony then it’ll only get worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This 100%. Discs are actually just ewaste these days but we absolutely need competing storefronts on consoles and a way of selling digital licences second hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More evidence I did the right thing by completely avoiding Sony this generation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d have been a day one customer if they’d bothered making a PC version and hadn’t arbitrarily blocked Linux users from GTA Online a couple of years ago. Now they can get fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation sales just had its worst May in 25 years, and Xbox's was the worst ever—Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 just became the second-fastest-selling console in US history; and other insights⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The PS4 was sub-£200 at this point in its lifetime. The PS5 has only gotten more expensive. The more casual audience/the people with another primary system aren’t rushing out to buy another overpriced box for their living room.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single player games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mostly only play single player games too but of the four used in this meme I only thought one of them was any good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sonic Game Recomendation?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s not a single Sonic game that I’d say is a must play. Sonic Generations is pretty good but it’s still just fine at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨French retailer mocks €1039 Steam Machine with “Stim Machine” RX 9060 XT PC for €999⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a pretty good deal. It won’t be as power efficient as the Steam Machine but at least it’s powerful enough to play modern games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Enshrouded - Official Version 1.0 Release Date Trailer [October 15]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Survival crafting is such a boring genre. It’s such a let down when I see an interesting game on the Steam Store Front and it turns out to be exact same dull gameplay loop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so. It’s a very new flagship Samsung TV and it does put itself into TV mode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’ve tried all supported codecs and messed around with HDR too but it’s always the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still tempted at this price. It’s about the same as a similarly specced custom build but will have much lower running costs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not always. Some Steam games are entirely DRM-free and can be run without Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG when available, but what should I choose between PS5 physical and Steam when not?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just get them on Steam and then if the day ever comes that Valve yanks them away from you it’ll be morally acceptable to pirate everything you’ve already bought.
