What’s wild to me is they’re making their own overlay for their PC games. Ghost of Tsushima is supposed to be the first release title with it. Do they not understand steam already has an overlay? I feel like 2 overlays would just compete and be obnoxious and possibly ever impact performance.
Also, why? If it is for co-op crossplay, just make linking PSN to Steam optional, and state it is needed for inviting/grouping with any PS5 friends. Then do what every other multiplatform game does and show 2 friends list in the game.

Steam only removes games from the store, and doesn’t remove games from anyone’s library. Those affected people, if they didn’t refund, will still have HD2 in their library.

God, that quote is forever my all time favorite. Never fails to make me laugh. Every once in a while I gaslight a friend, but like absurdly and obviously. Within a few minutes they ask, “wait, are you gaslighting me?!” And I respond with that quote, to their sighs and chuckles.

I drove for doordash about ~2 years ago. Everyone knew the ratings had no say in your orders. You could see all the threads and Reddit posts of new drivers asking, and nothing but replies along the lines of the only metric that matters is failed deliveries. Fail to complete too many (IIRC it was something like you needed 80% success), then you essentially get fired in the form of you won’t receive any more orders.
To be fair, that might have changed since, but IMO those platforms are fragmented and they need all the drivers they can exploit. So unless a driver fails too many times, what do they care? From personal experience though, it can easily be the customers fault and they get pissy and leave a bad review, which makes ratings that much more irrelevant.
Example/old rant: Had a guy order a single Popeyes sandwich, with like $1 tip. I took it because it SHOULD have only been like 7 mins total, as I was right there, for a quick ~$5. They gave 0 instructions for what must have been an apartment complex designed by a mouth breather who failed Elementary School. 1/2 the buildings where numbered/lettered the same. They didn’t use any kind of order for building nor door numbering, and on top of that the entrances were under construction. So every door had its number missing except for a little piece of painters tape with a sharpied number on it. After 10 minutes of looking for his apartment, and 0 response from the customer, I left it at a random apartment whose number matched and took the photo, and left a comment it was impossible to find their apartment. Of course within minutes of completing the order they start blowing up my phone, to which I just finally blocked their number.

Those driver ratings mean literally nothing, the ONLY metric that counted as a driver was incomplete deliveries.

Like others have said, Windows Defender, but also an ad blocker extension for your web browser. I’d recommend Ad Nauseam -which is ublock origin under the hood- and Firefox over Chrome. All of those are free.

This article didn’t research the VR bits…Gabe has said multiple times, even recently, that they are working steadily on VR and it’s hardware. Their next headset even has a codename, Deckard.
Also, I don’t think most people realize Valve doesn’t have much of an internal structure. It more resembles a community of people working together because they want to.

Alan Wake 2 is a masterpiece! Fuck Epic though, I pirated it and will buy it on sale on Steam whenever that happens.
