I’ve been interested in a couple Epic exclusive games but never wanted to buy them from Epic. Even once they finally come to Steam the game is tainted in my mind and I’ve got other stuff to play by then.

Is unnecessary for me, I suck at driving the speeder.

ETA I figured out 2 things, one is I had a setting that was making one key press count as full throttle instantly, the other was if you hold down right mouse button then that let’s you control the camera instead of it fighting you constantly.

Yep they can just let me know when they figure things out.

There is a cheater problem and the game is still popular, not sure how much kernel anticheat will help though.

You do kill people and steal a lot of stuff. Your little companion can steal from guards.

There are too many games of this sort. Nobody wants to play them because you have to devote your life to grinding and getting good if you want to be play well.

We need some new ideas and you don’t need to bet the company on every game. Instead of pouring millions of dollars into a clone of existing games, develop several smaller more innovative games and see which ones succeed. For every Concord there is a Stardew Valley, Vampire Survivors, or Among Us.

MS seems to be more of a user data and subscription company now.

Something like their Surface tablets turned into a gaming machine would be interesting. But they probably wouldn’t be priced competitively.

Yes, they are way too corporate and out of touch.

Valve gaming polish, I primarily use my home PC for gaming and I feel like a distro Valve makes would be best suited and supported for that.

Steam Deck works just fine in desktop mode with mouse and keyboard.

Make it free to play and sell cosmetics, only way a game like this has a chance.

They never even finished updating all the Windows applets for Windows 7/8/10 AFAIK.

Back in PS3 days Sony were the ones that let you install any hard drive you wanted, didn’t make you pay for multiplayer, and let you install Linux on your PS3.

But now they are worse overall.

It takes two, the publisher to offer the deal and buyers to take the deal.

Live service, paid car passes, beautiful open world but inexplicable gameplay choices.

It’s a cool tech demo, it does things the other space sims do not. But be aware during the free periods the game tends to run worse, it depends on servers a lot.

Wireless mouse and Xbox controllers do most everything I need.

Yeah I wound up just buying the Gamepass games I played most on a good sale and canceling Gamepass. I’ve been happy with that.

Forza Horizon 4, buy Ultimate so you get the 2 map expansions.

BeamNG.Drive has a great driving and damage model and lots of car and map mods.

Have the taxi drivers compete and fight for the fares.
