It was a sniper from a long distance

Honestly I have to disagree. I don’t think people care so much if their games truly belong to them. I think a lot of people don’t really go back and play games they’ve already beaten very often. I really think it all comes down to confidence in the companies that make the games. Steam is objectively shitty but gamers still love it even if it going down means that they lose access to their games. It is the de facto game launcher on PCs because valve has a track record of treating their customers well. Everyone has confidence in valve, and by extension steam.

Keep in mind the video says that people are playing games that are on average 7 years old, and if we look at gaming around 2017, we still see gaming with battle passes, microtransactions, streaming, and all other anti-consumer behavior from devs. This really has nothing to do with emulated retro games, and if you consider the average, someone playing a game from 30 years ago Is being balanced out by four people. Playing games released one year ago.

Fully agree on capitalism destroying art and media though, absolutely true.

Methinks some people in this comment section didn’t watch the video before commenting…

Neither did I, so here’s my opinion: I think a loss of confidence is the real issue. Why buy a new game when you don’t know if it’ll be a buggy mess on launch and those old games are available to play right now.

Look at sales for games legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, where player know they will get a polished experience from day 1. It cost $70 dollars, was pirated before release, and is still a top 10 selling game on the switch despite releasing so late in the switch’s life.

Another reason is no more hype. They cancelled E3. Nintendo Power is gone. I only go on games radar for headphones reviews. I hear about most games from streamers nowadays, and then I’m just watching the full gameplay. No hype means no pressure to play early means that game releases go by and people just wait until a sale. Honestly not really a problem for the consumer but I do think it’s one of the reasons.

That’s a very offensive term for Simpson-Americans. JK, A little bit of googling didn’t show any issues, doesn’t look like there’s a lot of consensus somewhere the word comes from, but it might be from birds or because apparently Judas was often painted using yellow colors. It’s British slang that doesn’t make any sense.

I just need Clark Kent to awkwardly eat bullets so no realizes he’s super man

What if Biden doesn’t actually have COVID, and he just realized he can’t win after the Trump shooting and decided to fuck off to Delaware and make the other Democrats deal with it

Mark Kelly is probably the smartest choice

This is the most Joever I’ve seen yet

Honestly, if Harris is to take his place as the Dems nominee, they need to get her acting as president (at least in a de facto sense) as soon as possible to try to keep the incombant bump

I’m pretty darn sure

While men don’t have as much choice as women in terms in terms of acceptable clothing, but knowing fashion will open your options tremendously. On top of that, confidence is 75% of looking good.

This is the most “I can’t run for president” thing I’ve ever seen. Watch him not drop out

C’mon Joey B you can’t go out like that. If you’re gonna die as a consequence of your own policy failure, let netanyahu put you in a choke hold or something

I have remained relatively stoic when reading about the genocide just to be able to keep functioning day to day, but this story broke me. I cannot put my rage into words any more.

Very eye opening talk, a little excessive on blaming rich Jewish Americans for Israel for my comfort, but the discussion of empire in decline was very interesting.

It makes me wonder if the next election or perhaps the one after will basically the choice of is more likely to launch nukes when they get into office. If the president will even get the choice to say no.

If KG wants start start a band with someone with can’t play guitar very good but can sing pretty well, I am available

Is there a new subreddit? I’m not really on reddit any more so I have no idea

What if that guy just saw the uncovered roof and succumbed to an intrusive thought
