Valve is an excellent example of a company that is privately owned, so they don’t have to satisfy shareholders with constant growth for growth’s sake. And yet they’re still growing and making a profit, because they make a good product.

Phil and Xbox don’t have that luxury because their masters sold out decades ago.

They could definitely treat developers better, but they’re an example of treating customers right. That’s why they’re the biggest platform, and that’s why they admittedly have something debatably close to a monopoly.

This seems like EXACTLY the type of game I would pirate, if I was still a teenager pirating games. Something without online play (or with online play that I don’t care about) that looks kinda dumb but maybe it could be funny, and I don’t feel like it’s worth full price. So I would just pirate it, play it halfway through, get bored, and delete it.

I’m too old for that shit now, I don’t want viruses on my PC because I store things on there that are actually IMPORTANT, instead of just porn and video games. But back then, I’d risk a virus for this mediocre-looking Suicide Squad game.

Maybe, but when people talk about “cracking” a video game, they mean removing the telemetry parts of the .exe that might phone home and tattle on you. So often a cracked version of a game will have most online features removed. If it’s a game with a single-player campaign, it might still be totally playable.

Yeah we’ll only know for sure after it comes out, and after we see what the pirates are able to do. Pirating online-only games is also possible, it’s just more difficult so it’s less common. Maybe the pirates will wait until the single player mode launches.

Oh, pirating movies/TV/music is a totally different story, the risk of a virus is near zero if you’re careful, because you’re not running random .exe’s. I said that I was done pirating video games, not that I was done pirating completely. 😄

Does this mean the hackers and cheaters will only get worse from here?

They have games for Android already and you actually download the games; you don’t stream them. Notice that this article doesn’t specify whether these 10 games are for mobile or PC, though…

So…11 games? I hate how press releases like this say “over” a certain number rather than just telling us the actual number.

Number 1 is Alan Wake 2? Really? I mean, I hear it’s a good game, but…

Absolutely, these are the numbers for Q3. They fucked themselves near the END of Q3. I’ll be very interested to see their Q4 numbers.

It’s pretty common for hardcore FPS gamers to switch their right click (which is usually ADS) from a “press and hold” configuration to a “toggle” configuration, meaning you just click to ADS, and then click again to release it. The idea is that you shouldn’t be constantly pushing down on you mouse while aiming, it creates drag and makes aiming harder.

Are you talking about remapping your mouse buttons to keyboard buttons? Seems like it would be difficult, but it’s plausible.

P.S. ADS means “Aim Down Sights”

I mean honestly it makes sense. If we assume that the average game dev is similar to the average “hardcore” gamer, then we can only assume that they’re toxic little shits 😆
