Before proton we used wine. And wine will continue development with or without steam.

If anything the open source community did more and gave steam a firm platform to build on.

Edit: And to add an observation steams push for Linux is a reaction to Microsoft becoming a contender in the PC games market place. Its not for our benefit anymore than for valves.

leftist as in socialism, communism, left libiterianism and what ever else raises the collective human condition.

I saw this in a few applications, I wonder if it’s a general bug with shared software code

If you’d not mentioned BG3 then more people would agree, but any game that is buggy should be refundable for sure and to say other wise is anti consumer

I wouldn’t say baldurs gate is mainstream, at least not in the same way as cyberpunk or Bethesdas games

Idk I find starfeild could even be a downgrade in some way, no ai habits like shop keepers must be on a meth bindge as they never leave they’re stores, the openish world is gone, in one lengthy mission I’d see 5/6 loading screens, usually when going from planet to planet then into the city then to do the objective then repeat in reverse.

There isn’t such a thing as modern RPGs, not mainstream anyway

I can agree, cyberpunk has a much gritter mature and well thought out world were as Bethesda titles demand cognitive dissonance

If you think its cool then follow suite youll find yourself better off. When I was younger I’d bought trash games as friends where playing online, I don’t do hype any more, if anything when I see a large marketing push I question the monitory input that’s been diverted from the development

None, fomo is a bullshit marketing word

If your willing to buy a PlayStation and pay the yearly installments to access the internet then by the end of its life cycle you’ve basically bourght a high end PC with money to spend

Fire watch

Wish people would wait to see what the game is actually like rather than blindly trusting a corporation… Consumerism sucks
