Wasn’t Rockstars last demo for gta2 back in 99?

This is exactly what Remedy’s multiplayer Control game should have been lmao.

They said movement and exploration of gw2 dialed up to 11 with the larger more open skill system of gw1 but it’s action combat. Basically sounds like they’re combining the best parts of both games and then leaning into the newer action MMO style combat instead of tabclicker.

Same with gw2 and wow but we’re talking 21, 16, and 14 year old games here lol, every “major” new MMO since those 3 has died… it’s not exactly inaccurate to call the genre dead.

Shout-out the return of Gloria Victis next week too, best pvp MMO I’ve ever played, the sieges are insane.

They already stated they will continue simultaneous development of all 3 games. Plus Anet genre hops each game, 3 is going to be more action adventure, so no reason to stop playing 1 or 2 even after 3 hits it’s stride.

Damn look at you being every bit as ignorant and arrogant as the American average. I’m impressed.

Complaining about a billionaire sipping drinks on a yacht while screaming and crying to defend the billionaire CEOs at the publishing companies that have shit all over every developer and consumer in the industry is certainly an interesting position.

Customers flock to valve because it’s more than a storefront. It eliminates the needs for everything else, no need for discord, forums, lfg pages, recording software, controller mapping software, 3rd party mod hosting, mod managers, etc etc etc. look at how much further Valve has pushed Linux and Linux support in gaming than anyone imagined possible. Look at their return policy, absolutely no other storefront is that consumer friendly.

30% is industry standard, get mad at the storefronts that are just storefronts as well as steam or you’re just sounding like Tim Sweeney on another unhinged nepo baby rant.

30% is industry standard, everybody but Epic charges that and also Steam is not just a flat 30% many devs and pubs pay less.

I agree 30% is high for every storefront besides Steam and and arguably GoG. The sheer range of services and support for both players and devs is exponentially above literally everything else, you are not just paying for a storefront with steam like you are literally everywhere else.

As for GoG, I’ll let them slide on 30% because of how much effort and resources they put into preservation as well as their “customer is the administrator of their purchases” attitude.

Steam quite literally provides almost everything you could ever need too, it’s so much more than a storefront. It’s genuinely mind blowing just how many services steam offers, I don’t think anybody, including valve employees knows about every function and service it offers tbh.

Bigger the fupa, tastier the chalupa

None of what you said was a new thing or what actually pushed Blizz/Msoft to action. It was the unreal engine port that did it.

Valve doesn’t have 50+ years of hardware experience though. Sony, Nintendo, and Msoft can all swing their big dicks all over that industry and get whatever the fuck they want, Valve cannot.

Valve can and does strongarm the software side all the time, the gaming industry would have died instead of exponentially surpassing the film industry if it weren’t for Valve setting strong precedents.

And finally how in the fuck are you blaming AI at the same time that you are trying to defend Sony? The company that’s adding AI to PLAY THE FUCKING GAME FOR YOU?

White guy in the US here, I’m obsessed with Suriname. Most people I mention it to don’t even know it exists, and like half of them will still walk away from the conversation thinking I’m talking about either Africa or Asia even after I explicitly mention the continent and population.

There are a few god games for VR like Townsmen and Deism.

Damn you, now I want to play Halo too! I guess I’ll finally try out the VR mod.

The Republicans literally banned the phrase “clean water” shut the fuck up.

The Star Wars mods for this are awesome, I think they usually only do pve though.

Swatting becoming normalized is the logical conclusion to a “justice” system that offers immunity to trigger happy officers with practically 0 training or oversight.
