I installed it without GeForce experience when it started requiring the account sign in. No login might get me to use it again so I can update drives without having to go to the site to do it manually.

They can try but normal people don’t have time for more than one live service game. So it’d need to be amazing to convince them to give up the live service game they are grinding the hell out of already.

That’s how I was with Spiderman. Played through the entire game with the original face so that is the Peter Parker I associate with the first game. Little interest in the remaster as a result.

It ended up being more powerful than I thought it would be. I thought I’d just be playing some retro 2d games and really old 3d games, but it ended up running some new titles better than expected to be able to play them on the Deck.

Awesome! So happy transition is so painless.

Update: Export and import worked perfectly. Device name, device ID, and all folders I was syncing got picked up.

Did it transfer over your folder setups so you don’t need to set it up manually?

I wasn’t open to it before but I’d love a steam machine. It’d use it on my other monitor like I do with my macmini.

Same news all the time.

Bullying is good.

Poor hdr support is one for games and shows.

Pause games is a essential plugin that solved the sound issues I had with suspending games.

How is that even measured when you see big budget games with DRM flop and games without DRM get crazy sales. Do consumers who pirate but are willing to pay full price for a game even that significant?

Wonder if they’ll attempt a Sonic movie type visual make over.

Yeah, the first map area is small and kind of lifeless and I think like 3 hours long? Some don’t give a game longer than that, but the entire game took like 300 hours for me to finish so it was very small portion of a very long dense game.

I guess because I never played TF2 back then my experience of games having predatory gambling mechanics was mobile games with the f2p and low costs pushing towards different ways to monetize. Seemed inevitable once mobile gaming exploded and makes up a larger portion of revenue than PC and console gaming making other companies want to copy it.

First few hours can seem slow with the early map not being the most exciting, but if you make it through the huge world opens up and things start getting much more exciting.

When I played I printed out a side quest list to try to experience as much of the game a possible and checked off ones I completed. Side quests are amazing and better than the main quest as opposed to being the usual fetch quest with a weak or no story.

Companies can charge $60 for games and people will buy it. Doesn’t mean enough people will rush out to buy it to actually be a good price. Too many options now, and not all games have the demand to have people pay whatever.

I will treasure my PS4 copy. And it’s actually one of the few games where 30 fps isn’t a big deal due to fixed camera angles in the original.

Pvp games are more likely to leave me feeling angry after a session compared to single player and coop games where I’m more often ending the session happy.

Tim I’m against corporate control blah blah blah.

Great news there is this platform called Linux that could free you from the corporate over reach of Microsoft you could try to push in hopes of the future.

Nah don’t see the short term money in it to justify it or to bother investing resources into it.
