Just putting a post here to say that I have a 1080Ti and my next card will not be nVidia. Also unlikely to upgrade in the near future.
Probably looking to the next-after-next AMD cards, but still keeping an eye on Intel. :)

Very rough Early Access title, no sound for me and crashes on exit. Still enjoyed its laid back gameplay and I hope it doesn't go hardcore tycoon with 5 gazillion micromanagment features. :)

I agree with you btw. Loot boxes is poison...
Anyway, making easy money is difficult (oh noes the pun!) unless you understand the basic core principle of humans; people are stupid. When you throw away scruples and ethics, exploiting this fact becomes a matter or having deep enough pockets to stuff the money into.
Is it wrong to design and/or provide a desirable, potentially addictive product, then extract monetary profit from it? Problematic subject considering how humans are inherently susceptible to addiction. :S:
Some governments (NL, BE) do take issue with these pseudo-gambling-esque mannerisms and ban/regulate them.

One thing we all can do is remember the old saying "vote with your wallet".

Quoting: GuestI hear that...to deal with ARMA atm they expect you to have a steam account, bohemia account, a discord account and a kitchen sink account...so sick of all these sign ups I want to play a F'ing game not be some social media diversity king.Amen to that. I really have no idea how many hundreds of accounts I have nowadays... it is complete madness.

Interested, but not interested enough to join yet another Discord so a small note here will suffice.

Really not into card games, still happy for Linux support!
Valve missed a golden opportunity here to troll the gaming world.
Imagine the SteamOS/Linux version being released a week earlier than the Windows version. Imagine the sadness/madness/badassness!
Imagine that becoming the gold standard for Valve releases; Linux first. :P
Or... HalfLife 3 - the world's first Linux exclusive AAA title! /runs away screaming

Very interesting talk, although the only topic with any substance was the stuttering situation. Really looking forward to this (r)evolution!
