There were also drives from other manufacturers. I’ve seen different drives, p.ex. Kingston, in retail Steam Decks in Europe lately. So it probably only has to do with getting enough stock to accelerate production.

I was really thinking about what people dislike. Then it hit me: It looks like the cartoons from the late 90s/early 2000s when they limited the animation frames and simplified/abstracted the character forms.
A lot of people, who grew up with Monkey Island, also grew up with older cartoons that - while still having…

I am still wondering though how many people really were affected as badly as I’ve seen in some videos.
Never could reproduce that at my place, though I didn’t play it on an OG PS4, which seens to have been hit hardest.
Biggest problem seemed to be the HDDs of the old consoles. If you install, then delete and install lots…

I am not familiar with that saying, as English is not my primary language. Care to explain?
Apart from that, I speak from personal experience from the gaming industry. 

In larger companies, for every successful title that ships there are about one dozen pitches that were scrapped in early testing phases that nobody outside the company has heard of and that also have to be funded - at least in my experience. Even companies that only release 2D browsergames have dabbled in 3d action…

erm, regarding your last sentence:
Blizzard is currently recruiting for a management position for an ingame-Shop for Diablo IV... so... real money auction house again?

Star Citizen has this, and has planets that are larger (or so it seems), but getting the few planets and moons they have right now took them their sweet time. That said, even now they have more large cities ports than starfield, at least when the second system (Pyro) is open to the general public. And a lot of…

nah, surely not. It is more the “I would like it if I didn’t have to do stuff like this” - thing.
Sometimes stuff breaks and can’t be helped. When Sega slowly abandoned the Dreamcast, the servers for Propeller Arena got taken down since they moved all of their internet services to another provider iirc (the game was…

Well, basically a lot of people do not have the necessary knowledge to safely edit stuff in their files, but think because they have a PC they should be entitled to and do it anyways and THEN complain when stuff goes wrong.
For those people, having this “walled garden” which then in return works (and even cross…

GoG is a shining example on PC, that’s true. HumbleBundle used to be one too before they got bought out.
Cracking software to bypass copy protection is sadly illegal, so if the developers don’t hand out a crack as an update when they stop distributing the software, your SOL.

I remember a stragegy game of the…

I don’t know, it may look like this to you, but from an operating system and security standpoint, I can only say that it makes a ton of sense what MS is doing here, and they are doing it all using the functions already built into the operating system, that are also used in other places that you probably never noticed.
I…

But the game you bought at a store in a box often just contains a download code these days, not even a disc. No physical medium whatsoever. And most games contact the devs servers, even at singleplayer startup, before you’re allowed to play.
So in essence, if it doesn’t come on a cartridge, it is worth zero if you…

On PC, it used to mask files and folders under a different user so that they would not be tampered with so game data stayed unaltered (cheater prevention). If you changed any settings it would not accept the folders anymore as its library, and you had to take ownership, delete them and re-build a new library.

They had…

Partially agree with you here, the price hike if you want to go from 60fps / console-like quality to 140fps and beyond / maximum 4K glory on PC is insane. You can build a good rig right now that rivals/slightly surpasses PS5/XSX-visuals for about 1500€. Or you can go all out and spend more than that on the graphics…

1000 worlds, probably a lot of generated stuff. Mission-critical settlements will be hand-crafted, but the rest? Probably more for resource gathering and leveling up.
To me it looked totally like No Mans Sky, with a dash of Destiny in the art direction (especially the banners in the city, and parts of the spacesuits)…

The funny thing is: If Sony wouldn’t restrict their browser on their console so strictly, they could all play it via Xbox cloud gaming without buying new hardware. They are just bummed that they don’t get the best possible experience when they clearly deserve is since they are the superior Sony console master race.…

Acceleration is meaningless if it is not repeatable. How many times in a row can you accelerate from 0-60 in the Model S plaid before it overheats and forces you in some kind of limp mode?
How long can you drive it on full power? Something all Model S have problems with to this day, the speeds they achieve are…

You really should be. Using your full credit card credentials online with a company that had several major known data leaks when it came to customer data is troublesome to say the least. I do not know if Epic even uses an outside payment processing company - though I would think so, since otherwise they would have to…

The speed limit stuff is bull. The deaths due to high speed on the unregulated parts of the German Autobahn are far, far lower than on byroads or in cities.
Speed limits are necessary and meaningful in a lot of places, but if they are not obeyed, that is when fatal accidents happen.
So we do not need necessarily more…

The Cadillac Catera is just a rebadged Opel Omega with a grille a bit more reminiscent of the older Opel Senator.
Uncommon as a Cadillac, very common as the Omega in Europe. The estate version was loved by police because you could put tons of gear in the back and still had place on the back seats.

But bringing in…
