boy RPS has apparently reached the bottom of the barrel and is now trying to scoop up shards of wood for articles, I suppose.

also… why is this article written by someone who has no experience with the actual game?

“Some guy called Zevlor, who, as a person that has never played the game before, I have never heard of (probably because no one’s horny for him)”

no one is stopping new IP from happening.

I’d love another Baldur’s gate in the future. I’d also love to see other worlds explored in other IPs as well.

why not both?

this article places blame entirely on Valve and mentions the real culprit only in passing.

this is not on Valve. this is on shitty payment processors being puritanical assholes and ruining everything for everyone.

this particular writer tends to have pretty awful takes in most of his articles at any rate.

or just play old versions of minecraft. i haven’t updated from 1.20.1 and I never plan to.

i also dabble in beta as well.

after the last update killed my ability to play Hades, I’m a bit skeptical.

its really good, actually. i only ever take a break from eso. never quit completely.

i got mine around 2022 so longer than 4 years? valve was all over the reparability angle.

if you’re going to be all about reparability and longevity of a product, I’d say a decade isn’t unreasonable. especially considering they’d pushed so hard against talks of “newer” model releases. and instead opted for the “this product should be fine for years and years to come”. especially in any media or marketing they had.

why are you pushing so hard against a company being held responsible for their own promises?

I played a ton of perfect dark 64. the multiplayer maps alone were just countless hours of fun.

I’d absolutely play this.

valve echoed off all walls that this would be a product they’d support for a great deal of time. they preached that the OLED getting released was the same and both products would be supported.

the idea was to not have a product that needed to be changed out for a new one but to maintain products sold for years and years to come.

granted that was before the AI losers started butchering the parts market, but its still a huge disappointment.

it really sucks for me. i was under the impression from valve that this would be a product they’d support for years to come. its why I wanted the damn thing in the first place.

my battery won’t last the year I don’t think. and now I’m screwed for replacements

understood! i used to encourage friends to get steam decks before the price increase. I’ll now be telling them to steer clear of valve products and look elsewhere instead.

this is about payment processors and valve is taking the blame.

its a porn game, man. its not some holy relic. with payment processors being weird the game is going to have some issues getting published.

to each their own.
