OK, I don't like retro gaming. I don't like pixel graphics, but this looks GREAT! I also think Selaco looks great. So, what do you call this graphics style? High-res + low poly? The aesthetic suits my niche judgement.

Do we even believe the claim? Would games be less expensive from other publishers? You know what, I don't think so. Steam is like the inventor of the mega slash sales of digitally delivered games, and they happen repeatedly. My average game purchase is much below $40. Many indie games wouldn't even exist because they'd be too much work to get published without Steam. I don't think this suit makes sense.

Quoting: amatai

Quoting: 14I would tell people I'm a CRPG fan, but I sadly didn't get very far in Pillars of Eternity. I'd consider starting over and creating an "easy" character or something, however BG3 is immensely more enjoyable, which I am not done with despite over 100 hours.

I have played 10 hours of PoE but find it very boring. PoE 2 on the other hand was far more fun and polished. One of the best infinity-like games (second only to BG2 in my opinion).

I have 24 hours in PoE. Can't say I bounced off with that much time, but I felt like I gave up when the story was getting started.

The 9700X sounds appealing as I have the 2700X now that takes more power. But, a GPU will help me out more at this time, so maybe I'll do a mobo+CPU combo in 2025. Maybe.

Quoting: denyasisI tried No Man's Sky in 2019 or 2020. It was pretty good. I must admit I bounced off Terreria pretty hard, but maybe the kids will like it. Both are great games!

I don't like Terraria either. I like Starbound more. But my kids do like Terraria a lot FWIW.

Umm, try to stop me, I guess...? Name changes are legal, so... family members will get my credentials and then change the name on the account. The billing address may even be the same depending on who gets it. *shrug*

Same goes for registered domains, email accounts, etc. It's ridiculous to think you can't pass on ownership. Laughable.

If there was some kind of legal battle, executor of the estate might be a utility to bring to the argument.

I wish it had co-op. It could still be pretty cool though.

A bit interesting to see who else IGN's parent company owns as well.

Sickening.

We can do some good things with AI and some bad things. This is a bad one.
