TELLTALE IS BACK! WE’RE GETTING A SEQUEL TO WOLF AMONG US!

Not sure where that’s supposed to fit in my entertainment center but...we’ll figure that out

I was really interested in Hades when it was announced but also dislike EGS.  This is great because EGS was basically the beta testers and now that its on steam I can reap all the benefits.

I think that swagger’s going to be mitigated by the fact that there’s a subscription fee (for the pro level, anyhow) combined with having to buy the games (which isn’t the case for most other sub-streaming services) on top of the latency problem.

It’s a grand idea, but its pricing model sucks, and the connectivity

Your comparison to Netflix is a good one. One of the reasons why streaming video subscriptions are worthwhile is because you’re only watching maybe a 2 hour movie or a few TV episodes in one sitting. But if you really love a movie or a show and want to watch it multiple times, you might choose to buy your own digital

There are two problems with Stadia.

You’re really coming at us w/ the “if I’ve got nothing to hide, what’s the problem w/ giving up privacy,” line?

I have some pretty clear insight with what these orgs do with your data. I work in AI/analytics for several of them. It’s not just ads. Just one example, your habits are being relayed to insurance companies (how you drive, what you eat, what sports you participate in). From that they determine how much of a premium

let’s face it, video games as a whole has started to fall apart with shitty  monetization practices.

The preservation and consumer rights stuff is interesting here. It’s obviously a concern but I wonder if this kind of thing is going to be the impetus to new legislation regarding digital ownership. Tragically (at least in the US), changes to what it means to own a digital game likely won’t happen until something high

“Living north of the border, I’d say the image we get from you guys is that a good chuck of your population seems to actually like voting for a person that is a fucking joke and an insult. ;) 

It’s actually dual function - you can use it as a credit card, and it’s also a sign to others that you’re a douchebag

The issue (for most) has never been the additional launcher, though many try to twist it that way. It also isn’t that the epic storefront exists. For me personally, I disagree with their business practices and security. That said, regardless of how I feel about the situation,  it's never an excuse to attack the devs.

This seems like historical revisionism to me. So peoples’ drawing style changes over time? Whoah, what a novel concept! :)

This is why I can’t for the life of me completely get behind some left policies.

Fair enough. I’m glad to have had a reasonable discussion though about it. Too many of the conversations in here are just insulting each other back and forth or “no, you’re wrong” with no actual conversation or points to back it up.  Always nice to have a proper discussion instead of whatever the heck is going on in

My issue with all of the EGS exclusivity garbage is that it’s all complete crap. Third party exclusives are garbage. Always have been...always will be. I also have specific issues with Epic because for the past 2 years I haven’t been able to log in to my account even thougfh I’ve given them avery piece of ID they
