  Any excess profit due to higher game prices will go to shareholders anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing games it seems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But anti-cheat is mostly about false sense or security anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …But then in turn they’ll earn money with Steam sales, so they’ll be earning money.

  Wait. Didn’t Halo: The Master Chief Collection already have a remaster for Halo 1??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so preordering what promises to be a motorcycle but years later getting a bicycle instead that you happen to enjoy riding is also acceptable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games just won its antitrust lawsuit against Google again⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a large part of the hate is because of the all exclusivity deals that they made at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vintage Story announces Adventure Mode, an alternate game mode inspired by HyTale⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They made a mod called vintagecraft before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you, Thor!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So that’s why he worked at Blizzard for 7 years and keeps bringing it up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun!⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but it doesn’t go out of date

  That’s not necessarily true. There has been DLC for Train Simulator (now classic) that got delisted and at some point no longer worked due to updates to the game and not to the DLC making it incompatible. Then at some point a new version got added as DLC which you had to buy again to get a working train. (8448 Big Boy and 6446 Challenger come to mind)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are somewhat isolated but not sandboxed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless they DMCA the Skyblivion mod.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take-Two DMCAs Video Of GTA5 Mod To For GTA6 Map Content⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What is this title? “mod to for map content” ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japan's prime minister is mad about Assassin's Creed Shadows where players can destroy the contents of religious sites⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Really? I tried AC1 a few times but I found it just so repetitive. Still the one I’ve enjoyed most regardless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Nintendo Wii used gyroscopic controls (first gen original controllers only had accelerometers. The Wii Motion Plus add-on added gyroscopes, but later controllers integrated both into a single unit). The IR bar was just for the Wii controller to figure out which detection was towards the TV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sims re-release shows what’s wrong with big publishers and single-player games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything else? That’s implying FC and Ultimate Team aren’t being half-assed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would they even add Denuvo to a 30 year old game anyway…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point and thanks for pointing it out, I misread it. A shareholder and stakeholder aren’t (necessarily) the same indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “review and pursue various transformational strategic and capitalistic options to extract the best value for stakeholders”.

  Ah there it is. That’s the only thing that matters anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I know UK left the EU, but I wasn’t aware they had joined USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After almost a decade, cult classic car building sim hits 1.0, and it's soaring on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst thing is (was?) that you couldn’t even build the car without looking at a tutorial online. So many steps that are impossible to figure out on your own.

  I like the game and spent a lot of time with it, but when I last played it half a year ago it still felt pretty unfinished.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2025 will be a make-or-break year for triple-A video games as we know them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then the news title will change to 2026 as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite ROM hacks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think so yes, it doesn’t stray too far from the original story but adds a lot on top of it and adds a lot of post game mechanics that I haven’t encountered yet. I had never played Crystal before (but I did play Silver and I think Crystal’s story is 90% same?) and it seems really polished (haha). It just feels like a much more modern game than what I remember Silver being.

  I’m looking for a similar sort of ROM hack for Emerald since I never played gen 3 and later. I think I’ll go for Modern Emerald but I’d love to hear other suggestions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite ROM hacks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have gone down the same rabbit hole lately. I’ve been playing Polished Crystal and am planning to play Modern Emerald next.

  Polished Crystal adds a ton of features and I love it. They added many Pokémon that you can all catch, it adds a lot of new moves and introduces the modern types and physical/special split which I prefer. It also seems like a lot more difficult than vanilla gen 2 with revised gym leader parties. I’d suggest playing the 9bit version which has almost a decade of new features added to the 2.2.0 version you usually find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tom Hardy's Splinter Cell Movie Is Officially Dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I only read the first one so far. It’s alright but they’re not written by Clancy sadly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tom Hardy's Splinter Cell Movie Is Officially Dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition Gets Surprise Update on Console and PC, Adds Visual Features That Were Exclusive to Mobile Versions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So uhm, they made a mobile port of a pc/console port of a mobile port of the original pc/console games?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Take-Two is selling its indie games label Private Division⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They still haven’t formally announced that development on KSP2 has stopped right? They didnt even announce the studio shutdown. Yet it’s still on sale on Steam…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(not) shipping gaming PCs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I’d prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare coming to PC October 29⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So much for the “Red Dead Redemption isn’t big enough for PC” reason they gave for not porting it back in the day.
