Could someone just make, like, Raunchy Mastercard and just process payments from everyone including all the porn and weird shit that the other mainstream companies don’t want? It seems like the payment processors being puritanical dipshits is a weakness that could be exploited by an enterprising competitor.
But then again, we’re talking about a natural monopoly that has been in place for decades at this point. I wouldn’t expect them to exactly play fair.
Makes me wonder if Echo Project will have to worry about any of their games. Echo itself doesn’t have explicit sexual content, but it does have violence involving minors, kidnapping, torture, and suggestions of rape.
I began playing Runescape in 2007. I watched it go through so many changes over the years. The original game is now almost completely unrecognisable from the way it used to be!
I dipped in and out of OSRS for a few years as well. I no longer play it, but I logged into my account a few days ago. Here’s the stats I had before I quit
I also recently started playing osrs again. I highly recommend using the Runelite client! It has a lot of extra plugins that will both make the game look better, run better and help you with quests. You can choose how much help you want too. That plugin is called QuestHelper. Runelite is also acknowledged and accepted by Jagex so no worries on that front, the majority of osrs players use Runelite.
Have you ever tried the shadowrun games at all? They’ve had a decent track record overall, and several versions exist on steam and play at least okay on the deck (can’t remember exactly which, but protonDB exists for a reason lol).
Might be too similar to d&d for you, but I’ve never seen them be that similar in execution.
The big recent release that’s missing from your list is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. For me, it really evokes that FF8/FF10 era of Final Fantasy.
I hear the developers are still working on the Steam Deck build so it might be a bit rough at the moment, but since streaming from your Linux desktop is an option, I’d highly recommend it. Yes, it’s as good as people say.
I didn’t care to play it because I don’t love FF style rpgs anymore, but I watched my girlfriend play and it was worth just for the story and music. The soundtrack is INSANE. Avoid listening to it until you play, if you can. It makes everything so much better.
I liked steins;gate, chaos;head was meh at best, and worked like shit both on windows and in wine. Can’t remember anything about robotics;notes I think anime was alright?
I’ve never played S;G but I did love what I played of C;H due to the unrivalled level of paranoia that game instilled in me through its storytelling. I’ve heard it goes a bit off the rails, but I am not exactly rushing through it, and I’m avoiding spoilers like the plague.
Interesting, it’s my absolute favourite personally. I don’t hear many people dislike it.
On the subject of pixel art retro styled RPGs though I want to make a case for https://store.steampowered.com/app/1069160/SKALD_Against_the_Black_Priory/. It doesn’t have voice acting, but otherwise should satisfy your demands given you say you tolerate pixel art. It’s very short for an RPG (16-20h) but that also means it’s very concise, has no filler and no grinding. Should play well on a Steam Deck too. I played it back in January I think and had an absolute blast with it. Cool story and world building, fun somewhat simple combat. Very enjoyable.
EDIT: though there is some dice rolling in dialogue, so maybe that’s a no go.
