  I love seeing these comments that completely ignore the southern hemisphere

  CS GO (now CS 2) has constantly been on the top 5 most played steam games globally for a decade now, so yeah, I think people are still playing this game.

  Affinity Photo is $60 once and you own it forever, with free updates. It's pretty much the only actually good Photoshop replacement.

  Sony is out for justice

  It wasn't to avoid epic, it's because there's no crack for the game yet and the only way to pirate it is to play on a switch emulator.

  I think they're aiming for people being split between updating the game and not having their mods working, or not updating the game and playing their mods.

  It's just click and rage bait, this whole thing has been worded to seem like CDPR is disallowing mods forever and people are upset with it.

  That's the engine in which Creation Engine was based on, so what? Saying that name won't somehow invalidate everything that was developed using the two engines or accomplish anything really. By your logic, we should call Source 2 engine the Quake engine

  Gamers will never be mature or have realistic expectations. They cannot fathom that people are enjoying a thing they don't like, and they're very vocal about it, it's petty, really.

  I try to move myself off of these discussions but there's always one comment that drags me down the well because it's so blatantly untrue, but it's miserable. Lemmy, kbin and Reddit are overly negative places where it seems the goal is to get everyone mad with terrible takes.

  People need to remember that opinions aren't factsz and learn to shut the fuck up and let people enjoy things.

  I've had not a single crash so far and most of my frame dipping issues (from 60 to 40) were solved by lowering the shadows to medium. The only bugs I had were ships spawning in other ships so they spaz out, but that's very rare. On the other hand, Baldurs Gate 3 would constantly drop to 10 FPS and I had severe bugs that locked me out of entire questlines.

  But I guess I'm not allowed to enjoy games and have fun because gamebryo = bad

  Exactly, people forget that most of the well known engines today are as old or older than Creation Engine, they're all patched/upgraded as it fits, though Creation Engine has no apparent version numbers and it's made by Bethesda so you get free internet points and a feeling of superiority for hating on the popular thing.

  If you took these folks opinions as truth you'd think Bethesda games are massive flops that barely sell 10 copies and are a study case on how not to develop a game, but the real world is very different from the echo chamber...

  People who park forwards into a parking spot: why are you making your life more complicated?

  Samsung hasn't fixed it, because there's nothing to fix, as this is Google's intention. The gestures work but are very finnicky and the animations are laggy or don't play at all. Xiaomi decided that they don't want this so they disabled gestures with third party launchers.
