Nerd, programmer, writer. I like making things!


It’s not really surprising, they’re forcing so many slop tools into ue6 that they don’t want to ruin another engine’s reputation after ue5’s disaster.
They’re not interested in actually doing the thing that would earn positive reputation though, they’d rather hide it


People are really obsessed that something nefarious is going on with steam hardware purchases, but I’ve never seen any evidence. Just wild speculation


Wow that’s nuts, I wonder if the new version keeps it 😬 or if it’ll be full exclusive


I think some of it is just aging hardware too, a lot of problems are ironed out after launch by adding options and changing defaults.
I was mostly surprised to see the plan to port the game over at all! It does make for a good test of the new engine though


The workshop still works? I would’ve expected them to drop it when epic bought them


Worse performance is always something I’m happy to see in my competitive online games!


10 years? From what I can tell it was only wishlistable in 2024
Whoa, a Steam release! I guess epic didn’t want to repeat their exclusivity deal lol


One of my favorite telltale games, I agree with everything you said! The musical intros were my favorite, though I forgave some of the story because that mcguffin was the best mcguffin I’ve seen in a game 😆


Good question, I looked it up:
dafty Finn sim My Summer Cottage
dafty is a slang term used in the UK, particularly in Scotland and Northern England, to describe a person who acts silly or foolish.
The rest is because the premise is based on an earlier simulator game (by a different developer afaik) My Summer Car, which also takes place in Finland (though that is the 1990s)


It’s a bad headline, all the companies are estimating that much total


Yeah it’s veeeery flawed logic for steam. Most people don’t buy games unless they’re on sale, and the only way to make the sales attractive over a long time is to keep raising the discount


The page you posted said they started walking handmade cards in 1889, calling it a grift is laughable. And no need to be pedantic


Starting a company is a grift! Selling hand made products is a grift!


Lemmy is a bit of an echo chamber in that regard


Someone else is working on their own version called Kitten Space Agency!


Offering servers as a service would be great, so many PC only games that rely on steam’s multiplayer would be easier to port!


They definitely do a lot to earn that 30%, there’s a ton of dev tools for games. Workshop, leaderboards, multiplayer, etc
They’re making mojang and king report directly to her, so yeah they’re going after the casual market
Still delusional lol
