If there’s not riots from what is already happening in the US, then there definitely won’t be from a video game being banned.

That’s a very out of touch take.

It’s gonna be the real name thing, honestly. But I do feel GTA VI is going to be a lot more “censored” than the previous titles, I hope not.

yah
see: quake, team fortress, overwatch

3rd person is for selling skins.

It would, at least with the initial cast. I don’t know if they have added any movement creep kind of stuff since.

Overwatch had hyper mobile characters and worked well, even with its low FOV (it really needed higher FOV).

I’d like to try it in first person. Third person fucking sucks for shooters.

Should be less of a requirement in Divinity anyway. D&D isnt suited to be a video game, it was made for table top. I “save scummed” a lot lot less in DOS2.

The random game over screens sucked too, its like why even have the dialogue option if you are just going to be hit with game over and no other cutscenes.

Also you had to quick save a lot because of all the bugs and inconsistencies.

Yeah, it’s ridiculous now. I think it was a combination of trying to give less skilled players more of a chance and trying to give any controller user a chance versus keyboard and mouse, with the crossplay craze. Ended up being a disaster, it’s hard to take it away too, because people are used to it.

Aim assist just lowers the sensitivity when you are aiming on an enemy. Games now have auto aim (called aim assist for some reason) that aim for you, snap on and follow the player around without even giving more input.

Because using tricks is just much better right now. Realistic reflections and lighting can also have negative effects on the overall look of a game. It can make it look uncanny.

Dont pull back the curtain!

There’s no bugs in BG3, silly.

Stay focused on raster performance please! Don’t waste time with all this ML shit!

That’s the least of it’s problems.

Also, Valve with every other company should already have been ordered to stop operating in Russia by their respective countries.

You are arguing something different. We all agree billionaires shouldn’t exist. You don’t need to try to topic flip to try and let us know. This was simply a discussion about the term monopoly and it’s definition.

I never mentioned Amazon, but it’s really no comparison, even the FTC in the USA has filed suits against them for monopolistic and illegal behaviour.

Ive never seen an advert for Steam myself, outside of on their own platform or a video on their own YouTube channel. They sell largely through word of mouth. I suppose recently they offered journalists to visit their HQ to show off their new hardware.

No, Google pays off other browsers to use Google as the default search engine, among many other actual monopolistic practices. Steam does none of that and simply provides a product.

Technically Steam is not a monopoly, but the way people commonly use the term these days is as simple as “majority market share”.

Technically Steam isn’t a monopoly by actual definition.

What you, and others often mean with the term, is that they hold a majority market position.

This is the key point people are missing.

Valve arent paying for exclusives or anything, they are just delivering a far better product than anyone else. GOG has it’s DRM-free market, but outside of that, there’s nothing close. Even if Epic Games had feature parity, fuck that company.
