How is it a mess? They gave people YEARS with constant reminders and it takes like half a minute to do. Anyone having issues with this is a fucking idiot and deserves to loose their account.

Reading your comment feels like having a stroke. How did you manage to fuck up basic grammar and punctuation that badly?

You might have missed the news, Affinity sold out to Canva. Really sucks, Affinity was the only truly good alternative but I put it in the mental “never touch” category immediately when that happened.

Yes, you are a clown.

microtransactions isn’t relayed to this at all though… I hate them as much as anyone else but this is about giving the devs the time they need.

Your reply is basically “I know buzzwords but don’t know what they really mean so I’ll just reply with whatever comes to mind about games nowadays being bad”.

It just instantly crashes for me after clicking “play” on the launcher. Fresh install, no mods or anything else, updated drivers etc.

I’ve had it for a couple of years but just never got around to playing it. Was excited to do that now after watching the show but after the update it just instantly crashes after clicking “play” on the launcher (completely fresh install, all drivers etc updated). This seems to be very common too, tons of posts about it on the steam discussions. Sadly not super surprised, it’s Bethesda after all.

I’m patiently waiting for OLED refurbished. Even that will force me to live on water and oatmeal for a few months but I’m OK with that.

Forgot I had subtitles on and the [XBOX SOUND] at the beginning of the video made me laugh snort coffee up my nose. It makes sense, what else would you call it, but it’s still weirdly funny.

Dead* that*

There’s plenty of other stuff being made, and I’m pretty sure you either know that and just wanted to complain or somehow didn’t know, in which case it’s your own fault for not even trying to find everything else. There are always trending genres, that’s always been and will always be a thing. You don’t need to be a dick just because you aren’t a fan of the currently trending ones. You have literally all games ever made to play, nothing is forcing you to play only the most recent and popular ones. And a couple of years from now some other genre will be trending, maybe even ones you like. But as said, there’s plenty of good games being released in all genres and formulas, just look for what you like and you’ll find it, it’s really not hard.

We all want Polybiussy

I played Andromeda about a year ago and absolutely loved it. I went in with low expectations and was thoroughly proven wrong. I’ve loved all the mass effect games but I think I liked Andromeda most, which people seem to get angry about when I say it.

That’s just not true. I’m not a Microsoft fan by any means but I’m also not an idiot, many great games have been published by them.

I’ve been craving a new game like this but Last Epoch just isn’t doing it for me. I get super bored when playing it and have to stop after an hour or two and then never really feel like playing it again. I’ve forced myself to play it for about 20 hours but I gave up after that. It just feels empty and soulless somehow, it makes me completely aware I’m just sitting and clicking buttons and watching numbers go up/down.

You don’t need to change anything other than the graphics and do some quality of life changes and additions. There’s no reason at all to add jump if the original doesn’t have it.

Congratulations, you’ve shown everyone how dumb you are.

It isn’t ownership, but it does have value, a lot of value for many people.
I’ve been able to play so many games I otherwise wouldn’t have because of it. I can’t afford even one $60 game a month, so getting access to hundreds of them for $10 is awesome. I’ve also been given codes for 3 months of free playpass to give to friends several times, and have played many games with those friends that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
And I don’t care about owning the games, I played them, had fun, finished them, and don’t have a use for them anymore. Why own something you don’t need more than “once” (the time it took to finish or get bored of it) when you can spend way less money for something that gives you access to that thing for what is still longer than you would need?

I buy any game I do want to own, but for the vast majority of games, I’m absolutely fine with not owning forever. And with the subscription, you’re also free to play any game for however long you want and not have to worry about losing refund rights. I have several games on Steam that I would rather not have spent money on, but it took more than two hours to figure that out, so now I can’t get the money back.
