I'd gladly pay $199 for a Windows 11 Lite/Premium straight from MS that shipped with 90% less of the monetization stuff present on stock install (similar to LTSC), and with no arbitrary restrictions on what could be further opted out of or...
I thought it was a creative ad and people are overreacting, but that's just me. People are saying "how can they destroy those beautiful creative tools", but like guys, they're mass produced in a factory, you can get more. They didn't crush a...
FF7 Remake, Cyberpunk 2077, Metro Exodus. One of those games is around 5 years old already. I'll have to think more if there were some others, but generally most games do not really grab me that much anymore. Too derivative, task-based rather...
Nintendo also has decades of experience creating and marketing console systems and video games with a devoted following built up over many years. Valve created a device for a market which, outside of a few niche players, basically didn’t exist...
For me cyberpunk 2077. I still find myself quoting lines from it or using some of its lingo, and it really makes me think about where we are headed as a species.
Anecdotal data from me, its warmer now where im at, started pausing subscriptions since i am not stuck inside as much now. I also don't buy many games in the spring/summer, once fall starts is when i pick up some and usually its sale time too :D.
It's been taking me 2-4ish months to finish a game. I wait for sales instead of paying full price.
For example, I got Jagged Alliance 3 for under $40. It took me 4-5 months to finish it. There is no economic incentive for me to pay $10/mo...
That's annoying.
There should really never be any reason to use bitlocker on a device which is not mobile.
More so than just performance it also makes managing (resizing, copying, deleting, etc.) drives and partitions using third party tools a...
Pretty much my stance on any game subs; I have enough of a backlog of games I'd like to play already that would prolly last me for the next few years minimum. Not even counting old games that I just like to revisit after a while because I liked...
Ahh the soft-trolling of "I haven't personally experienced what you've described, it must be an exaggeration so why do you hate Microsoft?"
The astroturfing on this has always been a little odd - and not specifically anyone in this thread but...
It wasn't a fake problem. The game was literally pulled from Steam, for countries which can't use PSN. And people in those same countries whom already owned the game, would not be able to play.
Thankfully, Sony was quick to rethink their...
You're not outside, living life. You're on the internet, telling people they can't have discussions online. You're being silly. It makes me wonder why you're even here. If people discussing things online triggers you, perhaps the internet isn't...
None of us are accomplishing anything in here, its just conversation. It is also just as easy for you to not respond and disregard something that is of no interest. Equate it to real life. Would you sitting there at the bar with the rest of us...
Awful people are the ones that tell others their opinions or concerns are of no value. Even if i don't agree with someone, they still have value in what they think. Otherwise why even be on a forum, echo chambers are boring.
That would mean we need to get rid of Steam, just so you know. And you still need a GOG account to buy and download their standalone installers. I also don't miss needing to set aside up to 2 hours to install a game from a disc or discs, which...
