And artificially pumping up the price of games because steam has to have the lowest regular price (so even if another platform takes less than 30% gouge, they can’t offer the game for less than steam sells it for).
But people here will jump from the throat of anyone claiming they have any anti consumer policies
- Comment on When you're the type of person who commits. (xpost, because the Factorio joke inspired me) 5 weeks ago:
Having read one of them, he’s right: They’re not good. The writing is very basic. There might be a cool story in there, but it’s not ex decided well.

They’re focusing entirely on appeasing the most expensive to satisfy people, at the expense of actual good gameplay.

If we accept the premise
Let’s not. They’re doing this backwards. If this were actually for the children, identification happens by the content, with the filters set locally.
Not BROADCASTING TO THE ENTIRE INTERNET that a child is browsing.

- Comment on Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff' 1 month ago:
Except reusing the same model/texture can be very good for performance. It doesn’t matter if there’s 1 instance or 1000 of a model in the game, it takes up the same amount of memory. Even transforming it/scaling it barely changes that.
