Of course epic doesn’t understand empowering consumers with information. They don’t care about consumers. If they did, they’d maybe try adding some long requested features to their storefront.

I’m waiting for the montage clip of Geoff just saying “Clair Obscure expedition 33” & “Death Stranding 2 On the Beach” over and over and over.
Those two freaking dominated.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
I posted this in the other thread, but wanna share here too:
Most interesting thing to me is the Frame apparently runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and is using SteamOS, implying official ARM support for SteamOS, Steam and Proton! Could mean steam and proton coming to android too.

Not just Gen Z lol. People don’t have money, games are a luxury, luxuries are the first to go when you need to stretch your cash. Not that complicated.
- Comment on Death Stranding 2's stunning new statue somehow makes Sam look even more realisitic than he does in the game 3 months ago:
Is it just me or is it a bit disingenuous to call a 1/6 scale action figure a statue?

- Comment on Day 370 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 4 months ago:
I slept on the dead rising series until the remake came out. Then I picked up the original, 2, and off the record.
All of them are fantastic games and it’s such a shame they killed the whole series with the 3rd game.

- Comment on Ubisoft EULA demanding consumers destroy delisted games adds fuel to Stop Killing Games movement 4 months ago:
Because a good lawyer looks for any sort of far reaching authority they can legally get away with, and will continues to push boundaries as legally far as they can until they get challenged. All in the name of protecting themselves from liability.
I don’t like it, but I get it. And these things can fall apart when challenged in court or public opinion.
Makes me think of the guy who died from an allergy at Disney land and Disney tried to say he couldn’t sue because of his Disney plus agreement.
Lawyers put in all kinds of legal clauses specifically to try and avoid any and all liability on anything imaginable or unimaginable. Most times it’s beyond what anyone would call reasonable. But we aren’t dealing with reasonable people.

Yep I believe that’s what this is. I’ve seen clauses like this in other stuff too. Pretty boiler plate. Not like they can actually enforce it.

- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 6 months ago:
Free is always less expensive than Netflix. But convenience is still king.
There’s plenty of pirates that stopped pirating music and started paying for steaming apps because the apps made following new music a hell of a lot easier than piracy for a while.
I was a pirate before I used Netflix for this reason, because there was a time when it was more convenient.
That isn’t the case anymore. I now pirate everything again except music (because my family uses YouTube premium and music is included) and games, because gog and steam are great apps and games constantly go on sale.
