The wolfire games lawsuit is so damn cringe.

No company is your friend, but there's a reason Steam is number 1. The reinvestment in the platform and breadth of features steam has is unrivaled.

Epic has been trying for nearly a decade now and their store doesn't even have 1/4 the features of steam.

I love GoG though. For me they offer something steam can't, installers for my games.

I like Plasma.

I know, real brave take

The past month that I've spent using Fedora with a 5070ti and playing games like Arc Raiders and KCD 2 has genuinely been the most stable my computer has been in about a decade.

Also a lot of my smaller issues like USB and Conrroller disconnects disappeared completely.

I thought I was going crazy.

Windows is awful garbage.

It's crazy how they act like no one else could run a server for a live service game.

We used to fucking buy and rent servers to game on our own private servers.

Its wild how this disappeared and all server structure just got consolidated into shit like AWS and Azure.

Steam has so many more features than any other platform.

First to market or not, that's why steam is number one.

None of its competitors offer the community, market, discussion boards, rating system, friend system functionality and overall reliability that steam does.

It has competition, just not on PC.

Epic is atrociously bad. From hampering system performance to a total lack of any of the above features, using epic sucks.

The Xbox app is somehow seemongly always broken despite literally being developed by the platform holders and with a shit load of cash behind it.

I don't love the idea of a steam monopoly but you gotta also give them their flowers, it's a fantastic storefront, arguably the best when considering all gaming platforms that exist even outside of PC.

Listing previous work is pretty standard when getting a job, also shows his prior qualifications which I think we're entitled to know.

-Cable is insanity. It's companies are corrupt and awful.

-Watching sports is a maze of what channel/TV package/subscription service did I need again?

-Far fewer means of owning the media today means they can jack up the price as much as they want. Fuck that.

Wow $175?

That's pretty good in today's world lol

Brother I already buy things on GoG lol.

Steam is great and all but ownership is far more important to me personally

The whole "ITS A LIVE SERVICE IT CANT JUST BECOME SINGLE PLAYER" argument fundamentally misses every single easy point about community hosted servers.

It's the most prevalent, and also most stupid argument I keep seeing pop up.

Talk about putting part of your life's work completely out to pasture.

I give it a year. What a shame.

Unreal how gullible republican voters can be despite having information readily available

This reminded me in the best way of reading magazines back in the day.

The only thing missing is a sweet demo disc

I mean having devs turn over the games to players after they cease development is not crazy at all.

Live service games can still absolutely be playable once development has ceased.

Anyone can run a server.

Stop killing games is a no brainer initiative

The other competitors are kinda shit.

GoG is dope for giving install files and being DRM free.

But acting like steam isn't legitimately the best platform by a country mile is crazy.

The occasional cold shower is amazing!

I have zero idea about the health benefits but after taking an ice cold morning shower, I feel like I can take on anything after getting past that lol.

I mean there's still no user review system lol.

That is storefront 101 and they still don't have it.

Congratulations for not using the other systems they have I guess?

Many of steams users engage at least a little with a lot of what steam offers.

Hell steam has integrated VR support, steam link for remote play, and fantastic 2FA account protection.

Epic is way behind

For me it was about 5 years ago, I'm over 30, realizing that my parents and extended family lied to me about watermelon seeds growing in your stomach.

It was just so ingrained in me as a child that it took more than 20 years for me to question it.

Watermelon is so much easier to eat now.

If you're reading this comment, I posted it from proton vpn

Time to check back in.

Arma 3 provided so many hours of pure fun through the 2010s.

I miss that game.
