Another stupid form of this is when they level up with you. The bandits sudddenly have armor made of daedra foreskins wielding flaming dragon bone swords and are level 9 gazillion.
Both ruin the immersion but it’s easier for me to justify bandits being fucked in the head than it is justifying them having turbo rare shit all of a sudden.
Maybe me and the other guy are the only ones but you feel like the person from the OP to us. The extremely serious attitude about a joke just adding to the humour of it.
I read that as in they either remove the helmets during cutscenes or they give you an option for selecting if you want to do that. But sure, thanks for the compliment…
Valve is in a really dominant position and has almost always been, so they got a lot of sway on what the industry standard is. So can’t really blame other corporations here for the 30%.
they probably went with what worked.
That’s one way to say it. I think early on they had the cost advantage to retail and needed to convince people to buy digitally instead of traditionally, so lower cut. But of course they, as any company, would keep it near to as high as possible while being competitive. I’m not trying to shit on Valve by saying that, it’s just how it works for any company.
What I really hate about Steam and all online shops, is that you can’t resell something you purchased second hand.
I think that was actually one usecase for NFTs or whatever. There was much talk about it a while back but after the whole jpeg fiasco and shitcoin stuff I think it was all killed off.
Friend, I don’t know if you noticed but we’re talking specifically about game distribution platforms here. I really don’t know what you thought your comment would add to the discussion. What next, you’re going to tell me that money existed before Steam too lol.
Well, I mean, I would have launched it first (as an AAA game), but I’m no game developer. 🤷 And neither are they, from the looks of it. Good at perpetually raking in money for himself and his family, though!

Well, as a guy, I’ve been asked multiple times why I systematically play games female characters in video games, to the point of skipping a game if I’m forced to pay a male one, with a few exceptions (I really liked Albus from Troubleshooters for example). Whenever there’s romance in a game, I’ll also take the F/F route....
So it’s not racist but someone could have racist reasons for getting the mod? Because the mod itself isn’t doing anything else than removing the disclaimer, which in itself isn’t racist
Not really, they were often really serious about it which made it all the more ridiculous. Sometimes it’s a fun circlejerk sub, sometimes it’s presenting their slacktivism almost as being some gaming vanguard and fighting a war against the game.
I mean I’m sure it’s a lot more cheerful for the to imagine the number as really high, but the fact of the matter is that in the end it still sold really well, becoming the top seller of that year.
I’d expect it to meaningfully affect the sales and the maker/seller/whoever behind it. Being the most sold game of the year and presumably making a fat profit, I don’t think it really did either.
That’s the cheerful way to look at it. It sure could’ve, hypothetically, sold two gazillions instead of one. Take that, game, the boycott must’ve worked! Yeah…
I guess a single person boycotting it would be a detriment but when you’re selling a boatload and making a hefty profit you aren’t all that bothered by that one lost sale.
Is it really that difficult just tell me what was the thing you meant? I’m not sure if you’re being childish or what but obviously I don’t think I’ve said anything delusional, so I’d like you to explain what you thought was delusional. I’m sorry but it’s not much of an ask.
Sure, that’s one way to explain what you thought was delusional. There’s really no need to be this difficult and childish about it. I’m literally just asking you to explain or elaborate on what you mean.
I’m not sure you know it because you think it’s delusional. That’s one reason I’m asking. Honestly if you’re afraid to answer, just tell me and I promise to drop it. I don’t mind. But if you’re unsure and that’s why you’re not answering then please tell me, I can try to explain it. I just need your help to continue the actual conversation.
You’re throwing a huge fit over saying or just copy pasting what you thought was delusional. I really don’t get it.
Did you think it was delusional to say this didn’t have a big/meaningful effect? Did you think it was delusional to say it made a hefty profit? I’m really trying to help you out here.
