On one hand, I don’t at all like Embracer. On the other hand, the longer Embracer exists the more likely we get that KotOR remake.

I more than suspect your future personalAGI agent will make you a KotOR remake before Embracer gets to it.

SolOrion, rok temu

Fair. I don’t exactly have high hopes for it lol.

Immersive_Matthew, rok temu

Really? I have very high hopes. Not next year or the year after but as we approach the end of the decade you will be able to ask for any experience you desire. Furthrr since it will get to know your taste, it will be tailored to you. I share this with both excitement as a consumer and sadness as a VR developer whose career will be replaced by AI one day.

penquin, rok temu do games w Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit

So there is an anti-trust lawsuit against steam, but not apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft… Etc of those giant companies who literally destroy everything in their way? Please tell me they’re next?

flames5123, rok temu

There are anti trust lawsuits going on with most the companies you listed though? Microsoft had one in the early tech days that they won, but there’s probably going to be another one soon…

Apple, Google, Amazon (by the FTC).

Good. Thank you for sharing.

DoJ is currently in a lawsuit against Google for search monopoly. Been going on for a while now.

penquin, rok temu

Good. Other giant ones need to be next.

The nerve of this prick to talk as if he’s some selfless saviour fighting for the great good…

I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!

A fuckwad even.

I’m totally adding that back into my vocab now 😂

Wish it could sound more like Farquaad, but maybe that on its own is a good enough one. Kinda rolls off the tongue

DebatableRaccoon, rok temu do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

Looks like Steam just became a service issue.

Looks like those countries have a currency issue with hyper inflation.

Por que no los dos?

Gabe should have just fixed those countries currency issues instead obviously

Valve did have a staff economist, but he left to become finance minister for Greece. (He didn’t last very long in either position.)

That would be fun to add to a resume lol

deegeese, rok temu do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

This is a tempest in a teapot.

Steam ended pricing in those currencies and reverted the prices to USD without local adjustment.

Any developers who want to sell in Turkey or Argentina will set a local price in USD.

This really only affects older/abandoned games where the developer never updates pricing. Those games will be left charging US prices in poorer countries.

BananaTrifleViolin, rok temu

Yeah it's a nonsense. Argentina and Turkey have atrocious economies, with inflation at crazy levels. Turkey's is at 60% and Argentinas is at 143% currently, on a background of years of terrible economic decisions. Their local currencies are effectively trash so it makes absolute sense for Steam to move to dollars if they're going to continue bothering trading in those countries.

gary_host_laptop, rok temu

I’m from Argentina, the prices we have now are absolutely ridiculous even with the LATAM USD, an Argentinian might have a monthly income of something around 250-350USD, and some games are something along the lines of 40USD even with the regional pricing, you need to add to that the fact that there is a tax on the dollar of 155%. I assume a normal person from the US earns something along the lines of 1500-3000USD a month, so it’s completely incomparable. To give you an idea, physical retro collectible games are cheaper than virtual ones.

Not a single game out and they are already ruining several studios...

No, it’s how you win.

The race to the bottom for you is how I get to the top. See we all win at something.

Are they having a hard time embracing it?

All I want is bayo 2 on pc. I got the first one and went to get the second after enjoying the shit out of it but it’s owned by nintendo now so I should go fuck myself I guess

*The end for steam in those countries.

Either they will pony up the cash or resort to piracy. But in regards to the second option: All publishers and storefront loose without regional adjusted pricing for the regions.
