• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Confirms a New First-Person Ghost Recon Game is in Development⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would we be excited or happy about this? They can still cancel it at any moment. It’s not real until it’s released.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux smashes through five per cent desktop share in the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, also wonder how many people it proves that Linux is now perfectly valid for a gaming pc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The upcoming skate. from EA will be unsupported on Linux / SteamOS and Steam Deck due to anti-cheat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, easy way to get me to put away my wallet

  Can’t read it due to a paywall

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s locked into the Xbox ecosystem. Even if it can be changed, which I assume they’re going to work really hard to not allow with steamos being so easy, most would simply give up before trying something else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROG Xbox Ally Is $700 And Xbox Ally X Is $1050⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The sad thing is that a few dozen people will buy it no matter the price, and will have a thousand dollar piece of e-waste when Microsoft decides to kill it off

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Payment Processors Are Pushing AI Porn Off Its Biggest Platforms [404 Media]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m honestly shocked it took this long tbh. It’s obviously a liability, the only question is what site is going to be sued into oblivion first, and a lawsuit would name everyone in the chain, from the site hosting it, to the cloud provider with the data on it, to the card processors. Whoever loses will be “made an example of” too, more than likely shuttering the doors of the site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Belkin is killing off parts of the Wemo Line⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, unfortunately most people don’t understand what that is, and buy devices thinking they’ll be supported long term. Us here know better (I bought Wemo early on and stopped years and years ago now because I knew this was coming, but I know I’m not the majority).

  Oh come on, it’s Microsoft. They’re forced to use copilot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rumor: MMO Developer ZeniMax Online Studios May Have Closed Most Of Their Locations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they only made one of the most successful MMOs to date, of course Microsoft is closing them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple hits back against 'unprecedented' €500m EU fine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unprecedented is not a bad word. It means there’s no precedent. I mean we’re finally pushing back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is the dumbest idea ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason this would need to be a bill is if people are upset that they are failing the exam. Which means they qre failing the exams, to the surprise of no one.

  What we should be doing instead is making our neighborhoods more accessible to those without cars. I’m sure they feel like their mobility is gone if they lose their license, but that shouldn’t be the case to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨European game publisher group responds to Stop Killing Games, claims 'These proposals would curtail developer choice"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So tone deaf, and clearly they’re just trying to steer the narrative.

  They call out that it’s never taken lightly and it has to happen. We know. Stop killing games just says you have to do something when you turn off the servers. Either release the server source code so it can be engineered by the community, release a self hostage server alternative, even just documents or guides on how to get started.

  But they’re going to try to make it about the mean old gamers want them to go broke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I agree. I’ve seen way more startups kicking off with these waves of layoffs. It’s a silver lining, not much more, but I’m happy to see people finally realizing they don’t want the big tech solutions anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh they may call themselves Christians, but none of them uphold the ideals or beliefs of Christians. They are hypocrites. The same day they do this they take away healthcare from millions, take food out of children’s hands, and ramp up more violence to those already hurting.

  I don’t care what their label is they put on the outside, none of these are Christian. They openly spit on the morals that Jesus laid down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Politicians praying inside the House of Representatives⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same as any theory, but it’s enough to make Christians freak out

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to leave tech: what do I do?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah writer doesn’t mention money anywhere there, that’s the real trap. All of those sound nice but I have rent to pay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google loses $314 million lawsuit over data transfers when Android phones are idle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Always nice to see a positive outcome, let’s hope they lose the appeal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My statue Peebee (Mass Effect Andromeda)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I couldn’t stand her, but I’m glad she brought you so much joy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft layoffs are reportedly underway, with ZeniMax and King employees losing their jobs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember kids, don’t buy into hype anymore. Hype is a marketing tool. They don’t have to make any promises that a game will be good or even come out just because they hyped you up for it. Don’t allow yourself to be excited for anything until it actually releases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft cancel Perfect Dark reboot and shut the developers down in the name of "continued success"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta love how they always have a euphemism available for “ruining people’s livelihoods so we can appear slightly better to investors”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young Americans Are Spending A Whole Lot Less On Video Games This Year⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting, would be nice if they showed what the average increase in prices was on this graph too, I bet there could be a correlation…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's real problem was never PlayStation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They ran off even their most loyal players one by one with their asinine moves. Lame games, vendor lockin, nickle and dining.

  I was die hard for Xbox. Had every one, dozens of games, more probably. Have fond memories of lan parties and friends coming over to play split screen. I remember playing through halo 3 the night it dropped into the early morning, and getting the beta from Reach.

  Then they killed off split screen. And lan gaming. You had to use Xbox live to play with your friend in the room. Oh no they don’t have Xbox live. Oh no there’s an update. Now they don’t have their password. They can’t join my party. The audio doesn’t work. It became a hassle to play with people

  Steam just works. And it’s a fair price

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What we can? How? I’ve been eating ramen and hemorrhaging savings paying for cobra

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wheee⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Was gonna say, covid if anything made me more focused. I did so many side projects

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seconded. This seems like a gamers nexus story ready to happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best buy had one of the lowest lows and best recoveries I had ever seen while working there. The new French CEO made it about customer service, and I saw people and teens who had never considered going to a best buy start going. Stock price went up, people were happy.

  Then the board ousted him a few years ago and made it all about profits, going right back to where they were in the downward spiral, completely unaware of the irony. I hope they fail now. They could have come out on top but greed took over again.
