At least it’s not the other way around.
Casual Deck owner here. Arch Linux is my answer.
The original argument compares windows to iOS, but gets weaker when comparing windows to macOS, which is still pretty corralled, but more or less open.
I asked about Xbox because Microsoft doesn’t sell a phone, and Xbox is an example of a Microsoft-run closed ecosystem. So I was curious about how their closed ecosystems compared.
If Microsoft sold a phone, I wonder if it would actually be more open like windows and Mac, or closed like their own XBox and the iPhone.
Yeah I wasn’t entirely familiar and it’s not anything I got upset over (again, my fault). It’s just weird because they know I never installed or played it until I asked for the refund, and by nature of software, 14 days doesn’t mean I could have broken or destroyed it or something.
The game was the Grandia HD Remasters. It didn’t even occur to me to scrutinize compatibility on Deck when I bought it because it’s just a 2D JRPG from the PS1 era that supposed had been modernized.
I was denied a refund for a broken game on Steam Deck just last winter. I had never played or even installed it, but I had purchased it and let it sit in my backlog too long before trying.
By comparison, I can’t recall a single time I’ve been denied a refund request from the iPhone App Store. They’ve also never sold me software that couldn’t run on the hardware they also sold me.
I understand how it’s my fault according to steam’s ToS, but it still doesn’t seem right to me.
Microsoft does with their Xbox, though. Don’t they?
Broadcasting spoilers to an audience tuned in to an unscripted live stream play of an unreleased game on the Internet. I don’t get the impression spoilers were much of a concern in the first place.
He literally could have contributed to lost sales from potential buyers watching the games before they were released.
By allowing consumers to be better informed of what they might have otherwise purchased?
I just watched a YouTube video that taught you how to cheese the combat system by winning a clinch then poking the face with a sword or bashing the head with a mace. KCD2 has kind of forced me to switch it up a bit, which I appreciate.
I have no interest in a hardcore mode though.
My friend is looking to pick one up after that fromsoft game comes out. I might grab one then as well so we can play together, but I’m more in it for Metroid and whatever the Zelda team cooks up.
Yeah I stopped impulse buying games from sales since then. I have plenty to play already, and I’d rather not risk buying something stupidly now that I won’t have the means to refund by the time I get around to playing it, should it not work right for any reason.
