Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow
Reply in thread
From a Steam review:
The game was advertised as having 40 new levels, which at first glance is sounds engaging and interesting, until you find out most of those levels are programmer/beta/alpha stages. It's not entirely new content, but rather going through iterations until you arrive at the level as it is today. While interesting, it does feel disingenuous to advertise this as a new level. When I hear braid has a new level, I think "There's one more puzzle piece", but that's not the case. You are not rewarded with anything in game, but instead receive some occasionally insightful commentary. In total, there are around 14 actual, new puzzles.

If somebody didn't realize it was almost certainly going to run poorly the second it was revealed to use UE5, I wouldn't even know what to say to them.

Valve faces a £656 million lawsuit in the UK for 'overcharging 14 million PC gamers'
As a consumer, I don't care about this. Even if Valve's cut were lower, the prices would remain the same. I don't get a cheaper game, the publisher just gets a higher cut, so it doesn't directly benefit me.

Louis Rossmann's response to harsh criticism of "Stop Killing Games" from Thor of @PirateSoftware
Reply in thread
The potential legislation would be specific to the EU, but that doesn't really matter; this market is large enough that it would directly affect other markets. Either the games are patched for all territories or others will make the EU-specific build available. One option generates positive press, the other negative, and any difference in cost would be negligible.
There's also the argument of preserving art.

Can't say that I've ever had this issue. Usually mod authors will tell you where to install them, or package the files in a folder structure such that there is no thinking involved.

Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy
I've been pretty consistently buying Nintendo consoles, but I'm not buying this one. Not just because of this, but I challenge these assholes to brick the device I end up playing their games on.

I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.

Introducing Steam Families

I really doubt they've got an IP lock in place; just set up a Family and invite your siblings and in-laws.
Edit: tried it with a buddy, and it is in fact IP locked; he was unable to join until I set up a VPN for him to connect through. After initial setup, you don't need the same IP address.

Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs

I played it, and what sticks in my mind isn't bugs, but poor writing and uninteresting gameplay. I think it's middling at best and a terrible entry in the series.

Swen Vincke was worried that the 100-hour Baldur's Gate 3 would be too short, which is why Larian made a ton of extra areas they wound up cutting
Reply in thread
Counterpoint: 100 hours is not too much, but it could be too much for you. That's fine, it's very obvious from the type of game it is that it's probably going to be 50+ hours long, and if you're not playing right at release, you can check Howlongtobeat. I don't think playing a game for two months is a mark against it, as long as I like the game.
