So many features, goddamn. Bunch of social things:

I’ve blocked the instance quite a while ago. In the beginning I was just blocking communities, but the users spill everywhere unless you go nuclear.

State actors could be interested in doing that. Same with the internet archive attacks.

I agree that there’s nothing wrong with remixes. Vampire Survivors dude invented a new genre and all, people who say these games are “copying” Vampire Survivors probably also say that every FPS is copying Maze War lol

Death Must Die was indeed fun. Soulstone Survivor is pretty good too.

l don’t understand people who think there’s any meaningful comparison between Diablo and HoT.

HoT is a vampire-survivors game, and in my opinion is the actual best in the genre, I have dozens of hours in it. This type of gameplay has absolutely nothing to do with ARPGs.

I agree that forced exclusivity is bad. I absolutely disagree with your statement that ubisoft store was better than steam, I don’t even understand how you can say something like that. But yes, without the games any store is worthless.

You didn’t respond to my question though, so I’ll repeat it: even if someone was able to launch a product with feature parity to steam, why would anyone migrate?

I was gonna comment about epic giving games away for free, but I think I got your point. You mean like the same releases, but subsidizing, say, 10% of the price?

Assuming that a company could hope to achieve a store front with similar features in a few years instead of the 21 that steam had, why would anyone migrate there?

I’m on the same page as you, it’s tough. I have no idea how any other platform can really achieve competitor status with steam, and this is a big problem for us consumers and for developers.

no common sense allowed in this thread, sir. only AI hate bandwagon please.

I don’t usually like snarky dismissive comments, but.

That’s great news tbh. I’ve tried going back to the game multiple times over the years, but since you can’t reset your progess/start a new save, I get overwhelmed by everything and give up.

Oh no that’s terrible. Which pharmacies are doing that so I know the ones to avoid?

I really hope you’re just having a bad day and that you don’t actually engage in conversation like that usually.

No one in this thread is arguing for that, it’s literally just you screaming it and calling everyone an incel.

It’s amazing that you’re such an illuminated parent, and no doubt a blessed human being who doesn’t suffer social pressure, but your point is meaningless/harmful as it ignores the reality that most humans and parents suffer from social pressure.

Not sure you’re arguing in good faith, as the answer to this is apparent. Of the long list of harm cellphones and social media bring to children, having a few children with cellphones within a social context (school, etc) would bring the harm anyway.

That’s called “lying” or “misleading”. We don’t need another word for that, we do, however could use with the actual meaning of the verb “to gaslight”.

Great comment, but how is that behaviour “gaslighting”.
