If it's try that Valve makes 6B a year and I also image that their operation cost (even considering hardware R&D is rather small. So even if somehow they spend $2 billion on stuff, they still have $4billion each year. Let's say 2020-2025. Would that mean that they now have $20 billion on reserve?


Also going back to what some people were saying. It looks like there was more of a focus on MS buying Nintendo rather than about them buying Valve. Which I find insane considering how you have the "big 3" how ever at this point in time Steam is much larger than Xbox ( not MS) in pretty much everyway.

I've heard Valve pays very well, but given Valve's small size (like 350ish plus contractors like the people working on Linux and Tech Support) I wouldn't be shocked if they're up there with some of the most profitable companies per employee in the world.

Gabe seems to invest at least some of Valve's profits into other ventures, like Inkfish, which is a deep sea ocean research company.

Question about Steam collections.
Is there a way to not share Steam collections on different devices with the same account?.
I want to have my Steam library arranged different on Deck and Desktop but when I do something on my Desktop like remove a collection or create a new one it replicates on Deck and vice versa.
thanks.
I don't know if this works on New-Steam, but back in the 2010's I used to just delete a certain file or two and it would prevent that machines library from syncing to Steam server between my Laptop and PC. (Because I was also having issues where categorization would overwrite between the two.)

Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/(your user id here)/7/remote

Inside this folder is a .vdf called "sharedconfig.vdf" If you open that up you'll see in text form all your categories. Now like I said, it used to be enough to just delete this file every now and again with Old Steam. You would have to delete it every-time Steam updated or restarted. With new Steam though, I am not so sure...

Supposedly this program: GitHub - rallion/depressurizer

Let's you set a library outside of that file. So you could customize your deck however you want, and then use that program on PC to customize it separately.

Well that's all i can remember about it, sorry. :anguished-face:

Kingdom Hearts on Steam, A new Yoko Taro game, or me finding a girlfriend that loves me unconditionally, what will happen first???
ALL BETS ARE STILL OPEN!!
I'll be your brofriend. :coffee-blob:
Personally, I think we will get another Taro game. It's just a matter of time, annoyingly. I think that for himself also, before he fully retires from SE he would like to leave on a big note if possible.

Kingdom Hearts on Steam is the craziest... Frickin' Disney complicates things too damn much. :tired-face:

has_adult_content: Yes
has_adult_content_violence: Yes
has_adult_content_sex: Yes
restricted_countries: China, Germany

Its restricted cause its seemingly "Adult Only"

That said it has German language support so idk.
Oh that makes sense.
Porn games are all unavailable in germany.
So if the game is tagged as one, it won't be either.
Hope that's a mistake tho.

Lies of P: Have the timings of parry and dodge changed noticeably between the demo and final release?

It felt terribly off to me in the demo.
The dodge has been vastly improved, it doesn't feel any different than a souls game.
Parry timings are still tight as fuck tho, which is why i'm hardly using that mechanic.

I'm not sure if that is really disneys fault.
They would just have to nod and say yes, basically free money for them.
I'm sure that'S on square more than anything.

So Budget Cuts Ultimate just came out and it has all the content of 1 and 2. My end goal is to only have Ultimate in my Library and I will delete 1 and 2 out of my library. If I buy the "complete the bundle" for $12 will I be unable to delete 1 and 2 since the license for both is part of that bundle? I am having trouble figuring that out.

Zone of The Enders: The 2nd Runner - Mars is 80% discounted


If you get it and are kind of weird like me, think you can get updated graphic material here, since library grid,heroe and logo are not officially updated,:

It's one of my favourite missions. I did it in two tries. The first try was because I ran out of ammo (how typical), so it's a slugfest to take care of the random MT stragglers. Taking care of G1 Michigan as simple enough, however, there are two drones that is flying outside the area of engagement that my plasma missiles can't reach, so I was forced to restart the mission. :flare_lmao:

I managed to clear the mission with dual laser rifles and dual plasma missile launchers, this time with ammo to spare. :flare_bath:
Such an awesome fight. I also died several times completing it, but ended up settling on a build using the good ol' Stun Needles. Those things do a ton of damage it turns out! Highly recommend trying them out next time you want a big punch.

Though for balancing reasons or whatever you kinda need a heavy platform to use em. Tank or Tetrapod probably or else you'll be a sitting duck l while the firing animation plays

"Deleting" a app or a game is individually done and does not matter if you bought it via a bundle or not.
So yeah you should be able to do that.

Man finally got back to a computer I was logged into the site on. Does anyone know how to change my email address on here since it doesn't seem editable? My ISP shut down their email service months ago and I don't want to lose my account on here!

For actual on-topic, I have been playing Starfield a bit and I find it to be a little boring. I think the magic of Bethesda games may finally be over for me with Fallout 4, 76 and then this back to back. I'll finish the story and faction quests but the cool exploration factor basically feels nonexistent in this game with all the randomly generated shit.

Could be due to Denuvo which was added right before release.
As far as I know, causality travels exclusively forward in time; consequently, I'm not sure how the addition of shitty DRM a few days ago to the final release (which I have yet to buy, hence my question) could have thrown off my timings in the demo, a few weeks ago :sneaky:

-------

I'm glad to read quite positive things about Lies of P; the demo... convinced me to go play Steelrising instead, to scratch the Automata+Souls itch (and I enjoyed that).

The dodge and parry timings feeling off was one reason, and the movesets on some enemies, all longs windups followed by near instant hits with no tell I could see, were another. I wonder if they tweaked those as well; I recall seeing a blog post to that effect from the dev shortly after the demo's release.

Although, let's be honest, I'm such a glutton for Souls-likes that I'll play it whether they tweaked the movesets or not... when I'm done with AC6 (all endings).
