Usually a lurker.
Maybe I should’ve just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment…

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • It’s a double dipping technique.
    First all players are hyped for GTA6, some even buying a console to experience it on launch day.
    Then the PC release get’s out 1-2 years later and everyone with a capable rig know it will run better there and buy it again.

    Assuming it will be a 80€ game, they now made 160€ in revenue instead of 80.








  • I can certainly close my account and install games from other store fronts on my PC.
    Valve is neither forcing me on my SteamDeck nor on my PC to use Steam.
    I use emulators on my deck and also installed EA Origin and successfully launched titles on it.

    And Apple was only recently forced to allow devs outlinks to their respective shopping pages (currently only in the US). Just the priviledge to link users to the subscription page to circumvent apple trying to get a cut.
    That is actually lock in.
    On Android I can do what I want. And if I so desire I could install an alternative OS on it.
    Try that with an iPhone.
