QuoteLarian also confirmed that no DLC expansion is coming for Baldur's Gate 3, it's a complete game and they will be moving onto their next game although Baldur's Gate 3 will still get patches to fix issues.

All I need from BG3 at this point is a photo mode, to be honest. There are too few opportunities to take good close up shots of a character without the UI getting in the way.

Now if only Konami could give the same kind of love to some of their other games...

For example, they literally abandoned GetsuFumaDen Undying Moon even though it clearly has missing content (the game has various placeholders for multiple weapon types, characters, and stages), disappeared from the official Discord server, released a physical Switch edition of the game a year after abandoning it, then went radio silent again after that.

Quoting: bisbyxThere's a whole other suite of things Steam provides (forums, guides, mod support, screenshot storage, cross-device save syncing) on top of "Im able to play games on linux AT ALL because of Valve". 30% might be a bit much for a store. But it isn't necessarily too much for a store + community platform combo.

And don't forget all of the hardware R&D and production, which is also funded by that cut.

Quoting: bisbyxEGS didn't even have a shopping cart for a year.

It's worse than that. It took Epic three years to implement it.

Quoteyou don't need to feel guilty about hopping from game to game.

Well, I'll keep feeling guilty especially when it prevents me from completing games I put on hold months/years ago.

*glances at games like Boneworks, Monster Hunter World, or WH40K Mechanicus, to name just three out of maybe hundreds*

Damn, even though I already have the first game, the F.E.A.R. collection for that price is a steal.

Steam Beta ever since I got a Steam Controller. Outside of maybe one case where the client segfaulted on boot *years* ago, but that's it.

Quoting: Beamboom

QuoteMost Innovative Gameplay: Starfield

That right there is the only documentation one need against user driven awards. It really is a general popularity contest. The more users, the more votes.

I think RDR2 getting "labour of love" even though Rockstar abandoned it the year prior is a better example. :D

QuoteWhat have you been playing recently on either Steam Deck or desktop Linux?

On desktop, Leaf Blower Revolution, Vampire Survivors, Euro Truck Simulator 2, HoloCure, Space Beast Terror Fright, a few adult-only games, Operencia: The Stolen Sun, Ultrakill, and a few games by Kairosoft. On Deck, mostly VS.

Space Beast Terror Fright runs on Deck, but it has UI issues as it's made for 16:9 ratios, and the small screen kinda hampers visibility.

TLoU robbing games like Hi-Fi RUSH for Best OST and REmake4 being nominated for story-rich are also... not great at all.

At least the latter had zero chance of winning against BG3, but still...

My stats are 356 games played, 1888 achievements unlocked, 2079 sessions, 143 new games.

My top 5 most played games are Aragami 2 (~6% of total playtime), The Great Ace Attorney Collection (~5%), an adult-only game I won't mention (also ~5%), Powerwash Simulator (also ~5%), and Baldur's Gate 3 (~4%).

And to give you an idea of how much total playtime I got, I put 96 hours in BG3, and 112 hours in TGAAC, though I did leave those games running in the background a few times, so these aren't fully representative of my actual playtime.
