Dude there’s like, maybe twenty real games in that pile. Most of which I wouldn’t want to play on my steam deck anyways, not that I’ve ever wanted to play a battlefield game, but I sure don’t want to try and aim with a controller.

Youtube itself is the reason everybody uses these headlines. If they don’t title their videos like a 4 year old, you don’t see it. Simple.

Sorry that the developers don’t cater to making life easier for people that haven’t bought their game lmao what an entitled take

I think by shitty they mean ineffective, not poor manners.

I’m not disagreeing, but can anyone really be surprised? IP theft is Chinese policy 101.

It’s not that they can’t still be profit driven, it’s that they can’t be sued by investors for not being ruthlessly profit driven. Private just means that they have the choice at all

Ah yes, how greedy of a company, to checks notes stop you from telling their online distribution service that you own something you don’t.

Pirate all you want, live how you want. But valve is a company, they do sorta have to follow those pesky laws and regulations.

It’s saying that and it’s saying they have no concept of the dangers of wildlife. But everyone takes addressing the latter as ignoring the former, when they’re two separate conversations only combined by the dumb analogy.

Polar bears will in fact just kill you and eat you. Grizzlies, very likely to be territorial. Black bears are the most “cowardly”, but all three will fuck you up to protect their young, hence why the season matters.

I haven’t exactly done the math on relative bear populations to tell you if your odds are better with a random bear or a random man, but it doesn’t matter, you wouldn’t consider any of my statements valid even if I wrote a whole ass thesis.

Absolutely depends on proximity, and probably how close we are to (bear) mating season. And type of bear, for that matter. If we’re including all men with no restrictions, it’s only fair to include all bears too, right?

Why would they design it to be any better if you’re still willing to pay for it?

If only there were people desperate for a better life here, alive now, perhaps in a neighboring country or even entire other continent bordering the states.

The epic games store user experience is awful. Exclusives are awful. I have zero reason to ever use it except for if I’d been taking advantage of the countless free games they’ve been giving away.

Steam offers a service, hosting downloads and all the backend for friends/multiplayer connectivity/etc isn’t free. If you’re big enough to not need that(minecraft), good for you! Otherwise, it’s clearly difficult to make a launcher/game platform that doesn’t suck ass(uplay/origin/etc) - sorry that steam is just better than any alternative right now.

It’s a lot more likely a US citizen was raised in/has family in a small Canadian town though.

My reddit account has just shy of 100k comment karma and less than 2k link karma, and I still got the message.

I marked it as spam for “unsolicited messaging” lmao

Mind explaining to me why a vending machine needs to know the demographics of its users?

? Economic game theory is “how do you maximize your profits while understanding everybody else is also trying to maximize their profits and their strategies have an effect on how well yours works”. Game theory is used in everything from economics to traffic to understand individual strategies in different environments. It’s a weirdly specific cog in the orphan crushing machine to take issue with

We’re just ignoring that a key part of taiwanese defense planning is self destructing the chip plants in the event of an invasion?

Wizard with a gun is fun and all, but praising blessed ammunition tickles a different set of fancies.

I think it’s just a pun? I recognized the name but that’s about the depth of my knowledge.
