It seems very clear that publishers don’t want to have to hear from their fans when they make unpopular decision., but they sre al too happy to ride any positive buzz with their hands out begging for money. Calling the reviews and forums of steam “toxic” actually demonstrates exactly why they are needed. They are the…

Man I haven't even thought about pirating games in many many years, but I have a feeling that this is the kind of stupidness that will bring it back again

So she expected anonymity (a special privilege that other players don’t get to enjoy), then left because the community wasn’t having it. And right on cue, the white knights come out of the woodwork to ramble on about the evil patriarchy and how unfair it all is that everyone is expected to play by the same rules. This…

In this day and age, there are an uncountable number of topics, phrases, hashtags, and slogans that have to be avoided if you don’t want to to trigger the outrage mob. I don’t really see why these companies maintain any presence at all on social media. Is it really worth it? If a single tweet that referenced a…

Steam reviews are extremely useful when the user is considering purchasing an unknown indie title. Most people understand that the big games could do just fine without them, but for the smaller guys... Well, I know I dont take chances on unknown titles with my money unless they are getting positive reviews on steam.

The epic store will not have any of the powerful tools that consumers frequently use to communicate with each other about issues with games. Naturally, developers would love to see these tools removed, but it’s not better for the consumer if they are gone. Without them, I don’t see how epic thinks its going to pull…

Reviews and forums are powerful tools for the consumer to communicate positives and negatives and they are invaluable when it comes to troubleshooting. It seems only natural that game companies would like to see them gone. I think it would be better to continue refining those features and implementing more ways to…

Never say never. Hypothetically, Epic or some other company could strike a deal with developers that links a user’s steam account and makes certain titles available on other platforms. I am just theorizing of course, but steam is definitely not to big to fail. If developers start jumping ship, it will only be a matter…

Battle.net is not in the business of distributing unknown indie titles to potentially interested customers. It's a highly curated platform featuring well known in-house titles. The two platforms are hardly comparable at all.

Having a place to talk about a problem with a game or game developer does not mean that your words will find an audience. You will typically only end up talking to like-minded folks that have encountered the same problem themselves and sought out a answer. The forums and review sections on steam are one of the ONLY…

I can’t even count the number of times steam forums have been essential to me quickly and easily resolving the typical problems that come with the territory of pc gaming. Without access to the forums, it can take upwards of several hours or more to find information about a specific problem with a game not working on…

I think the big difference is that conservatives have an inherit distrust of government and big corporations and they tend to put more weight on things that they see with their own eyes and ears and hear about through their own circles. They tend to look for and make connections between patterns of events and are…

Wow. I don’t even have words for that diatribe. And then to end it with an accusation that I’m the shitposter... The irony and cringe is just too much. Holy cow!

My experience at my dealership definitely influenced my decision to purchase a second vehicle from the same dealer a couple years later. Excellent customer service is not something you can assume you will receive anywhere you go. When my car needs service, the dealer sends someone out to pick it up outside my work…

My expectations? Here is what I expect: I expect that people who do not value their own limited time, presumably ones like yourself based on your words, will continue to donate their time and labor to big corporations for free because they have been duped into thinking it’s a privilege to do so. For the record, I am…

Is this game free to play? Or are people actually plunking down money for it? Serious question.... I’ve skipped on playing far more impressive looking free-to-plays than this clunker because there’s just not enough time to play all the great games out there.

Once upon a time, companies paid the user to test out their unfinished products. How the times have changed...

I must be extremely bored. I actually read the whole article. I guess I'm a glutton for pain sometimes

Google’s “show no more from this source” button is not working. I’ve attempted to mute this hypocritical anti-American claptrap again and again, but it keeps appearing in my feed. These hate articles don't help anyone.

Never enjoyed the total war games, but I'm genuinely shocked to hear that the social justice nonsense has permeated down into these games. Apparently, there is nowhere to go anymore to get away from the narrative. It's no surprise that the internet itself is now at risk of collapse due to the social justice CoC in the…
