I can’t remember where, but I think I’ve seen that spun as a security benefit (probably facetiously). Simply because few people can access floppies anymore, especially 5 1/4". And there’s probably like 20 people with 8 inch floppy drives.
Edit: oops… There is literally a comment in this thread saying the very same.
Maybe now they can switch to the magneto-optical disks like in Mission: Impossible.
Try a strategy title with the pads, in particular something like Civ, where there is no time limit. Right pad works fantastic as a mouse replacement. Left pad is always kind of just there, though it can be useful as a radial menu if you use the configurator (albeit that makes more sense on Steam Controller since the pads are round).
Came here to say this. I use mine almost every day, specifically for titles that don’t have controller support.
While I do prefer a twin-stick like the DualSense for games with support, you cannot at all beat a Steam Controller for strategy gaming from the couch. I’m still on my first, but have two as backup (it was limit 2 when Valve offloaded them for $5 each).
Much love for these teachers. They are not paid nearly enough. I hate the corporate pizza party, but not the public school one.
Edit: I wonder if the difference in financial burden between a corporate pizza party and a public school one is a good metric
I am hopeful for this. Playing it on day one, I reported a garbage management bug on the official forum: only to be told it was “by design”, and yet still game-breaking.
The performance woes got all the press, but the game was fundamentally broken. It was nearly impossible to lose. Too many services for a small city? Here’s free “government subsidies” that you also can’t shut off when your city is successful. Don’t have garbage service? No problem, a neighboring city you have no control over is gonna handle your trash – for free.
I hope this is finally a step in the right direction, but I’ll never understand why it took a year to listen to day 1 issues. If the game had been released Early Access the response would have been better all around. Performance issues need to take second place: if the game isn’t fun, I don’t care how it performs.
Market correction at work. Good.
Income. Everything else can be proportional, but if income isn’t, we’re fucked.
And what about if you were a US Supreme Court justice under constant public scrutiny?
The controller, yes. The display itself, no, as far as I can tell.
That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.
Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?
I like this. It has a kind of military radio chic.
I post this in offering to the internet gods, that this may be the first step which leads to an actually meaningful change.

Good way to kill my interest in anything, at the moment.
They claimed it was so we could have bigger worlds
All such claims remind me of SimCity shooting itself in the foot. Frankly I’m more surprised that the industry still hasn’t learned, but I guess it is to be expected since everything is now run by MBAs.
Ah, sure. I never play online games so didn’t really consider that. Still, it means the player takes a chance with advanced access. That’s always the case, no? I know the industry treats it like a perk, but I’d argue that’s on the industry and not Valve’s policy.
It’s not actually about Early Access. It’s about Advanced Access – when you pre-purchase a game and get to play it before the official release as a perk.
Early Access games (=games where the dev knows it isn’t done and puts it in Early Access) already had the same refund limits as regular games.
Yeah. I think many didn’t. It sounds like a clear loophole to me, and I don’t think it’s unfair to count that playtime towards the regular total.
Now imagine if they had just waited and included the good stuff when the game released
