“Musking it up”?

If only there was a name for that kind of money making scheme…

I always support adding more specificity in filtering and search options.

Well that is horrible, I love it.

Look there’s always been plenty of sad story elements to the Fallout games, but sometimes they lean way too hard in the direction of “every outcome is depressing and there is no good option”.

I believe it was Plato who once said “Fuck Nintendo”.

If their budget is tight enough yeah a Linux build-your-own is likely the cheapest way to go. It probably won’t be able to play high end games without getting close to the steam price point but you can go much cheaper and still play the majority of steam games.

I’m a data analyst by trade so rhetoric like that can fuck right off. You want to talk about loot box mechanics? Sure. But bullshit scare mongering descriptions like that have no place in reasonable discourse.

Shit I’ll take that as a reason too and gladly back them for it.

Sure, but they’re one of the only companies proving that consumerism doesn’t mean you have to be a complete asshole of a company. They make money, people get the product they want at a price point they are satisfied with.

Honestly that makes me like Steam even more. Any company that is willing to put up that much money to serve a niche market earns my respect. Sure they’re doing it for the simple reason of Steam machine owners being guaranteed Steam gaming customers but it’s still serving a subset of their customers like few companies do these days.

I imagine most of the more tech savvy people on Lemmy would scoff at this and say “Might as well build a PC” (me included, which I already did), but this is aimed at the consumers who do not have that skill set and are willing to pay that price point for a Steam gaming system /shrug

I am intrigued enough to throw 5 bucks at this to see how I like it. I loved Erenshor, the single player MMO, more than I thought I would so this sounds fun.
