8 player PC games

Tabletop Simulator is always my go to for big group local co-op (I believe it supports up to 10 players.) Pico Park 2 might be more akin to what you're looking for.

You can also check co-op.gg and filter by storefront, #of players, local, online, etc to see what results they give you! Just double check the game's individual chart to make sure the local co-op limit.

Buying new trends is a choice

Everyone about that GTAVI life while I'm in the Fire Emblem and Yakuza mines trying to make a dent in the 50 million games each of those series have, because every time I finish one they release three more 🫩

Japan...please...stop...I beg you. I feel as overworked as the devs working for you.

I love a good AA fangame, thanks for the link! I watched the opening and got to the court, I'm ready to defend Starling with my life. I'll sit down and play through it when I have a bit of time. You guys did pretty good emulating the vibes tbh.

Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything

While Steam isn't "doing nothing", I do think 30% cut of sales for the first $10M is a lot especially for indie and single developers that will never reach this target, and the larger/more known the publisher the easier it will be for them to hit the lesser % of sales tiers (reduced to 20% after $50M, but I can't remember the in-between tiers atm).

Itch.io, by comparison, takes 10% of sales as a default, but publishers can set it to whatever. Indie devs really should look more to using that as their store if they're cash strapped, and people should really get their indies off of there if possible.

Again, I don't disagree with you regarding Steam sometimes getting way too gassed up by gamers, and not having any incentive to change because of it. That's because the bar is so fucking low for the industry as a whole.

But I wouldn't call it "rent seeking". They make deals with publishers to have games come to PC instead of being locked into console exclusives, they are making consumer friendly hardware, they are pushing the Linux gaming sphere, and they have actual customer service for their storefront. All of this should be standard in the gaming sphere, but because it isn't, Valve and Gabe are seen as gods.

No, they dumped them and got much nicer and less judgemental people in their lives. Sucks that you won't experience that type of growth anytime soon if your replies are anything to go by.

Good luck with being a victim or whatever you're trying.

The fact that this is a real image is infuriating

You know what the worst part of this is? This run of western fascism doesn't even have the aesthetics to make it palatable. That "seig heil" was so fucking uncoordinated it made the Australian break dancing lady look like a prima ballerina. Everyone is dressed like they bought clothes from the bargain bin at Ross. The decorations are giving mid-budget state fair.

We're gonna be ethnically cleansed by old, poorly dressed, unatheltic losers 😭
