I’m not buying GTA6 for more than 15€, and I wouldn’t care if R* burned to the ground.

Here’s a thread to discuss in great length the thing I’m sick of seeing discussed.

Absolutely what I’m doing
- Comment on Every Game is an Outrage | Unpacked [7:15] 2 weeks ago:
Devs are also contending with the issue because they pivot from any originality to make safe games in a popular genre du jour and then cynically overmonetize it. Chuds are a loud minority, but other gamers also haven’t bought Marathon, it’s not just online negativity that’s the problem because it never impacted sales. It’s just that games are well enshittified and have become a bad value proposition and also everyone has libraries full of better games from times they were a better value proposition and also indie publishers have sprung that are doing a great job and prioritizing fun / quality.
Shit, I like gaming, especially since Linux became the default platform, but with a library of 1.5k+ titles in my family group, I’d have to be stupid to buy fucking GTAVI day one from the CEO that hates both games and me personally.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 2 months ago:
Possibly, in like five years when it’s 15€ or less on pc

- Comment on 007 First Light sequels will be 'done by MGM and, theoretically, by Amazon Game Studios,' Amazon exec says 2 months ago:
Why not just get the one good game you want and ignore the games Amazon develops?
In three years, once it’s nicely patched, for 10€ or less.

- Comment on Sony hasn't decided on PS6 release date or price yet, and may even "change business models" in response to the memory crisis 3 months ago:
Good luck selling any console after PS5, especially since “changing business models” undoubtedly means further enshittification. Unjailbroken consoles have always been for suckers, but now it’s getting really obvious.
- Comment on Ubisoft could rely heavily on microtransactions and live-service Assassin's Creed games 5 months ago:
Just beautiful, I love a nice corporate self-immolation.

Translation: it’s the same shitty gamebryo they’re always using.
- Comment on ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront 6 months ago:
bigoted reviews posted on games’ Steam pages, which can hugely affect sales for their developers; and Steam curators (self-appointed taste-makers on the platform) directing campaigns against games they perceive to lean left or pursue inclusion.
This fucking shit again. Reviews affect sales? Well, good. You don’t get to carefully select a few most-read outlets who’ll give you the thumb up. Also, chud curators are “directing” only those who follow them. This argument is about a failing industry that’d like to control what can be said about their products.

I’m gonna be there for director’s cut in 2029, up to 20€.

- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 6 months ago:
Remedy’s cooked, though I like their games enough that I’ll gladly pay up to 25€ a year after it’s out for a single-player experience with no need for an online connection and no added live service “value”, also provided it doesn’t come with denuvo.
- Comment on What is immersion to you? 7 months ago:
You can objectively measure it by asking a person playing for a fixed amount of time how much time has passed and measuring the discrepancy. Games that lately immersed me the most are Intravenous (1/2) and Riftbreaker.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 7 months ago:
That’s true, but it’s also a pain in the ass compared to Steam, was my point. I can click on Dishonored and have it ready in 15 minutes while I make coffee, or I can download like
Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 1 of 5) 2 MB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 2 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 3 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 4 of 5) 4 GB Dishonored - Definitive Edition (Part 5 of 5) 2.4 GB
and then install it by hand, after which I have double its size in used diskspace and have to delete those files.
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 7 months ago:
Not having a launcher is my requirement to buy a game lol
Good luck with that. I need it because I’ve fiddled with my screwdriver adjusting the cassette head position to load Scuba Diver on ZX Spectrum too many times.

Sektori, it’s the best game I’ve played in a long time.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 8 months ago:
“cinematic announcement”
Wow, it’s fucking nothing
- Comment on The best games of 2025, picked by NPR's staff 8 months ago:
It saddens me that Sektori came out too late to be on these lists, because they are effective marketing for indies and it’s one of the finest games ever made. It works flawlessly, is Linux friendly and is polished to a shine. It’s very opinionated design, but the opinions are in my opinion all correct and the overall game is a wonderful sequel to Geometry Wars. The only thing it’s missing right now is 2-player (at least) coop.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 9 months ago:
It does make sense, because I’ll boycott nearly all future productions.
- Comment on 9 months ago:
That’s another problem, even if we disregard optimizations, AAA games from 2015. look better than modern upscaled stuff, Unreal Engine seems to be so easy enough to use nowadays that big vertically-integrated slop publishers replaced seasoned developers with the cheapest of zoomers.
