Oh my, so much (accidental) foreshadowing in your post. I hope you enjoy the ride, our cult ended up with some rather … debatable ethics despite never indulging much in the more perverse and outright evil practices.

Growing up Gen X in the midst of the Satanic Panic, this game potentially becomes everything we were warned the world would become if you listened to rock music lol.

That said, my boyfriend and I made our entire cult out of cats.

I would’ve loved to see this game come out back then. The pearl clutching would’ve probably broken a few knuckles.

Fuck that. I opened the game and the first thing that came to my mind was “let’s see how close I can get to a literal blood and sex cult”.

Not that close, I found out.

Or at least, a very tame version of it.

I never liked Steam when it was first released, it was problematic, slowed down my machine and caused me frustration.

Now it’s different. I agree with Gene Newell that piracy is a service issue, I haven’t pirated any games since steam started to fill its library with other non Valve games that I wanted.

I also appreciate the additional features that it brings like the community features and guides and managing updates for me.

It’s not perfect, nothing is, buy I prefer it to managing my own files and updates.

The biggest thing is the updates. If the game can update itself or is no longer getting updates I don’t care about it having a launcher. If I have to go to their website and download a new .exe every time they do an update it is annoying. Steam does provide a lot of other QOL features as well though.

I too prefer to buy from GoG, but I often add my GoG games to be launched through Steam as non-Steam games so I can take advantage of features like Proton and Steam Input.

If I want to take advantage of certain features Steam only offers to games you buy through them, I will buy through Steam instead of GoG. Usually when I do this it’s for multiplayer or save file syncing reasons.

Steam features you can use with non-Steam games:

• provides SteamInput which allows me to use any game controller in any game with a lot of configuration options. It’s the best tool for that purpose I’ve ever seen.
• provides Proton for playing Windows games on Linux (and I do 99% of my gaming on Linux these days)
• provides VR headset drivers and tools for using different VR headsets with games not designed for them
• provides a TV and controller optimized interface (“Big Picture” mode)

Steam features exclusive to Steam games:

• updates games automatically
• backs up my saves and syncs them across devices
• provides multiplayer server infrastructure making it easy to play with friends
• provides modding infrastructure, although not all games use it
• provides tools for managing which version of a game you have installed
