I fucking love it, tells me exactly who to block so I never have to see CCP shill posts ever again :) Go fuck yourself and your genocidal regime

A popular streamer Lirik revisited the game 4 months ago and it was completely chocked-to-the-brim with bugs. Like literally every few minutes there was a bug, including several immediately when he began the game.

Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Ever hear of “Chase Two Rabbits, Catch None”? Reminds me of George R. R. Martin talking about writing the last two ASOIAF books at the same time. Just… finish your fucking product please.

Games are the only software I purchase these days

If I was a newbie shopping around for a DE, I would probably be perusing websites like kde.org to get a feel for the visual style and features and such

If Microsoft had 3% market share on Steam, they probably would

Is there anything stopping something like connecting your credit card to GNOME Software Manager and then putting a big fat “donate” button next to the “install” button? I imagine there are legal considerations.

Seems like a very rushed launch to try and meet the “Summer” deadline (which they still missed by a week of course). Valve didn’t even update Steam Rich Presence so it still says you are playing “CS:GO”. The store page doesn’t have the right video on it, there’s no special graphic in the store or anything and the game banner hasn’t been updated. Lots of cut corners. For some reason Valve has been going crazy lately, they also released the Dota compendium today, SteamOS 3.5 a week ago and SteamVR 2.0 just a few days ago. Makes sense they missed some stuff.

Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it’s crazy. A NES game in today’s money would be around $160.

This is just CS:GO finally evolving from the CoD brown-tinged visuals of 2007-2013

All you do is update your current system, change your repo sources to whatever branch you want, then do a full-upgrade. For branches there is stable, testing, and unstable (called sid). They don’t recommend you use sid for everyday use, things can be buggy (currently sid is on GNOME 44 at any rate). Instructions

Counter Strike has been the same game for 23 years, basically every new game is an “update”. Porting the game to Source 2 is the single biggest thing that has happened to Counter Strike since 2004 when they moved from GoldSrc, so might as well brand it as a new game.

Square really the type of company to remake a game twice, only for one to be a little less than faithful (to say the least) and the other to be a gacha cashgrab.

Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn’t even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn’t let you know beforehand.

Technically I believe latest Ubuntu LTS and SteamOS (specifically on the Steam Deck) are the only officially supported distros for Steam

Even stranger marketing campaign, if you can even call it that. It was like four YouTube videos and some tweets.

I think it’s closer to 45, might be a typo

“Exploit their near-monopolies”. Except Valve doesn’t “exploit” their near monopoly, I don’t see Valve buying exclusives do you? They just provide a better product. Most importantly, they provide a better product then piracy. That is the bare minimum a games store on PC needs to reach and Epic does not reach that. Epic isn’t failing because of Steam, it’s failing because why buy a $60 game on a featureless store that launches an .exe for me when I can just download the .exe directly for free? If Epic wanted to provide a better product, they have billions of dollars and hundreds of devs to make that happen. They just choose not to.

but I think it’s better that game dev studios and app developers get money instead.

This tired old argument… There’s absolutely no evidence that the extra money these companies get from the Epic cut doesn’t just go straight into a Bobby Kotick yacht or some shit. There’s a lot of grubby hands in-between the store platform and the actual dev teams and maybe I’m cynical but this “trickle-down” model of economics seems kind of far fetched.
