I used dsub and subsonic forever and loved them. Subsonic got to be frustrating because it was a subscription and then stopped getting any updates. I switched to Plex and never looked back.

You’re being pedantic, but I’m sure you understand the point.

Have you even looked at the computer electronics business? Or lived a few decades? Otherwise how can you have no experience of a company deciding your use of a product doesn’t meet THEIR expectations and so they invalidate your warranty claim? Heck, look at what Intel is doing right now with its 13 and 14 series chips.

Legality is nothing without enforcement, and there’s like none of that for warranties in the US, and even less for global companies with overseas HQs.

I saw a lot of negative comments in a YouTube thread. I only played the OG once, so perhaps it’s not sacred enough to me, but what I saw looked good.

P.s. when I completed my first playthrough, it was in 2021. My experience is that the original is not as good, now—compared to modern games and storytelling—than rose-colored glasses might suggest.

I had no trouble recognizing him.

Technical people can struggle when a choice isn’t a zero or a one.

I mean, I interpreted that as acknowledgement that Lemmy is still 1% the size of Reddit, for example.

I tried several and most did not play well with the Steam Deck. Serum and the car survival game were the bigger disappointments, there; really wanted to try them.

I’m awake you can download proton hacks to make them work, but that’s not the point, imo .

I’m currently totally hooked on Tiny Rogues.

More walking simulator less actual gaming.

See… I think it’s kind of a bad game for all the same reasons.

I think I bounce pretty hard off the stated intent to make the player feel the suffering of living through war. I’m not going to play a game that intentionally sets me up to fail.

… I’m shocked. I thought all development on subsonic had dried up. I used it and dsub for literal years, but switched to Plex after it seemed I was paying for nothing. :(

I also like LoseIt!, but somehow I also ended up paying for it, too. $20/yr. I don’t like the free version as much

Hmm. Data is only for 1/1/23 though 12/15/23. The last 15 days of the year aren’t significant enough to change the outcome? Somehow, I’d think otherwise. For example, I spent $120 at the start of the winter sale, but nothing in Oct-Nov.

Uncertain software support is why I picked a P8p over that device, even when I prefer it’s hardware over the P8p.

I heard a reliable rumor that the Asus handheld was supposed to be essentially that, but Microsoft dropped the ball with the OS support

These are true criticisms, but I’m not sure if they’re fair. To the best of my recollection, Steam had none of those things in 2008, either, about the time they were the age of the EGS, now.

You could say they should (be able to) compete on the merits alone, without free games or paid exclusivity, but that argument wouldn’t reflect reality: you need a hefty carrot to lure people away from their comfort zone.

Dave the Diver has lost me at about 8-10 hours. I detest doing chores for underwater people.

The game is entirely too wide and too shallow: it has too much in it but very little depth. Kind of ironic.

It’s believable. If 25% of the warrants they receive are for location data, there is a shed load of money to be saved by simply not storing it.

Probably simple math, whether or not the stored location data is more valuable than the cost of legal compliance.

Bad take.

I’ll remind you that Steam needs SOME competition in order to actually get better, and I can’t think of anyone else able to do it (Microsoft has kinda already tried and failed). Remember when Steam suddenly addressed long-standing issues with the client and storefront a couple years ago? That was because the EGS appeared.

I’ll also remind young folks that the Internet was extremely negative regarding steam when it was new. Yes, I’ve been on Steam for 20+ years.

Tldr: EGS is fine. Relax.
