This is a very tough question. Ask yourself, what is it worth and what value does this add to the user experience?

Like, I like the idea of the project. I’m not even mad they aren’t doing it for free but, like, fuck Man…

“We have not solidified a price point yet.”

Or something. “What value does this add”? Is Steam gonna allow me to decide what I want to pay like itch.io or something? Fuck, that feels like such a “we want to charge the absolute most we can with good intentions we promise,” statement.

I’m still using a 1070ti and hitting stable 60fps with newer games. Medium to low settings, usually but most slow down comes from poor optimization since I’m running a 12th Gen and regularly see medium usage on both GPU and CPU.

They come wired and wireless.

I mean, I never paid for it but I did the math many years ago, to explain predatory microtransactions, and found out that for a chance - a perfect rolled no dupes chance - it’d be cheaper to buy a 2DS and a physical copy of new leaf.

Like, there’s only so many times they can release a set or do a palette swap for a ‘new’ collection.

My dish still has a flash drive marked “Win 8” which I’ve since overwritten with… Some flavor of Linux. Mint maybe.

This is Analogue’s response to WulffDen’s video on the people who make the aluminum reshell for the Pocket.

Look, the Pocket is a great device for it’s MSRP and not a dollar over. I love having one but it’s not worth any of the “exclusive” editions.

1.) Used to be a dishwasher and even the government had a hard time getting my prints.

2.) A wiener (that’s attached to a human) can actually be used and make a recognizable print on a fingerprint reader. (Not recommended for daycare workers.)

In a world where Sony and Embracer are running around saying we need to be paying $70+ for games (while tipping the devs and buying micro transactions like a good like wallet)… You’re mad at the storefront?

Yeah, go into Walmart and demand they take less of a cut so… The publisher can take more from the devs?

Gabe is rich because he spearheaded a good service (which I’ll admit I thought was a scam back when I was forced to make an account way back when I had dial up) but… 30% is standard. For the price of games? Be mad at Embracer. Be mad at EA. You’re free to not like or use Steam but they let the publishers set the price. Their cut is a drop in the bucket. The whole ‘cut’ debate is just EGS propaganda.

Different guy but I’ve got over 2,700 games on Steam thanks to sales… So I’ve probably saved at least one thousand… Maybe not two, unless we count not buying for Star Citizen as a savings!

If you’ve got kids and a partner, you can’t go sit at your computer or take over the living room TV…

So, yeah, I use my Deck all the time. I take it with me on work and road trips but I’m always driving or working so it honestly gets most of it’s use on the couch. Six feet from the much more powerful gaming PC and six feet from the living room media PC that can also play games. Hundreds of dollars of GPU in one room and hundreds of hours using the Deck instead.

If you’ve got a market cap of three trillion and the investors expect three trillion plus one next quarter, can you afford to risk it?

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. One in ten isn’t bad odds.
