This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

That sure is a lot of people who would probably like to be able to purchase reasonably priced PC hardware.

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

Now if only they can bring down the cost of the Steam Deck and Steam Machine

[–] Bluescluestoothpaste@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

The crossplatform gaming is way better than even two years, I play games with friends on xbox or playstation all the time, no special software it all just works. So yeah im definitely never buying a conolae again lol.

Its clear that PC is the future console. I've been buying in GOG primarily, and Steam only when it is not available there and has no chance of ever being there. Even your Android TV can play light games with GameNative installed

The only issue is that Trump can cut you off from your steam library if his regime targets you with arbitrary sanctions.

[–] doublah@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That is bad but so far Players in sanctioned countries can still play on Steam, just not make purchases. Countries like Russia and Iran still have Steam players as long as their governments aren't blocking external internet.

I never got a PlayStation but I was holding out for a PlayStation 6 once it finally got released. If there is no version for physical discs I will definitely not be getting one. Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven't played in a while and then having to redownload it because you had to delete it to free up space for other games.

So much nicer just to be able to throw a disc in and go.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Or run into weird licensing issues you have no control over and the $80 game you bought no longer exists.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Or you still have the game but they just removed the sound track and changed some of the character's faces.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's funny because you describe the play station even when you have the physical disks.
