8-10 hours at your best, you mean.

Urgh that must be gross having a scalper guy at work

Gamepass being operating system agnostic would be great. My Australian internet is too shit for cloud streaming though.

I would have thought Xbox/M$ would be subsidising the hardware cost somewhat.

That’s a new word to me, but yeah of course there’s a name for that.

I don’t believe this screenshot, it would be too perfect

I love that excuse because I don’t ever recall any autistic people zieg heiling.

And the steam deck 3 will support those games

The Switch 1 and 2 are kind of unbeatable in power efficiency, and I’m not surprised a port of CP2077 is running better on the Switch 2 than on the Steam Deck. I wish they used a better screen and bigger battery out the gate with the Switch 2, but there will no doubt be a mid gen refresh with those things.

I think if you have a lot of money for buying games that are only going to work on one system, the Switch 2 is a better product for people that want a system that just works out the box. Steam Deck is for people with patience and an existing library.

Steamcharts showed about 150,000 concurrent players playing the game when I saw a few days ago; I’m shocked at just how popular it is as well. I think he could basically just work on it 70 hours a week for the rest of his life and it would still be a great hourly rate.

Mate, it’s one man, Self-published, pulling in the proceeds of a game that has sold 41 million copies. Even if he has made $5 per copy, that’s over $200 million dollars. The profit margin on his time even after 10 years is insane.

I have no idea why windows 11 axed that and it just makes the UX worse. It doesn’t even make it simpler for noob users.

I feel targeted

Oh they’d know. Everything at square when it comes to sales expectations is about ROI and E33 cost very little to make something better than FF7 Rebirth.

Urgh… I thought perfect dark was looking good

I think about as angry that Square Enix is that they couldn’t make an Expedition 33.

Two solo devs crushing the first two spots. Love to see it.

And typically the boycotters weren’t even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there’s a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There’s no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.

With that said, the sales were unexpectedly high. Maybe people trying to get ahead of potential future tariffs were the reason. I thought cost of living was fucked and nobody could afford anything.

I’ll be waiting for the inevitable OLED refresh anyway.

I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I’m so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.

Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.
