The long-awaited sequel will start as a paid early access game until it eventually transitions to the same free-to-play model as the original.

There are companies that can operate control by using the money they get from billion of customers, and other companies that prefer to use the money the take from billion of customers to teach citizens how unfair the governments are.

Those who are manipulated in favor of big corps are generally poorly educated individuals, so you can have huge number of that people, which translate in both social, economical and political power.

The point is not Valve, which me or you can respect and enjoy as company, the problem is that laws affect everyone. If the laws favor predatory companies, Valve has either adapt to be predator or being extinguished.

Extremist as defined by who? Valve lets the customer decide what is too extreme for them, which is how it should be.

I think is best also in your interest, as consumer (and human being, if you aren't Zuckeberg or Bezos) if companies are called accountable for the crap they spread just to make investor happy.

You may like Valve for their way of business, but the law doesn't work per persona: what it allow is a allowed to everyone (generally and depending if you're in a theocracy, oligarcy etc.)

I don't think people shrugged off on Concord because poor quality such as bug or inconsistency. Concord was a fine Overwatch-wannabe that went for hard-sci realism (not as interesting as stylized/cartoon as TeamFortress2 and Overwatch). Pubg had realism, but it was the original trendsetter. CoD aside (which has its own historical fellowship) how many other multiplayer GaaS went successful with that sort of realism as Lawbreakes.

In few years, you may find more useful your kidney rather an HD that can hold just 3~4 copies of the latest CoD

That's pcgamesn: sometime they don't even put the actual title of the game they are talking about... or even a game in the same genre. They go something like:

"This not Fortnite game, may look like Assassin Creed, but you must be in a Resident Evil to believe it: even Kratos from God of War would say no... just like that random NPC in Red Dead Redemption from the same publisher of the incoming Grand Theft Auto Six (or GTAVI-please notice me sempai Google-Seo)"

Not everyone remember that the actual first Metal Gear was a microcomputer (PC before it was cool to call that) exclusive... on the MSX2

You get the lemmy crosspost link, and thus Lemmy discussions, from modern source; instead the combines history of all Lemmy posts from years ago.
