lol I’ll feel like I’m heading in the same direction😅

23% average game completion rate? Or “has been loaded at least once”?

atomicpoet, 4 godziny temu

Unapologetically, I’m a non-completionist.

Only complete the games you’re compelled to complete.

I actually own

The funny thing is, you don’t own them.

atomicpoet, 4 godziny temu

Say what you will, every game I’ve bought—I can still play. And I’ve been buying Steam games for over a decade.

Meanwhile, none of my GameCube discs work on my Switch.

You can still play it but increasingly games are becoming very different from what you bought.

I’ve started noticing a disturbing trend. More and more games that are older being sold at steep discounts or “free to play” and simultaneously jampacked with invasive telemetry and/or ads/microtransactions. And since Steam won’t let you play older versions, those games are effectively dead.

atomicpoet, 4 godziny temu

Out of the thousands of games I have, not once have I noticed anything like you describe.

Ulrich, 4 godziny temu

Oh well if you haven’t experienced it, it must not exist then 🤷

atomicpoet, 4 godziny temu

I mean, if it’s a trend, you’d think I would have noticed it by now.

Ulrich, 2 godziny temu

And I suppose my experience doesn’t count? Or you think I’m making this up?

atomicpoet, 2 godziny temu

I don’t know, you haven’t pointed out multiple examples.

Hadriscus, 2 godziny temu

hmmm that doesn’t ring a bell here either. Which games do this ?

Ulrich, godzinę temu

The most recent ones I’ve noticed are Riders Republic and Borderlands 2. Helldivers also introduced a bunch of new microtransactions years after it’s launch.

Dyskolos, godzinę temu

And what there is steam’s doing? Borderland’s a greedy IP from a greedy company. What do you expect?

Hadriscus, 41 minut temu

I have to say I never played those. Do these microtransactions lock content that was previously available out of the box?

Dyskolos, godzinę temu

That is what firewalls and sinkholes are for. Stupid telemetry.

Yet I never noticed such a “trend” in direct combination with steam. The whole industry goes to shit, but it’s not steam’s fault.

Dyskolos, godzinę temu

But the vast majority can be played without steam. Mostly by force coughcough but still. I know, still no legal ownership.

Oh sorry sir you are not playing these games on a phone or tablet platform therefore you are not really playing true games, you are only consuming mindless entertainment.

You’re really busy posting on the internet for someone that has 7.000+ games to play with 77% of them in backlog, and a family to spend time with.

That other thread got weird and defensive real fast.

ChapulinColorado, 2 godziny temu

Tends to go that way when the take is so dumb and disconnected from reality. Might as well have shown dick pics with diamond encrusted micro transaction “rewards”.

atomicpoet, 2 godziny temu

Great idea for a future thread.

How much have you spent

atomicpoet, 3 godziny temu

A few thousand dollars.

Never bought a single game at full price. Almost all the time, it’s at least 90% off. Lots of game bundles abound. And free games are given away all the time.

Mario 64. Never really had the patience before, I would rather play PC games. It’s pretty fun. Gameplay is where it’s at.

Nikls94, 3 godziny temu do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Did you finish all of them? Or at least play them for an hour? If you’re using steam for 20 years, that’s a game a day.

atomicpoet, 3 godziny temu

I definitely don’t complete all of them. My goal is to at least play an hour each, but not every game is worth an hour.

The most time I’ve ever spent on a game is around 100 hours.

cyberpunk007, 3 godziny temu do games w Elden ring night reign single player

You can play it single player, I played all the souls game single player, but more recently prefer doing bosses with others because I’m not a patient player and from software bosses require patience. Lots of it. Lol.

OpenTTD. Trains go vroom.

Had it on my radar for a while, didn’t think I would like it this much. Boy was I wrong, my sleep is as badly scheduled as my trains.

mohab, 3 godziny temu do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Why do I play all these games? Because it's important that they're played.

Well, evidently not since you're actively ignoring about 77% of them 😂 And who boasts about their hyperconsumerism on fucking Lemmy of all platforms 😂

atomicpoet, 2 godziny temu

Wrong. Not ignored—not played yet.

Dyskolos, godzinę temu

Come on, none of us will ever play all their games. I’d bet around 2000 of my games on steam are some free keys or other incredibly cheap shit I wouldn’t touch with a 10m-pole. If I’d ever find them again in the library, that is.

But I admire your positivity and optimism 😁

atomicpoet, godzinę temu

Hey, I’ve played every game I purchased between 2012-15.

Dyskolos, 4 minuty temu

Hmm sounds suspiciously like one of those sane people who buy a game and then have thousands of hours of fun with it. Get outta here 😁

Jazsta, 3 godziny temu do games w Patient Gamers - Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Noita. Got a good deal on the steam sale. Took a while to get over the hump of not knowing what the heck is going on and dying a bunch but getting better at it has been fun

RightHandOfIkaros, 2 godziny temu do games w Elden ring night reign single player

It already supports single player.

It supports 1 or 3 players, which is why not supporting just 2 players was stupid and they are fixing it.

Hadriscus, 2 godziny temu do games w Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing.

Nice. Life is short, play games
