I get washed plenty in Subnautica already. Sometimes also eaten though

At that price, it would be a steal even if the sub only included access to a cloud gaming service: it is $15/year Stadia except you don't have to purchase games (and you get better games than Stadia's).
The lesson here folks is to not buy years worth of subscriptions from a studio that has a spotty track record on PC
I didn't get such a vibe. I don't think it's out of line to ask someone if they're not using Steam in the MetaSteam thread.
I thought it was a steal back then, these days the service just makes me angry. Problems with PC Game Pass and xCloud having awful latency. Console game pass works thanksfully.
That's what I thought when I wrote it. Weird to be active in a Steam thread, but not using Steam.
Almost like "I thought this was the Steam thread".
I don't know where you got the idea that I was not using Steam though.
If that is because I mention xCloud too much, then I will tone it down.
This is understandable. I think I have spent 3 € for my months of Game Pass so far, and got more out of it than Humble Indie Bundle 2.
Thank you for reminding me there will never be an aquaria 2...
Reminds me of the chuckles i've had lately when people were lamenting that game rental is not a thing anymore and i almost posted "What do you think GamePass is?", lol.
Maybe after UFO 50 releases in 50 years.Thank you for reminding me there will never be an aquaria 2...
Gamepass games not working sounds just like the good old times when you'd rent a scratched disc
You guys really need to wait for the next build conference /s 
And you can always look on the bright side. Microsoft incompetence in delivering a working store is a good part of the reason that the whole UWP and locking down the OS wasn't as much of threat as it could have been. Try to imagine a "world" where they didn't let Steam leapfrog them so much and delivered a good locked down experience. It's... not a nice thought.

Can't say I agree personally, and we all know this is the main general thread on this site, non-Steam chat has never been discouraged whether it be game pass or gog or anime or whatever. And besides it's clear that Wok uses Steam; it's weird to now seemingly justify purchasing/playing habits.
But I've said my bit on this, I'm not saying more.

I had completely missed the anouncement back in July that it was getting released on Steam/EGS/Windows store.
Now we just need to wait and see what sort of ridiculous pricing they put on it.
I see. I meant that:
- I use more xCloud than Steam these days,
- I try to hold off purchasing stuff in the meantime.
Plus, most games available on PC Game Pass are also available on Steam, which means we have a common interest when it comes to new releases.

I have bought a Steam game 2 days ago from Humble store, so may I get my PC gamer card back, fantomena ?
I have proof of purchase if needs be. Before you ask, I have not purchased any anime. I don't know if this works in my favour or against my case.
However, there can be periods of times when I don't purchase or play much. Sometimes I am just interested in data. I will try to keep quiet if this happens. No issue with that.

Awww, maaaaaaaan. I remember when he announced he was stepping down. Sad to see him go. His mods and help pages got the og Saint's Row working for me on PC many years ago and his Gentlemen of the Row mod-pack was essential to me. RIP IdolNinja.
To be fair, last one is all up to you because there was no way in hell Sony was about to announce a PC port in such a big event xDMy Gamescom make-up is ready.
the rest of those? yup. U_U
Yes, deal was made at the same time as SR3 remaster, expect 12 months exclusive.
Pre-ordered the Halo limited edition Xbox Series X
Also hype af for Marvel xcom

2 episodes in I can confirm Quake is a good game. They seem to have some talent, those guys at id.
Hahahaha that price.
Hahahaha that price.
Why ? Fantomena already spends 90% of his posts talking about Game Pass.
In all seriousness though, and I have to balance my way of phrasing it because this shit has annoyed me for a few days and I'm not in the healthiest mood. The day you enforce this gatekeeping bullshit and take this Steam purity test seriously is the day I'm out.
Isn't PC all about choice?
Why are we chastising people for not using steam "enough"?

xCloud isn't PC. That's like saying Playstation Now is PC just because you can access it on PC like xCloud.
Game Pass PC is however PC.
Use whatever goddamned client you want, so long as you find it acceptable and it does what you need it to do at a price that’s good. There are more important things to worry about, like when the hell is P5R is coming to PC?

