- Comment on Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice 2 days ago:
I’d much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.
There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn’t focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.

Yep, map packs are dlc. And it wasn’t alone. Every multiplayer game worked like that at the time. Exclusive or not.
- Comment on What MMORPG are you playing, and why? 2 days ago:
I’m not playing it at the moment but the most recent one i was actively subscribed to was ffxi. I find that now when I want to pay an MMO I stray away from the wow likes (if i want that style it’s xiv for me though). I like the older ones that use more archaic combat systems because they’re often very unique on a genre where everything now feels very similar.
Also here’s an obligatory “I miss Wildstar”

Halo 3 and other games of it’s time did well enough, and the multiplayer for them layed way longer than most live service games.
Actual DLC was better than FOMO cosmetics in my opinion.

Even so. There was once a magical time when games did not have FOMO at all.
- Comment on EXCLUSIVE - Year 2 Content is Planned for Ubisoft's Skull and Bones 3 days ago:
What makes you compare intergalactic with concord? Ones a paid for hero shooter doing nothing new in a sea of free to play games of the same genre. And the other is a single player narrative focused game from a studio that has a proven track record of being able to make great games in that field.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice 3 days ago:
It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn’t have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.

- Comment on The Steam BulletHeaven2.0 festival has arrived 2 weeks ago:
If doing what they are doing is occasionally giving us cheaper games and making it so steam has to up their game on sales again then yeah, I’m glad to be part of that problem. You’re welcome.
- Comment on The Steam BulletHeaven2.0 festival has arrived 2 weeks ago:
I’m not discrediting valve for all the good they’ve done but they’re not holier then thou. And it’s not like I pick epic over steam. I buy on steam way more due to convenience, but I have to also be smart with money at times and just buy where it’s cheapest and take as much free stuff as I can get.
Also “dividing” the pc market is not a bad thing. Why would you want one company with a monopoly? They should have competition, it’s how we get good customer focused values in the products and services we use.
- Comment on The Steam BulletHeaven2.0 festival has arrived 2 weeks ago:
And valve are instead the saviour? I have no allegiances when it comes to platforms. I play all consoles and use all storefronts.
Out of all platforms I’ve had more grievances with steam lately when it comes to customer support and refunds.
- Comment on The Steam BulletHeaven2.0 festival has arrived 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a fan of tencent it comes exactly but it’s not like the days they’re collecting is precious to me at all. If they think there’s value in a bunch of nonsense that only allows generalisations then I’m fine with that if I get something from it, like free games.

Where has it been stuff that it has to always be online?
- Comment on New PlayStation Portable report backed by Digital Foundry 2 weeks ago:
Sony and Nintendo are the only ones still doing console exclusives. Sony only cherry pick what they release elsewhere. Even if this handheld doesn’t have specific exclusives for it itself (if it is for playing games you can play on ps4/5 and nothing else) it still has value in the sense that it’s still a handheld and can be played anywhere rather than triggered to a tv or monitor.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
I can’t think of any other devices that have apps in the same sense where other developers can also release their apps as long as there is a cut for the platform holder where there is no other legal alternative to get apps elsewhere.
The only examples I can think of are games consoles, but they are seemingly next on the chopping block. I think the only thing that has stopped that from happening as soon as the apple one is the fact that for the majority of games, you can still get them physically elsewhere at prices that aren’t completely dictated by the platform holder.
- Comment on Update on ConcernedApe's Haunted Chocolatier 2 weeks ago:
This is the kind of update and transparency I needed to see. I was one of those that were disappointed at seeing stardew get more and more updates, seemingly putting HC on the shelf. But I understand his reasons and the urges/duty that brought them about.
Looking forward to this game but I also, like others, don’t need it rushed out. I just wanted to know that it was actually still being worked on and not cancelled quietly. Him talking about his attachment to the world and characters had definitely got me more excited, as that will likely give it same charm as stardew seeing his heart seems to be in it the same way.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
The apple thing wasn’t about apple vs android for a monopoly. It was about how there’s no alternative option on ios for purchasing apps. Android is completely irrelevant to that decision.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
It’s fine, it lists the games I have, installs and updates them and I can press play to play them without anything like pop-ups getting in the way.
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Does the image have a source? Also I don’t think just revenue some us the only Barometer for a monopoly. If something has very few users but had really high prices that they’re willing to pay for them by your metric they’d be closer to a monopoly than steam
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s not like valve or any of the other companies that sell games on steam too. They’ll all have your data and some what people think are so dastardly, (when in reality it’s just grown-ups playing with numbers).
- Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store 2 weeks ago:
Epic games launcher is no where best as bad as anyone says. The storefront is also one of most responsive ones, especially compared to the likes of GOG.
For me, I just buy a game wherever it’s cheapest. Like I got satisfactory on epic because I could get it like £15 cheaper than steam.
Like I don’t understand why people are so irked by a steam alternative. It’s not like it requires new hardware to play it’s exclusives like with consoles. Aren’t we all supposed to be against monopolies, steam needs competition, look at how shit its sales have been for like 10 years now compared to what they were like prior.
