As I said, if those games matter to them, they can simply use Steam’s Big Picture Mode in Windows. This is a non-issue.

I can’t believe that cartridges will end up outlasting discs.

Best you can do is make it yourself via 🏴☠️.

The only ones I can think of that don’t work are online ones that use Anti-Cheat. They can use Windows instead, then.

$780 is not a “bit” more.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 4 days ago:
Right now it’s way too expensive for me, but that’s because I currently have a PS5, Steam Deck, and Switch 2 that were bought when prices were reasonable. Once games I want to play come out that I can’t play on my current hardware, we’ll see where the market’s at and what makes sense, price-wise. I might have to go without high-end games for a while or even for good if prices never become sane again. Hoping I can squeeze several more years out of what I have now.
If someone had no way to play games and wanted to start gaming on the TV now without having to build something, a Steam Machine still would be a hard recommendation when the Switch 2 exists at a decent price, with the added benefit of being portable. The Steam Machine’s only worth it at its current price for people who like to tinker.

As companies greedily try to control what I have purchased more and more, that’s exactly where I’m going.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 4 days ago:
Yes, it’s less than ideal, but still preferable to having NO way to sell or trade a license while the servers are still up. Games are becoming too big to fit on a single Bluray anyway.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 4 days ago:
For me, the locked ecosystem of consoles was justified by a lower price for the hardware and the option to sell or trade the software. Now that neither is going to be a thing any more, my 40+ years of console gaming will be ending after this gen. It’s gonna be dedicated PCs plugged into the TV from here on out.
- Comment on Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles 4 days ago:
Maybe not the Steam Machine itself, but a dedicated PC plugged into the TV using SteamOS, certainly. That’s going to be my “console” going forward after this gen.

That’s odd, my Fallout 4 was on a disc for PS4. Did you get it for PC?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Allegedly it’s because Rockstar doesn’t want leaks, which strikes me as a very stupid reason. So fucking what if gameplay is released a week early?

I always avoid buying from the cheapskates who only lowered the price by 1 gold.

They don’t need to actually get harmed
As long as they continue to perpetuate suffering, yes, they do.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 1 year ago:
No, he didn’t assassinate anyone, just caused them to die. He would have had to know who they were and cared enough to specifically target them for it to be assassinations.

- Comment on New report claims gamers spend more time watching videos about gaming than playing games 1 year ago:
Might be. I’m Gen X and have no interest in watching someone play a game in a video. I do like watching someone play in person, though, so I can understand the appeal.

- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 1 year ago:
The tradeoff of using a console’s walled garden as opposed to PC: less options, but simpler to use.
- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 1 year ago:
I haven’t played it since they were added, so I’m not sure myself. Maybe this will help.
- Comment on 'Baldur's Gate 3': Patch 8 Will Get TWELVE New Subclasses In 2025 1 year ago:
I had the same reaction, and looked it up to learn that consoles do indeed have curated mods that can be used. The one I wanted to the most, expanding the number of party members that can be controlled in battle, is there, so I might just have to do another playthrough…

I wouldn’t want the worship, but not being a regular mortal, having powers and omniscience and the like? Sure, I’d like that. Maybe I could make reality suck less for others.
- Comment on Thought-provoking 1 year ago:
Fair enough, but I also don’t think that we should consider a few days of suffering for an eternity of basically being god much of a sacrifice.
