That’s exactly what they’re trying to say. It could have been cheaper if Valve didn’t have pricing clauses that doesn’t allow developers to price things cheaper elsewhere.

Seems like a lot of folks are not really interested in the quirky sport, so saying fans are rejoicing because of this announcement sounds like they don’t really understand why people played HL.
Its like saying Dark Souls fans rejoice because From Software announced a fitness spinoff called Yoga with Solaire. Okay actually, they might. Bad example.
Lol I was thinking of this one when I saw the thread title. Still, I don’t see a way to filter those out
Is the level in the demo? Gonna check it out regardless, I love games that are meta and turn themselves inside out
Could have made Darwin proud that day. Alas, a slap on the wrist in the form of a $600 fine and they live to harass another whale in the future.
Really should have gotten some time in a cell to reflect on his stupidity
Keyword being “trying”
Has what you said been proven and documented anywhere? All I can find is threads of people claiming things, but no actual (investigative) journalism that covers these parts.
Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly. Still, I don’t mind being proven wrong if you got the proof to back it up
I agree with the general sentiment but it literally says it will update outside of active hours. So as non-disruptive as possible.
And the privacy toggles are set when you install the OS. You can untick all of them the last time I checked.
Sorry for being such a pedant
It might be the perspective but fuck they are shooting so low in the footage of blowing up the Ukrainian UAV that they seem to be hitting the residential buildings behind
Thanks chief, that was quite entertaining to read.
I don’t object against paywalled articles/websites in general, but if you’re sharing something accessibility is kinda important.
I will look it up but please feel free to elaborate, it sounds cool.
What’s the point in sharing paywalled articles?
Remember that reddit bot that would repeat the parent comment in all caps when someone said “what?” or a variety thereof? Good times.
We had Nintendo consoles and then I visited a friend who had Far Cry. I was so impressed by the mechanics and details (shooting enemies from under floors, sneaking around like Rambo) that I went home and basically started browsing second hand Xbox consoles to be able to play myself ASAP.
In the end, I found a cheap Xbox with about 25 games, including Halo, Fuzion Frenzy, Burnout 3, Fable, and so on. The original owner even accidentally left Ninja Gaiden in the console, so I was introduced to that gem on a whim! So lucky.
I did buy the X360 a bit later in the cycle but after that I was content with a high end gaming PC combined with Wii U. Nowadays I have a PS5, gaming PC and Switch, covering almost all libraries to be able to pick whatever I want to play.
This shouldn’t be surprising considering most Xbox games are available to play on PC right now. No need to buy an Xbox anymore.
It would make sense to require a company to release the code for players to host their own servers, which has been done by many games in the past. Not to continue to run it themselves.
That’s basically what people are asking for. Instead of not being playable anymore, give consumers the means to keep it going for themselves.
This could mean always-online having to be gutted from the game after it’s support ends so you can play it offline. Or server hosting files to host your own private or public server.
The goal is to have games not be impossible to play after X amount of time. How companies reach that goal is up to them.
I was gonna be skeptical and be like “how about we finish games first and then make patches way smaller” but it’s just about pre-loading large updates / DLC like the game itself ahead of its release date.
Only on the beta branch at the moment, so if you’re on a different storefront you can’t get an early peek.
Perfect excuse to start over for me. Even though old saves should be compatible, but with early access YMMV
Yep, I was only summarizing their angle. Here are the specifics for anyone who wants to read the source documentation: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/keys#3
The only thing that doesn’t sit right with me is developers stating Steam threatened to delist the game when they expressed wanting to sell elsewhere. I haven’t seen any proof except just the statements, but it would be weird for a developer to lie about that stuff. If anyone has any more sources on that, it would be appreciated
