I was just looking at Valve’s publishing history. Their catalog is super small, only releasing games every few years. Aperture desk job was amazing (even if very short and sweet). I don’t have VR but Half Life:Alyx was also very well received. Recent evidence suggests there will be a HL3 sometime in the near future.
Do I wish Valve would invest more of the unfathomable amount of money they’re making into producing excellent games? Absolutely.
Am I going to hold it against them if some of the games they make are money-printing machines? Not really.
EA game should be reason enough not to buy this game.
Requires EA launcher
Requires EA DRM
Requires linked EA account
No offline mode, even for single player
You couldn’t pay me to play this game. If you buy this game, you forfeit the right to ever complain about this bullshit because you’re actively encouraging it.
The “buy” button (or any similar verbiage) needs to go away (unless the provider intends for it to be available forever) and replaced with “rent for x years”.
I just got invited to a Steam Family and got a couple hundred new games so…a lot!
Lonely Mountains Downhill not a big fan of this one.
Elden Ring - only for a few minutes but excited to start this one.
Dead Space - played quite a bit of this one. Controls and vantage points are frustrating but it runs using about the same amount of energy as Hollow Knight on Steam Deck (~8W), which is quite impressive.
My Friend Pedro - Also a REALLY good and fun game with frustrating controls. Kinda like a modern side-scrolling Max Payne.
Doom + Doom II - I think I bought this a long time ago as a DOOM “package” or whatever you call the sets on Steam. I can’t do it LOL it’s just bad. The new music tracks are excellent though.
Deadpool - Absolutely excellent 10/10 fun game to play but you can’t buy it anymore. I’m sure you can pirate it somewhere.
