The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook

Jump

  • Appreciate you not jumping down my throat. You're right, it is a low bar, and HD2 does clear it pretty easily. But you and I both know that publishers won't hear the part about the game being fun (or they won't care). My point isn't that HD2 is bad, just that publishers will see its success and completely misinterpret why it's successful. They'll see a live service game doing well and think that people want more live service games, not fun games.

  • The real message being sent is that you can release a $40 always-online PVE game with MTXs and rootkit anti cheat and gamers will tolerate all of it if they think it's fun...

    • Steam Next Fest is currently ongoing - which demos did you like/dislike?

  • Pepper Grinder is an amazing little retro-style 2D platformer that took the burrow ability from Ori 2 and made a whole game around it. It's novel, fast-paced, and surprisingly polished! Made me wish the demo was longer than 3 levels.

    • Games with graphics resembling PS1 or PS2?

    • First time using Steam+Proton in Linux. HOLY SHIT!

  • I also struggled with getting my 8bitdo Ultimate controller to work on Linux. My solution ended being to use a Mayflash controller adapter to trick my PC into thinking it was just a normal Xinput controller, while the adapter itself thought it was a Switch Pro Controller. I've since become a huge fan of these little adapters, as they basically make any controller compatible with any platform, including Linux, so that's one less annoying compatibility issue to deal with.

    • Should I buy A Hat in Time on switch?

  • If you have the PC for it (or a Steam Deck), get it on Steam. Not only will it look and run better, Steam Workshop is full of amazing community levels, costumes, and custom abilities.
