warm, 5 miesięcy temu do gaming w Games can no longer use virtual currencies to disguise the price of in-game purchases in the European Union

In-game purchases should display the exact cost in the local currency. In-game currency should be completely banned.

If it's free to play, then some cosmetic mtx are fine, the problem is how egregious they have become. They are not designed as a way to support a game, they are designed to suck as much money as they can from you. Which is why I disagree with supporting them at all anymore.

Games should be a one-off purchase, with no extra added bullshit.

No, that's just a raffle. They had mini games during the sales.

They kinda died along side the flash deals. I miss the crazy sales, but I understand why they removed them.

PC is the fastest growing market. Consoles are slumping and I think the return of Steam Machines done right would accelerate the market shift.

I was talking about the people buying the microtransactions. I should have made that clear, I thought it could be deduced, given Valve aren't exactly ruining the game industry by stat tracking 1.7 million users, but I can see how it was confused.

Lmao... it's not Steam hate, it's the people buying the MTX. I wasn't clear enough, my bad.

Thanks to them (the people buying microtransactions) for helping ruin the industry!

warm, 6 miesięcy temu do gaming w Small, incremental improvements don't make shockwaves like the old massive tech leaps used to.

TAA is absolutely a bad thing, I'm sorry, but it's way worse than FXAA, especially when combined with the new ML upscaling shit.
It's only really a problem with big games or more specifically UE5 games as temporal is baked into it.

Yeah, there was that perfect moment in time where you could just put everything max, have some nice SMAA on and be happy with >120fps. The 4K chase started yeah, but the hardware we have now is ridiculously powerful and could run 4K 120fps no problem natively, if the time was spent achiveing that rather than throwing in more lighting effects no one asked for, speed running development and then slapping DLSS on at the end to try and reach playable framerates, making the end product a blurry ghosting mess. Ugh.

Oh I don't care about leap comparisons, was just taking interest at how graphics have evolved over time. To be honest graphics have been going downhill for a few years now in big games thanks to lazy development chasing "good" graphics, fucking TAA...

A cutscene isn't the best representation. This shows off the 8-bit vs 16-bit better.

By that logic all games would need to be rated higher, as any game can be addictive for any one person.

Yes, it is fine as long as they dont advertise "a huge branching story", when really there's only a handful of endings. If you dont count random game over screens.

BG3 has a lot of dialogue options, but they rarely change the outcome of the story.

Well, the illusion of choice mostly.

While you don't technically own the DRM games you buy on Steam, it's a whole world different than putting games behind subscriptions.
