I have no intention of getting in the LTT drama or whatever, but the dip in quality in the last couple of years has been felt. I talked about this with some people and said that they were doing way too many videos through way too many channels and that's something apparently being pointed out.
2017: Eat the rich
2023: Tax the rich
whenever this game comes out: BEAT THE SHIT OUTTA THE RICH AND THEN ROBIN HOOD THEM FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Who says video games aren't political
this game literally says you should wall jump and bodyslam yer local businessman into the concrete and then robin hood them into the poor house

Looks like the amount of user reviews for BG3 has basically doubled since release 12 days ago. It was around 85k iirc and now well over 160k.
Larian said the game sold 2.5 million during early access so we can estimate they are at about 5 million now. And of course the game will continue to sell for years so I think a rough estimate of 10 million lifetime on PC is a good guess. If they can get about 5 million on PS5 and Xbox plus other future consoles like Switch 2 etc.
So we are talking of a possible 15 million lifetime sales give or take a few million. Really incredible for Larian. They go from kickstarter and early access to making one of the best and biggest games ever. The next game they make will be massive. I wonder what kind of plans they have for dlc or expansions. And if those plans have changed now with how successful this launch was.
Also if someone was ever to acquire them in the future the price just went up lol by a lot.

Isn't this a terrible change for many countries now?Steam :: Steamworks Development :: Updates to Steam's Minimum Price Thresholds

While there's always some ethically questionable funding associated with large corporations, equating that to being directly funded by bonesaw money goes a bit too far IMHO.
I.e. I would not be surprised in the least if Lars Wingefors isn't a nice guy, but he also doesn't represent a suppressive religious fundamentalist oil regime.
Yup
Check the comments.
While fortunately not drastic, still no reason to get excited about raising prices
not only that, but also suddenly hundreds of games and DLC just disappeared from various regional stores and can't be bought there anymore until devs update prices, and we all know a lot of them won't bother, so this change effectively removed lots and lots of games and DLC from sale
Wow, rare L from Steam store.
I can't imagine why they particular idea was implemented.
I'm still holding out hope that Harebrained Schemes is secretly working on a World of Darkness CRPG.
Hopefully after their current game we will see something from World of Darkness. The fact that we haven’t had a decent RPG from there since Vampire the Masquerade seems criminal to me.
If the concern is over transaction costs can't they just force a minimum payment with any additional payment going to the Steam wallet?Steam :: Steamworks Development :: Updates to Steam's Minimum Price Thresholds

that would be a better choice than just nuking hundreds (if not thousands) of games and DLC from all the poor regions
tbh the fact its "Early Space exploration" instead of "galaxy wide society wher humanity is still somehow on top" makes it much more interesting to me .... casue its not that usual of a setting thx to ... well you guessed it ... people want to bang blue aliensI just can't get hyped for Starfield
BETHESDA + Space game with no aliens?
Unsubbed from Linus. That thread from Madison was rough.

It would probabile be seen as unfair because It would tie the user on their platform one way or another
But again im not a lawyer so its just an ignorant assumption

The difference between the steam banner art and trailer thumbnail art is amusing.
I could be off base, but the YouTube thumbnail looks AI generated. It has that generic anime look associated with AI art and the fingers are kind of funky.
Yeah, thinking I unsub from LTT when I get home from work.
Just read that thread from Madison and, well, it’s grotesque.
It's too hot. It's even too hot to play BG3. I keep refreshing 2-3 threads and, well, that's all.
They talk about 40c for the weekend. Halp.

1 day after preload! nexusmods going to be flooded with new mods.
because PC fucking SUCKS LOL
I can think of two reasons:
- Microsoft believes Steam's encryption isn't safe enough
- Microsoft wants us to buy the game in their own store instead of Steam
I assume the latter, since I believe that Microsoft using Steam is only temporary to get PC gamers into their franchises.
Probably just means the early review version will be the console version for outlets. Steam preload is still kinda early if you don't count the premium edition access.
not sure if true but some sources says it's coming soon mandatory to 𝕏
How long until X is banned in the EU or sued for breaking GPDR? I say 6 months.
The Windows Store preload is also the 17th so I think it's one of Valve's policies.
