Yeah I wasn’t entirely familiar and it’s not anything I got upset over (again, my fault). It’s just weird because they know I never installed or played it until I asked for the refund, and by nature of software, 14 days doesn’t mean I could have broken or destroyed it or something.

The game was the Grandia HD Remasters. It didn’t even occur to me to scrutinize compatibility on Deck when I bought it because it’s just a 2D JRPG from the PS1 era that supposed had been modernized.

I was denied a refund for a broken game on Steam Deck just last winter. I had never played or even installed it, but I had purchased it and let it sit in my backlog too long before trying.

By comparison, I can’t recall a single time I’ve been denied a refund request from the iPhone App Store. They’ve also never sold me software that couldn’t run on the hardware they also sold me.

I understand how it’s my fault according to steam’s ToS, but it still doesn’t seem right to me.

Microsoft does with their Xbox, though. Don’t they?

Broadcasting spoilers to an audience tuned in to an unscripted live stream play of an unreleased game on the Internet. I don’t get the impression spoilers were much of a concern in the first place.

He literally could have contributed to lost sales from potential buyers watching the games before they were released.

By allowing consumers to be better informed of what they might have otherwise purchased?

I just watched a YouTube video that taught you how to cheese the combat system by winning a clinch then poking the face with a sword or bashing the head with a mace. KCD2 has kind of forced me to switch it up a bit, which I appreciate.

I have no interest in a hardcore mode though.

My friend is looking to pick one up after that fromsoft game comes out. I might grab one then as well so we can play together, but I’m more in it for Metroid and whatever the Zelda team cooks up.

I was introduced to MH with Freedom Unite, then convinced to jump onto the World bandwagon, but it wasn’t until Rise that it finally “clicked”. It might have been that I discovered I am more a Light Bowgunner than anything else, but I enjoyed the heck out of Rise, then discovered I actually love playing LBG in World.

Unfortunately Freedom Unite is still a step too far out of “modern streamlined” for me to really enjoy, but perhaps if I tried LBG there as well, I could finally find a way to look past all the inconveniences.

I’d rather ride an Airbus than a Boeing anyway. Boeing makes me nervous.

Opt in means they’re building up the infrastructure to make it opt-out when nobody is looking.

Video games, and Zelda especially, should only be for rich, privileged folk. Poor people need to work 3 jobs if they want to play games in all that free time they must have.

How much were they 8 years later?

If they owned Mario and Zelda, you can bet your britches they would be.

I bought a physical copy of BotW while I was living Japan. My Nintendo account is U.S. My copy of TotK is Digital to boot.

Fuck me, right? lol. What an ass hole I am!

I replay OoT and MM at least once a year. I can see myself replaying these new Zelda games at some point and enjoying them, but I won’t likely pay $90 for the privilege.

It’s the U.S. equivalent of cheap N. Korea propaganda videos.

Well just end up back here begging consumers to please use specific, non-corporate distribution forks of Linux rather than just Linux in general.

I just wish I could have my own personal AI that I could plug into everything, so I don’t need to subscribe to a bunch of separate things that are otherwise stupid for subscribing to. Something I have complete agency over and can run offline.

The black samurai dude is already prevalent in Japanese pop culture. The folks going around saying that’s the problem are just confused and dumb. There’s no real issue there The issue lies in how things are portrayed that make the game look not distinctly Japanese, but more western “Asia wonderland”. I lived in Japan for over 10 years, I have Japanese family, so I pick up on some of this. It definitely gives the vibe of a Canadian studio did as much “Japan” (TM) as they possibly could without having to actually go there or consult genuine professionals on cultural nuance or visual identity.

I say this as someone who has only seen promotional materials and not the game itself, though. So the game itself could prove me wrong. And I don’t care if you enjoy the game or not, I’m just sharing why it kind of turns me off.

TIL: “slams” = “warned”
