Not really… anything pre-internet has been pretty preservable.

Does that make it better?

I don’t think the issue is with people deducing something is wrong with the game. The issue is people sayings “It’s definitely the fuel pump - why didn’t you give it a larger pipe?” because the windscreen wipers aren’t working.

I wonder how reddit users would respond to this sort of treatment. We’ve already sorta proven that most users are addicted enough that they’d get away with it.

Suppose I shouldn’t give anyone ideas though…

It’s a issue I have with most factory games, or even games like Minecraft. I really enjoy mid-late game. Early game is almost always a slog… an important and fun one the first time, but after the first time…

Did anyone else feel as… disengaged with the second one as I did? Something about it just didn’t grab me like the first one…

It’s not even a technical thing, like many have complained about. I never had those sorts of issues on my computer (once I turned off the steam desktop controller thing). It just didn’t keep my attention.

I’m not sure how good it’s going to be, considering the lack of discrete GPU… but that said, even onboard graphics would be plenty for many games, and certainly for streaming them from a more powerful computer.

RGB!!

More seriously, “gaming headphones” are almost always actually “gaming headsets”, ie they have a mic. Good music headphones without a mic don’t fulfil the requirements of quite a lot of gamers, and normal headsets are usually calibrated for voice and not immersiveness in games.

+1 for computercraft. It was super satisfying getting them to do even trivial things, but a huge reward when you pushed them beyond that.

Though I did find, in order to retain sanity, that I had to remote into the minecraft server and use an IDE rather than the somewhat awful experience of writing lua in game without any IDE tools.

My Vive Pro does work - but not as nicely as it did on windows. Driver support for stuff like reprojection doesn’t seem to be there.

I think one of the reasons people don’t understand that is because they’ve pulled the same trick multiple times with far less logical reasoning, so they’ve kinda done that to themselves.

But thanks for explaining it.

I really wish someone would teach these companies how to count.
My only guess is that they want to hide the insane amount of COD games there are.

Online games can die in that way as well, so I don’t really see your argument. If it’s continued updates - then single-player (or self hosted) games can still get those (just as they can be pulled for online-only ones).

If it’s other players that keep you going - then look to games which support LAN or self-hosted servers. Then at least when the main server gets pulled, the community can take over.

That’s summed up why it sucks so niche much when “that game” is online. Unlike offline ones, eventually they’ll die.

What’s their definition of AI then? Seems like games that feature heavy procedurally generated content (for example) could fit many common definitions, and that is clearly not in the spirit of what they’re trying to do here.

That only kinda works. No multiplayer, no achievements, no cloud saves…

Some people will immediatly want to respond with “I don’t want that anyway”. Before doing so, please consider whether you’re missing the point entirely.

At least with Spotify, you don’t specifically buy any songs.
GOG is the only good egg in your list. Shame their Linux support is awful…

Heh true.

It’ll be a long time before anything can reasonably generate that kind of resolution. Streaming is almost definitely out, and the GPU required to run a game at that at anything but minimum settings…

That said, gotta look to the future I guess. Gotta wonder if there’s any tangible benefit to going over 4K, unless you’re nose is up against the screen anyway.

Unfortunately, there probably would be. Hopefully it would be less popular, but some people just non-ironically think that way. Disturbing, but reality.
