All these replies are extremely indicative of just how utterly ridiculous the Fediverse can be. It almost makes me want to leave again but no: this network needs opposing opinions from its “acceptable” narrative. It’s bad enough that the Fediverse is already an echo chamber as it is.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I know it can be worse. I just think it could also be better.

I love Steam but I’ve always felt like the refund policy was a bit of a joke. I feel like the time limit should be flexible, being a bit longer for games that have long tutorials or a bunch of intro cutscenes.

That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.

I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.

EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.

Try Stellaris. It’s similar gameplay, but it’s realtime and the space battles you can get yourself into can be truly epic.

With the exception of chat, try Old School RuneScape. Good game for passive gameplay as well as more intensive/focused gameplay.

I’d say a reasonable amount of this is due to how many of them shove their own ideologies into their reporting, with not even a slight attempt to remain objective or neutral.

Not in every game. Some games make it reasonably fair, such as Elder Scrolls Online which makes it possible to obtain the lootbox items in other ways.

And this is exactly why Ubisoft is dying. Good riddance.

No, if anything, we need to boycott games with battle passes. I’m not a fan of lootboxes but I’d take them any day over a battle pass. Don’t pressure me to play specific ways, don’t exploit FOMO to try to get me to grind or spend money. I find that a LOT more predatory than lootboxes, at least in games where they’re optional.

Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.

Both. The future isn’t in consoles, it’s in console-like PCs. Just wait until Valve drops the Fremont, I believe it’ll change absolutely everything.

I hope they’re prepared to have a fraction of the success they would have if they didn’t continue the absurd concept of console exclusivity.

I’m not talking about Lemmy. I’m talking about literally every community I’ve looked. Aside from fanboys being fanboys, the reaction has been nothing but outrage.

Yep! When you open the Steam menu, you can access a full-featured desktop mode. It makes the device virtually limitless outside of the software issues you mentioned. And I agree entirely that it’s ridiculous to see these companies ignoring Linux the way they do.

Hopefully you enjoy your second try of SteamOS!

The problem is that a company can only push their greed so far before they start losing people. Up until now, most of the Nintendo hate came from their anti-emulation crusade. Now, it seems like everyone and their brother is talking about just how absurd the entirety of this launch is.
