  • Really? I doubt that you searched well enough then. I really doubt that overwatch, a rather popular game, is somehow exempt from R34 or is my lack of room reading ability just missing the joke.

    Completely disregard everything, I'm a blind idiot.

  • Prime Video Is Officially Moving Away From Its Old Ad-Free Formula

  • Hmmm, yes, those shows, tempting, tempting.

    On the other hand there are rather easy means to get those in better quality from other sources and without ads.

    Just salty that even the best quality downloaded movie from a paid service is still visibly worse than the quality of the same movie from a pirated source.

  • I'm saying that inflammation cant be used as a good justification for increased prices when the profit has increased significantly.

    Especially if it's done by the biggest companies who are the main drivers of everything wrong with gaming.

  • A curious conversation with a coworker who enjoys her job. How many of you like your job?

  • I wouldn't say i enjoy or like it to a degree of liking a hobby, but the job suits me and has more benefits to my daily functioning than negatives, besides the paycheck. I do like the steady and stable routine work provides.I can listen to audiobooks without any issues and theres minimal interaction with others and the ones i do chat with are mostly friends, some of them already before working there.The physical and active nature of the job is decent as well, yes i might be physically more tired, but I've tried sitting still in front of a computer screen. That type of a work just drains me completely, which doesn't make sense as theres minimal movement. Half the time it's just struggling trying to stay awake.

    Biggest downside is probably the working schedule running in weekly rotating shifts.

  • How do you feel?

  • Yes, i was entertained for a while.

  • do you feel karma on reddit is the social media equivalent to social credit ?

  • No, those are just usless internet points.

  • DAE do this?

  • from the moment i understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • We shouldn't, that's the point. Most, probably all AAA companies should crash and burn.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • That's what im trying to tell. Just simply quit buying. It's that easy and the only thing a single individual can do. But for some reason that seem rather hard thing for people to do?

    Your sure that reply was meant for me?

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • Dude, really. Therer are uncountable numbers of good indy games way below 60. So it is possible to produce good games sven below that price point.

    What i want is AAA games to stop implementing predatory tactics to squeeze out as much cash from consumers as possible while making games even more expensive. Once they do that we can start discussing price again.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • As is you're right, I'm still not going to buy.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • And that's why the journalist who rote the article is actually right.

    We do deserve the AAA gaming market in it's current state, because we all think we're somehow special and our unique case can be an exception.

    Like the first person in the chain put it. We as consumers are getting fisted.

    And we deserve it, because we still keep on buying said goods, no matter what.

  • Windows 11 bloat proves too much for Microsoft's new 8GB Surface Laptop

  • So a perfect streaming platform to make use of the cloud computing that comes after the AI bubble collapses and bunch of data centers need to find new usage.

    Probably too cynical take.

  • DAE do this?

  • I hate sleep, it's weakness of the body, but i understand the importance of it and that with current technological limitations we can't eliminate it either. So begrudgingly have to accept this limitation of the body.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • I wouldn't really use 60$ as a low price, but that's beside the point.

    Your missing the trees for the forest. It's not the low price, but setting a line which one does not cross.

    Not having that line and constantly accepting every subsequent new mechanic to extract more profit from us has resulted in the current state of AAA gaming industry.

    As i said we can discuss where that line runs, 60$ is just my own personal line, but that line, not specifically price, should exist and should not be crossed. Id agree with the "no pre-orders" as well as games should be only bought after independent thrid party reviews have gone out. Just that this line doesn't fit into current context, this one fits better under a post of a releasing of a new highly anticipated game.

    Though where would you draw the line?

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • Are you aware of how much gaming has increased in popularity? Already this should cover the difference inflation makes over the years. When we add in profit form micro transactions and the only reason left to increase prices is greed.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • No, there most definitely should, there should be a line or set point for everything. A point from which onward one no longer accepts any further abuse.

    Yes sure we can have discussion on where that line stands with gaming, like "no preorders" or "no p2w", but there most definitely should be one or even multiple different ones and that should be upheld or else we do get current climate of AAA games riddled with mtx, psychological manipulation, getting more expensive yearly, no longer any long term guarantees either, while gameplay, story and performance quality dropping as well.

    Without a set point or line, corporations wil keep on pushing the boundaries every single year as we keep allowing it.

  • No need to apologize for ranting, rant on.

  • Former Valve writer says PlayStation killing physical discs is no conspiracy: "You, the consumer, have made your choice, and the choice is for digital"

  • Yeah, but it suffices as a line in the sand. We could probably use horse armor as well, but that's even more arbitrary and there are few publisher who have managed to keep mtx based market under control and run a free successful game for years, ex POE.
