Yeah for external DRM, but if a game has Steam DRM, then there’s no official label or warning.

For example, Witcher 3 is DRM-free on Steam, but there’s nothing (AFAIK) on the Steam page saying that.

Epic Games is a scumbag company :)

Well the new owner, was one of the original founders.

As long as games stop using shitty Epic Online Services, I’ll take GOG’s.

Steam don’t disclose it, there’s no tag or label on the store page. Which is fucking shitty, either oversight or business decision. So you would never know unless you tried launching the executable yourself, looked it up online or the game was marketed that way.

But yeah, with GOG, you just instantly know.

Steam does allow DRM-free games, it’s up to whoever is publishing the game to the platform.
GOG just currently requires it.

Most of the games on GOG are also DRM-free on Steam.

So it’s really just looking at prices and other features that is the defining factor. Considering Steam’s Linux support, GOG is off the table for me.

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.

I find it clunky. There’s a forced default dashboard for some reason. I cant limit control of devices/integrations for other users.

I havent tried any others, Home Assistant does the job and is well supported, its just lacking in some areas.

Home Assistant is one of them that you think will do the simple task you want it to, but despite its large set of features, it misses the basic ones. The dashboard system is awful, it could be so simple.

The fucking ai degenerates in there ahaha, fuck off the lot of you.

Dune movies

Yeah, the rest I can understand, Arc Raiders is anything but innovative.

There’s differences in playthroughs, if you choose, but it is linear. The game ultimately railroads you to the same endings.

Steam Awards is a popularity contest.

Get a Steam Deck? You can hook it up like a PC, use it sat around. Though its not a powerhouse. Wait and see how the Steam Machine fairs? There’s still a good second hand market for parts too.

Its a shitty time at the moment with scumbag companies and AI, so consumers are completely fucked.

Also: Fuck subscriptions.
Plus the game pass versions of games are complete dogshit compared to the Steam versions most of the time.

An article about annoying pop-ups immediately prompts you with a pop-up. Get the fuck outta here.

Websites did it to themselves by abusing cookies to track users. Instead of consent popups though, the EU should have just blanket banned tracking in general.
