If you play games with FSR3 (which is commonly used on consoles) then you know what’s being shown on those screens even when resized into a post stamp. FSR3 dithers and smudges this kind of detail terribly and it’s much worse when seen in motion. There are some examples that are even worse:

What did you put in? I wrote an essay on how inevitable praise of Dark Souls also applies to Metroid but then deleted it as too pretentious even for BAFTA.


Price was reduced but the value remained the same. Sorry about being pedantic but it’s a pet peeve of mine. I was under the impression that it was priced competitively for what it was but held down by being locked to PS5 (which is no longer true but the experience on PC is bad).

Streamers can host it themselves. From what I hear around Lemmy hosting and streaming video is so cheap it can be done without money from ads

Valve building their own Android for games is not beneficial to Linux. I don’t know how many times do you guys need to be surprised. > If publishers felt they were being ripped off, they could go elsewhere They must be perfectly happy with those 30% then! It’s not that gamers sit out any non-Steam exclusive. I’m not going to argue any further because it’s pointless. I wanted you to learn on somebody else’s mistakes but you’re very set on repeating them yourself before that.

Valve sets their cut at 30%. Would it be this high if Valve had competition? Would games cost the same if the cut was 10%? Why is it so high in the first place? What’s being offered in return?

Alan Wake 2 is a great example because it’s a game with both critical and popular acclaim that will be remembered years from now. Despite this, people decided to ignore it - they couldn’t be bothered with alternatives. Most of you claim those games on EGS so you don’t even have to make an account. This means that the platform now has such a high impact on what you consume that you’re going to skip on one of the best games of the year even though all that stops you is that it’s not in Steam. That’s a terrifying amount of power that people aren’t bothered by even though we’re talking about company that’s smug about selling gambling to children.

I sell games, sir, because I’m not made out of money. I buy digital too but it’s impossible with most AAA titles these days. I mean, I’d say it was your money to spend how you like, but Steam monopoly means games are more expensive than they need to be and you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

Valve has an arguably better platform but is more expensive and doesn’t have some exclusives. That would be a great opportunity for a competitor yet nobody broke through despite pouring billions in. Weird, huh?

And Valve gets a cut in all of those scenarios.

How popular is this other stuff compared to Steam? Existence of alternative doesn’t mean there’s no monopoly.

Private company is not a subject to many regulations and duties that a public company has to adhere to, mostly on external reporting. How much do you know about Valve? What’s their profit for 2023?

Yes, it’s even less transparent and accountable.
