I've definitely noticed the results suck ass, but this is a nice breakdown.

Valve is on arch.

This isn't steamOS, just customers using Ubuntu.

Because even though it's obviously perfect legal, getting harassed by corporations over a hobby project is a pain in the ass.

He makes good games. Polished ones, too.

Even MGS5, which was pretty clearly pushed out before he wanted it to be and broke him up with Konami, was extremely technically sound, just not filled out as much as it should have been.

Yeah, this is obnoxious.

It's also truly terrible at being persuasive.

Seems like an overstated title when the content is "government employees" like it is 99% of the rest of the time this headline gets written.

Your morals wouldn't be changing.

Your behavior would.

A. It's not $600.

B. Games on PC are far less than used discs are.

C. Gamepass is not and does not in any way resemble a budget option. The budget option is owning games so you don't routinely have new expenses to be able to play games all. Renting is and always has been an obscenely expensive way to play games.

No.

Solving the same problem isn't what plagiarism is.

And the problems are similar at best.

I'm guessing with the API dead it's the only way to find content on Reddit anymore, too. I can't imagine the Reddit searches that worked weren't using the API, and Reddit's search is a dumpster fire.

Taking away advertised features that literally one single person bought your game for is unacceptable.

I still won't buy stuff there, but this is a far better way to make a storefront interesting than Epic. Instead of locking everything behind exclusive deals to try to force people to use your platform, they're adding actual meaningful benefits to using their storefront. Cross ownership is nice. Game pass is nice. That's how you provide competition.
