I love how like every once and a while we get games with random outlandish concepts like Untitled Goose Game or Squirrel with a Gun

Hadriscus,

I can hear this picture

DarkMetatron,

Makes me feel like home 🥰

DrSteveBrule, do games w Another live service shooter is getting shut down, this time before it even launched on Steam

Instead of issuing refunds on any purchased in game currency, Zynga informs players should quickly spend it in game before the game shuts down lmao

God that’s scummy af.

nahostdeutschland, do games w The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025

I’ve been gaming on my SteamDeck for quite a while and I will continue that. There’s no way that I’m paying that much money for a new gaming computer

lud, do gaming w 'The point is to be generous': This $20 FPS releasing next month is trying something new—giving away a full version of the game

That’s nice.

Steam has something like this for split screen games. If one person owns the game the other player can stream their games and play split screen like they were together. Apparently over 13 thousand games support the feature: store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=44

DrSteveBrule,

I have never heard of this, thanks for sharing!

lud,

No worries :) I guess you have already found it but for anybody else here is a link for more information: store.steampowered.com/remoteplay#together

Scrath,

I’ve tried this once with divinity original sin 2. With my internet connections slow upload there was unfortunately too much compression going on causing the game to look horrible

It’s easy, do not buy games from the billionaire companies who do not care about you. They are gonna do whatever is necessary to make money off of you, that’s how they became billion dollar companies in the first place.

Plebcouncilman, do games w After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game

All I read here is that there are still 8 too many live service games in development. Are execs addicted to gambling or what? Because that’s exactly what live service game development is. Also I would like to know what kind of research they are doing that indicates that more live service games is what the market wants, when people who play them rarely ever switch once they find the one they like and at this point there are entirely too many of them.

Stovetop,

Live service games that become successful can make billions of dollars, so everyone is trying to be the next big one. Having a ton of concurrent live service projects is the “throw shit at a wall and see what sticks” strategy. They expect most to fail but hope that the 1 that succeeds makes up for it and then some.

Plebcouncilman,

Hence why I called it gambling.

I find it fascinating how prude other people are from what is the level of “normal” in my social circle.

As if I don’t proudly rock that Subverse and Aurelia on my Steam Library! 💗

I mean, this is not surprising since From was like this before.

Not unexpected but still disappointing.

Namco Bandai considers PC a second class citizen.

Vote with your wallet.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’m no stranger to this in fighting games. It doesn’t mean you’re a second class citizen per se. It means they don’t want people to hold on to the beta version for months between the beta and the release, and they don’t know how to stop it.

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

As an early millennial, I can’t help but get good vibes from their 90s-era desktop UI.

The game concept and 80s retro-futurism are also appealing. 😃

OsrsNeedsF2P, do games w 'I want to acknowledge that we messed up': NZXT addresses concerns about its controversial Flex gaming PC rental program and commits to taking action

the availability of different components requires specification changes, sometimes in real-time. In fact, customers may experience a free upgrade based on changing inventory levels.

They couldn’t help but try and make “getting randomized components” sound like a good thing

catloaf,

The surprise spec mechanic gives buyers a sense of pride and accomplishment.

HorreC,

Are you in marketing?? If not, you should look around and see if you could.

MutilationWave,

It’s a meme where a game company said something similar.

catloaf,

Apparently it’s got a whole section on Wikipedia now: …wikipedia.org/…/Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_(2017_v…

HorreC,

that was my dry attempt at saying what a failure that team was when they said that, and you know it had to be someone high up that approved it.

That_Devil_Girl, do games w Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content
@That_Devil_Girl@lemmy.ml avatar

Never forget, Steam allowed Alex Jones to publish his “anti-woke” video game there. And it was as disgusting as you can imagine.

@Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online avatar

Worst part is, it seems like it’s still up on the platform for purchase. They legitimately do not care. It’s funny though that they decided to ban one developer and their games because the person was being openly transphobic, so it seems like they’re trying to make people think they care, despite not actually caring.

That_Devil_Girl,
@That_Devil_Girl@lemmy.ml avatar

Sort of like every business and corporation that has a booth at Pridefest. Many of them are hostile to the LGBTQ+ community, yet they’re at Pridefest just for the PR.

Blazingtransfem98,
@Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online avatar

Yeah, sort of. Though they’re a bit more honest since they don’t even pretend to care about us. Probably hoping that if they stay quiet long enough the problem will go away and won’t hurt them.

DarkThoughts, do games w Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

If there's one thing I hate about Steam, it's their lack of moderation. There's Nazi shit everywhere, every game who's using "woke" elements like neutral terms for body types or giving people the choice of their pronoun, or having gay characters, or people of color, or women in positions of power, etc. etc. gets the inevitable flood of constant woke crying threads, comments & review bombing. There's many people who glorify the RuZZian invasion of Ukraine as well through their profiles, while I could not even have a freaking avatar depicting a person dangling from a tree, which was graphically maybe a small step ahead of a stick figure from a hangman game. And even outside of politics it's full of trolls and clown farmers (they should really remove that one anyway). You ask for technical help, and everyone tells you basic shit or attacks you. It's a cesspool.

Blazingtransfem98,
@Blazingtransfem98@discuss.online avatar

Agreed, they really need to step it up when it comes to moderation of this type of content, including giving out permanent bans to people who make threats or harass others. Most people get a slap on the wrist if anything. I was literally harassed the last time I logged in to steam because the people I knew before knew me as a boy and I come back as a girl (I’m transfem) and they really didn’t like that, ended up calling me a groomer and the t-slur. Awful experience, even though I reported it Valve did absolutely nothing about it.
