Picked up Eastern Exorcist. Got it for free for Android from epic but no gamepad support. So now I buy the Steam version for gamepad support. Solid game

I do buy new games even full price on rare occasion. Regardless of that, there’s nothing new games do much better than old games besides graphics and that mattering declined hard once league of legends, counter strike, fortnite, minecraft, roblox, etc became people’s childhood to their ongoing adulthood games. I’ve met people that haven’t spent a dime on genshin impact while having played for 5 years

No one is missing out on the best 2025 games if they’re playing the best games of 2015. Time is finite and if it’s filled with good, what difference does it make if it’s new or old. You’re not missing out if you’re playing the best games of 2000-2014 in 2025.

I follow emulation on Android communities and people love playing the greatest hits of the PS2, Gamecube, DS, 3DS, PSP, Vita and it seems to mostly be teenagers. And now we’re getting good PC emulation support and PS3 and X360 support is progressing. Switch on Android emulation is pretty good now. Android, Steam Machine, Steam Deck, Steam Frame, Legion Go, Rog Ally, GPD Win, Ayaneo. Even Switch 2. The relatively low power gaming scene is growing and that bodes well for “classic/retro/oldies” gaming.

It’s been 12 years since the PS4 launched. Early PS4 games don’t play much different than 2025 games. The classics oldie radio station of games are soon going to be very modern. 2007 Bioshock era games are already very modern and look pretty good too

Darksiders bundle and Halo Master Chief Collection.

Sifu. Not that old but cheap enough

After 16 years of sales, my library is filled to the brim with almost everything that goes 75%+ off that I would want. It’s like 3 games a year now that I don’t already have finally hitting the impulse buy range for me. Outside of that, fanatical and humble bundles round out my let’s buy a game id never otherwise buy and try

Was Source ever simply a public download available for developers to use? Same with Source 2? Available to download with licensing terms/revenue share details available for everyone. API documentation. Doesn’t seem like they ever made Source or Source 2 readily available to be competitive with unreal engine or unity

Worst physical hardware and software sales since 1995 so far. Switch 2 won’t be its first holiday next year and potential price hikes from storage and ram next year

Netflix gaming has existed to support it’s streaming business. I imagine the WB catalog being used for that. At best maybe some native Android and iOS ports of WB games. But I think the highest potential is a GeForce Now competitor except a Netflix catalog rather than Steam

It’s like damn look how good the general Linux desktop got with barely any general consumer adoption for about 30 years. Imagine what it could get around ~10%. 20 years ago Mac’s were only around 5%. I love gaming on Linux but my main thought is how this is the trojan horse that brings users and some funding and developer attention to open source applications. Kdenlive needs love. Ardour needs love. Darktable. Get them all the Blender treatment someday

A good amount of devs cared about the PS Vita and a good amount care for getting a Steam Deck verified badge. If the Machine can pull off another 5-10 million Linux user, not bad. Not many studios focus on the RTX 4090/5090. The most popular console of the last decade was the first Switch. PC emulation on Android as it matures may be a bigger target someday to attract sales for developers

It’s been moving fast. It barely moved like a decade ago

The worst rent seekers come for everything

A 3DS emulator like Azahar or DS emulator like MelonDS both of which are on the Play store, and play a Pokemon game or anything turn based. Play it vertically. Different puzzle games

It’s an all time great mod that’s pretty harmless with the IP

I’ll have to try that later to see if I like the UI more than regular ribbon option libreoffice
