  • Easier to ignore the nicotine stains.

  • Itch is exclusively indie devs, afaik, but since Steam started their Greenlight initiative, the number of games released per year has rocketed up. 2012, the year Greenlight started, only 441 games were released on steam. Two years later in 2014, almost 1500 games were released. 2017 released 5600. 2021 released 10,200. And last year had over 21k. How much of that do we think is really DRM'd, AAA published software?

  • Ah fuck, now I want a Donald Glover/Bo Burnham collab on this.

  • Thank you! I was wondering what shenanigans they were possibly using to make filament glow in different colors, even in the same bulb. That also explains the need for such large enclosures. Neat!

  • In terms of straight numbers, isn't Steam's large "advantage" there it's offering of independent, mostly unregulated games from small time devs? Are those really using drm? Even if there are, I don't really think most users are choosing Steam over GOG for access to "Asset Flip #57354".

  • unessisary unecessary

    Just a little correction.

  • Just to be clear, distributing on Steam adds nothing functional to a game's playability on the Steam Deck (afaik). A game from GOG can be played in a Deck just as well as one from Steam, albeit with slightly more effort.

    That said, I know customers will flow toward the path of least resistance, so even a little more effort will push them towards a different source.

  • People get way too wrapped up in this shit. As if not getting fed a minute-by-minute newsfeed of constant progress updates means it's all falling apart. Players feel so entitled to immediate gratification, and they invent endless conspiracies in their fits of indignation.

    I wish creators like CA could magically isolate themselves from this nonsense. It's the last thing they deserve.

  • 25% correct.

  • Who needs tech-debt when you have new and improved slop-debt?

  • "It's not 'sleep deprivation' - it's performance art."

  • What prime material for someone to write an allegorical book about.

  • Calling it "AI" is a big reason why it's a big reason why.

  • This was inevitable as soon as the image/video generation tech became self-hostable. It's still abhorrent, but not surprising from a government so shamelessly self-serving as his. We're fast entering an age where little-to-nothing will be trustworthy. Scary shit.

  • Them playing their hand to help him get elected didn't tip you off?
