20k and dropping by thousands every day? So you’re telling me no one will be playing it in a week?

Publishing requires a lot of starting capital. I wouldn’t hold my breath, tbh.

That it’s actually more than 2 a year, I assume.

Rebirth was amazing, can’t wait for the next one!

7700XT and 4060ti aren’t retailing for 350USD and you’re not getting 4k 60fps at the fidelity the PS5 pro is doing.

Your comment is more a reflection on the choice of console rather than discussing the price. Pc upgrades are not always that cheap, either.

“comparable gpu” is kinda loaded. I have a pc and a ps5, so I’m not trying to take sides. What gpu are you getting for 350 usd that games at the fps, quality, and resolution that the ps5 does?

I see a lot of outrage about the price. But really, what’s the alternative? Inflation has been nuts and most things are up. GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you’re building a pc.

I will say though, no disc drive is a real shit move. Just a few years ago it was like, “here’s the price, and here’s the price if you don’t want a disk drive.” Now it’s the opposite and that part is definitely annoying.

It’s still not good, imho. It’s supposed to be a game about exploring space. But the “exploring” in this case is just fast travel. I grew up on Bethesda games, I hold games like Morrowind, Oblivon, and Fallout 3 in very high regard. Starfield just got so boring, so fast, I couldn’t continue playing after only like ten hours, if that.

What advantages would this have over Obsidian, which is already all local unless you explicitly make it not so?

Unraid has been so simple for me. Really pleased with it.

I’m “techy”, but not in a tech career. By that I mean I’ve always been casually interested in tech, and enjoy building my own PCs, and am usually the one people come to for tech help, even if I just end up googling it for them haha.

Got into hosting through Home Assistant and Foundry VTT.

I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.

My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.

But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.

I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.

Love GDQ. It’s good to hear Matty is doing well enough to take the reins now.

Nintendo is an interesting example to use, as their games famously don’t decrease in value and honestly often sell for more than original over time.

I’ve been playing my 3DS, Wii, WiiU, Gamecube, and PS2 titles on it.

Okay, but, they did already do an incremental upgrade.

This is a dumb article by a dumb author.

checks author lmao, okay bud.

It’s kind of a double edged sword. It’s nice to say “I’m fine with that delay if it means we get a better polished game” as a consumer, but they gotta pay employees. More time means the game costs more money, which means it needs to perform better to turn a profit. It’s a delicate balancing act.