I have looked at post history, and I think it is mostly in reaction to my recent posts about GamePass/xCloud. It is true that I mention GP too much, and I believe that he has a defensive reaction as if I were trying to force him to use the subscription model. If I tone it down, I am confident that he will as well.
Subscription models and cloud gaming can be seen as threatening for the future. So it is a natural reaction. We have options now, and I guess fantomena thinks his current way of consuming media is jeopardized. I don't think it is true, but I can understand the fear.
It is just that it is such a great deal for me that I am enthusiastic about it.

lots of stuff is pretty much done and unnanounced at this point .... just the internal planning of companies is mess
Aaaaaaaaaany day now, alongside Sakura Wars and Judge Eyes
[HIDEREPLYTHANKS]
I'm not happy of the precedent with this suggestion of seeming walking on egg shells frankly, plus you don't really mention it that much.[/HIDEREPLYTHANKS]
I think I'm addicted to Tetris Connected
[HIDEPOSTS]
I can understand that, and I appreciate your reaction.
However, I don't like drama in general, and I don't need some in my life nowadays, so I would rather aim for the most peaceful resolution.[/HIDEPOSTS]
Here are links to the 4 games which I am most looking forward to. Crossing fingers for UnMetal this summer.

LET PEOPLE ENJOY WHATEVER PLATFORM THEY LIKE, FFS.
So catching up on the announcements this evening.
TMNT Shredders Revenge is looking like a must have. Also love the addition of April O'Neal. Hope it plays as well as the old arcade game (or at least as I remember it playing).
Saints Row is not overly impressing me at the moment. If I buy will depend on the options in the character creator. Also not sold on the new gang members.
Lego Star Wars, well it has been a while since I played any of the lego games and I used to love them. May give this one a go.
DokeV looks kind of interesting but coming from the Black Desert Online devs has me worried. Is it going to be Grind Heavy or open those wallets like BDO.
And finally looking forward to the Valheim Update as well.
New Marvel game surprised me, being Midnight Sons. Used to love the comics they did for that series and always nice to see Ghost Rider get some love. While I would prefer Danny Ketch/Johnny Blaze (just love the bike riding Ghost Riders) I won't complain about Robby Rayes version. Just a shame there doesn't appear to be the Punisher in there at the moment.
Will be interesting to see what tomorrows Announcements bring.

They gonna sell these in a store in Cologne tomorrow. One per person. Regular retail price, nothing on top. Don't need one but still would drive there and partake in the brawl if it weren't too far away.
Fuck that hippie noise, if I see someone in here enjoying Stadia there'll be a clobbering. We gotta draw the line somewhere.

Yeah, I totally bagged on the MCU element of Marvel XCOM a couple posts ago.
But I just watched the trailer and it was kinda badass.
Guess I've been so fatigued with Hollywood MCU over the past decade that it's bled over to gaming side.
With that price, they are out of their mind.
It seems that I will be forced to pick this up because it has Japanese support, whereas the NISA version does not.
OP
OP
Gonna start posting my Fortnite skisn then
Wasn't the info for this that it's not really XCOM-like at all?
fuck cancer
He did so much for modding scene of the SR2. Fuck cancer.
Me too!Pre-ordered the Halo limited edition Xbox Series X
Also hype af for Marvel xcom
Now I've to find a reason to keep the preorder as a pc gamer....
If that's what makes you happy, do it.
There's no wrong choice.as long as they make the right choice
I generally agree with the sentiment that XCloud is not PC gaming. Same for Playstation Now, Amazon Luna, and Google Stadia.
None of them do any of the things that define PC gaming and make it distinct from console gaming. If it was, then you could make an argument that me playing PS3 games through a capture card in 2007 would also have been "PC gaming".
That doesn't make it "wrong", but more fitting for the console thread than the Steam thread IMHO.
(Side note: personally I'd say rent-remote-hardware stuff like Shadow is PC gaming, or at least PC-gaming-adjacent; Geforce Now is a bit borderline after they reduced its flexibility)
GFWL games were just Win32 games with an annoying online system (but one that actually worked while MS was supporting it). When it was around -- and of course, after they gave up on making people pay a monthly fee on PC (which they are now achieving) -- it wasn't actually that bad. It also had working achievements at its release more than a decade ago (hear that Tim?).

From my perspective, GFWL was actually better in most ways.
