Why, yes. I do like that!

You have a plan for that?

Wouldn’t work. If SKG succeeds, it would be illegal shut down the game and thus invalidate all these permanent transactions (no matter how “micro” they are) people paid for.

I don’t think that would work. They could lock their games behind a monthly subscription. At that point you’re paying for temporary access with clearly defined end date and thus the game getting shut down later is no longer fraudulend. At that point you just have to not be a dumbass and rent a game instead of buying one.

I’ve always been saying “Fuck Spez”, but… not like this!

I bought some extra RAM about a year ago, not because I needed it but because it was cheap and I figured I might as well fill up the open slot.

Damn, I got lucky!

Do you have a problem with all the reshade presets for Skyrim you can find on Nexus Mods?

Search engines are way worse now than they were 20 years ago tho

My conscience is clean. It’s never been used!

Wow, really? Cause you never think of the other three as having their shit together.

Get swallowed alive by the Earth? I sink not!

Does anyone outside the US even use credit cards?

That’s not their budget, that’s how much money they’re worth on the stock market, in theory. The actual money Valve has to spend on VR (which pretty much means throw away, mind you) is a lot less.

At any rate they already said they’re not developing any accompanying title for the Frame.

As an aside, meta is spending way more then valve’s entire net worth on their reality labs every year.

Just saying I don’t have much hope for Valve to save VR gaming. They don’t have the resources, and they might not even have the intention, though the later is just speculation on my part and I really hope I’m wrong.

I’m concerned that Valve doesn’t really seem to be in it for VR, more of a “sit on your ass and play flat games on a virtual screen” thing. Maybe that’s the best way to get VR headsets in an average gamer’s home?

I could see barely-VR ports like NMS more common going forward, with fewer games made for VR specifically.

Also worth noting that meta funded a lot of studios even beyond their first party stuff. IIRC that includes games like Behemoth or Metro Awakening. That money drying up will definitely mean less VR games in total.

Ye canna change the laws of physics, Captin.

No, but you can write a bullshit article that has very little bearing on reality.

Goes quadruple for its title.

Nah, the other way around. Facebook account used to be a requirement years ago, but they dropped it pretty soon.

I would imagine not at all given that you don’t need a facebook account for Quest and the headset doesn’t count as social media.

It’s been two years and it’s still going, despite the name change, or, you know, the owner throwing a nazi salute on live television.

It doesn’t seem like the branding was as important as everybody seems to think, or any negative impact was offset by it staying on the news, good or bad, constantly.
