Give me the 2027 list, I’ve been done with these for years. 😂

Bill Gates hasn’t been CEO of Microsoft in 26 years. Not that there aren’t plenty of reasons to boycot Microsoft.

This, fuck Nintendo. Its disappointing to see so many people have zero respect for themselves.

What a roller coaster, especially because I have no idea who these people are.

I’ve really only ever played the GB version with various hacks. The Rosy Retrospective DX hack is pretty dope.

What’s the difference between this and FreeTube?

You can get a used Steam controller on eBay. It’s perfect for games like these.I played Dawn of War with one and it worked great.

You’re moving the goalpost, have a nice day.

Except your original comment said nothing about the power it had against brick and morter, you said several of the games listed were old enough that steam was in its infancy and not the defacto storefront when they came out. The only one that came out when Steam was in its infancy was Roblox, and as for the rest, if there’s no other storefronts around to speak of, then its the defacto storefront.

Walmart didn’t let local stores go out of business, it deliberately undercut local stores in order to drive them out if business.

Jesus Christ, I had no idea know Roblox was that old. (2006 btw, not 2005) I thought LoL and Minecraft were the oldest, which both came out in 2009, and Steam had already cemented itself by then. It was definitely past its infancy, and what other digital game store was it competing with back then? I was already using it, and there was nowhere else I downloaded games from other than individual game’s websites. It WAS the defacto storefront. Walmart is a store, not a storefront.

Not gonna disagree with you, but that not something I personally have the skill nor the infrastructure to achieve so I’ll take what I can get.

Its not a virus, but it is corporate spyware.

Steam was the defacto storefront when all those games came out.

Half-Life 2 wasn’t designed to be a great game. It was designed to launch a digital storefront that allowed Valve to rake in 30% of all revenue for games sold on the platform - which is often a larger percentage than is paid to the actual people making the games.

Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. It was used to launch Steam, but it was also an objectively great game because Valve cares about their craft.

Phone batteries are shit, so I prefer to game on a separate device.

/r/Roms Megathread

It runs an actual OS and has a real keyboard. Gives me way more utility than any smartphone.

Is it going to be more of that freemium crap? Because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED the first game, can’t tell you how many times I happily bought across how many platforms. The second game though was a huge letdown. The switch to free-to-play with an emphasis on microtransactions was a huge mistake that ruined the integrity of the game.

I’ll definitely look into it. Early TF2 was one of my favorite shooters of all time.
