Haven’t played HFW yet so I can’t really compare, it is on my wishlist though. That said I didn’t find GoW to be that great. It’s a significant departure from the style of earlier games. It feels more like a different game that was reskinned to be GoW. If you haven’t played the originals maybe that isn’t a factor.
Cars that run on old oil are basically just diesel engines. It’s also pretty easy to get a vehicle with high fuel efficiency, it’s really hard to get one that also meets emission standards and doesn’t kill you in a crash.
They may very well be thinking “steam says this works for everything I own” though, the OS likely isn’t relevant if it still has a browser.
It’s pc first, so that makes sense.
The steam deck is likely the target machine at that price.
I think the goal is providing an alternate path for people migrating from windows 10 as much as it is a living room pc.
One of my grandparents had 7, I even took them to college
It’s somewhat common in Europe for full citizenship to require approval from citizens who know you.
I’d like to disclose my disability from my time in federal prison.
A product sold at a loss to attract customers who hopefully buy other products with higher margins that result in a net profit for the retailer.
I think comparing it to a console is the wrong mindset. It’s a computer first that can also be a console. It’s also a pre built Linux based computer you can have a higher degree of confidence that things just work even after updates. It’s a legitimate competitor for a new windows PC as much as it is a console competitor.
The big difference is the compatibility is actually there now. Also, controller support is a lot more common for PC games now.
Most criticism of valve on Lemmy reads like blatant shilling.
This list is a bit old so many games aren’t supported on the latest android versions, but there are no micro transactions for any game on it. https://nobsgames.stavros.io/android/
You deep throat that thing like God intended.
That would require real ownership which is unlikely to ever happen. Company failures more likely just means loss of any library from them.
There’s no way a game that people have been waiting over a decade for is ever going to live up to the hype.
Honestly 20 different companies would probably suck for the consumer. That’s 20 different storefronts to compare, 20 different libraries to manage, potentially 20 different sets of logins, 20 sources of data breaches. It’s unlikely they would adopt an open standard to allow a shared library. Maybe you have a 21st company that makes a product like heroic launcher. You’d likely run into regionality issues where a particular store is unavailable, so you may not be able to play purchased games. You would have all sorts of odd exclusive dlc and pre order bonuses so a cosmetic item you like could be locked to a store you haven’t used. Multiplayer likely wouldn’t be global cross play between all companies, you likely get some set of 20 companies working together for multiplayer. Some games may develop a good scene available to a single store, requiring a game to be repurchased. Exclusives or timed exclusives would be annoying to track, as each store would likely have different catalogs.
That’s far to generous to other companies, they were far more like the WiiU.
The community name is asperational, maybe someday it will be reality.
