Tbf, there’s a lot of people that don’t find babies cute

The OG steam controller can do it too, at least if you’re using the dongle
- Comment on The European Commission's answer to SKG: "The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially." 4 days ago:
Looks like the EU Commission is in the billionaires’ pockets. Go ask the French what to do with that info

Lol.
Again, that’s not how proving claims work. You made the claim, so pony up. If your evidence is so irrefutable, then share it.
You’re literally running the playbook of Gaslight, Obstruct, Project. You should quit “trying” to make indie games and run for political office for the MAGAts.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen you posting on here, and you paint yourself as a wannabe indie dev that’s totally incompetent so you start bitching and moaning about everyone else instead of actually learning how to make a decent game, all to avoid admitting that you suck at it. Grow up, you are not entitled to have the entire world bow down and tell you you’re a special boy like your mother.

Seeing as Epic is losing money with a 12% cut, and Steam actually goes down to 20% if you sell enough units, your case doesn’t seem particularly good.
Also, Valve is funneling a ton of money into Linux gaming, especially into open source software. That’s infrastructure. And some of it is infrastructure that won’t go away if Valve goes bankrupt or enshittifies
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 6 days ago:
You’re the one making claims figure it out.
But by this point it’s pretty obvious that you have no proof. You’re just trying make it look like you’re waiting on me because you can’t admit you’re full of shit.
Like I said, pony up or shut up
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
Personally I didn’t care for the more drab and depressing tone of Enderal over TES. But that’s my personal opinion on it and if you like that sort of vibe then you’ll likely have a good experience
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
Add in OpenMW and Tamriel Rebuilt.
Tbh, I really need to get into Morrowind myself. I’m excited for Skywind and kinda waiting for that to come out instead, since I have a lot of projects keeping me from gaming this year
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 1 week ago:
All those things you added can be added to Skyrim as well via mods
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
There’s a cost to maintaoning infrastructure, and EGS is laying off employees because their 12% cut isn’t sustainable.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
You’re the one making the claim. Thr onus lies on you
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Blindly believing those claims before they’re proven in court is very stupid.
Let the courts make their ruling.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Have you seriously never heard of the Nintendo v Palworld cases? Those are still going on after 2 years despite Nintendo’s claims being complete bullshit
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
They’ll still threaten to delist your game for seeking it cheaper on sites outside that scenario
Do you have evidence?
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Got any proof to back up your claims?
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Yet.
Anti-consumer behavior is anti-consumer behavior
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
You know perfectly well what I meant. Do you have proof that prices on Steam would were actually artificially inflated?
Also, claiming I’m blindly defending them? I’m asking for hard evidence and telling people to not blindly believe claims and speculation until proven in court. How is waiting for verified evidence “blind”?
Pure hypocrisy on your end
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
A pending lawsuit is a merely a claim, not a proven fact or hard evidence. Swamping an entity with lawsuits doesn’t mean the defendent is guilty, because you can sue for anything.
We’ve already seen this happen with Monsanto, Disney, Nintendo, etc. where they go after smaller entities by smothering them in lawsuits to drain their coffers. It doesn’t matter if some lawsuits get thrown out or whether they’re valid, they just need to squash the competition.
And Microsoft, Apple, Nintendo, Sony, Epic, Ubisoft, EA, etc. all have financial reason to see Valve fall. Linux adoption is a threat to Microsoft and Apple, the PC market is a threat to console manufacturers, and having a pro-consumer store as the dominant player in the market limits what anti-consumer practices other storefronts can do.
Don’t just blindly trust claims and speculation, especially when there’s a lot of finilancial incentive to lie. Wait for lawsuits to actually get resolved.
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
basically saying there game won’t get promoted on the store or in searches unless they agree to sales.
I’m very skeptical of that. The Factorio devs famously refuse to ever put the game on sale, and has even increased the price over time to account for inflation. Yet they’re one of the most popular games on Steam
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
Proof?
- Comment on Dutch gamers file €220 million claim against Valve, operator of game platform Steam 1 week ago:
with multiple unrelated entities suing them
How do we know they’re really unrelated? A lot of the lawsuits are in the US, where
briberylobbying is very prevalent, and the lawsuits brought forth by private entities could be backed by Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, Epic, etc. under the table. Hell, any publisher/developer involved in the ESA is by definition not “unrelated” - Comment on PC Games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 1 week ago:
The story gets really dumb at the end. Plus, the final boss is a type of robot you kill about a dozen of on the way to it, yet for some reason it’s super powered

Not even remotely like BotE

On the plus side, one of his inventions killed Thomas Midgley Jr., arguably the most environmentally destructive chemical engineer in history
- Comment on Aerosol 1 week ago:
One of my coworkers insists that the hole in the ozone layer is an iris that expands and contracts for regulation. When I asked him what it was regulating, he just shrugged and gave a look that said “I don’t know, you tell me”
He also claimed that believing that humans were capable of changing the global climate was pure hubris, despite the USSR deleting the Caspian sea decades ago.
And he thinks the wind turbines that have been installed in the past 10 years are making tornadoes worse, contradicting his claims that humans can’t change the climate

There’s plenty of movies on metacritic with high rating but completely boring. Not really a good metric for quality
