“Cyberpunk is cheaper on PS5 than PC due to secondary market” Literally free on PC.

I mean, they’ve been trying it since gen 7, I don’t know how it’s a major surprise to anyone who has any interest in console gaming Anywho, as someone who was primarily a console gamer when I was a kid, getting a gaming PC was probably the best gaming investment I’ve made; the experience is just way better in every way

I really don’t get this outrage thing. Outrage because all eggs become expensive? Yes, because they are close to essential, or at least very important for a lot of people’s diet, and they all get more expensive. Outrage for some game platform shenanigans? Don’t give them your fucking money.

We shouldn’t take for granted how open and customizable PC gaming is. If things had gone the way Microsoft wanted we’d be paying a monthly online subscription for games with P2P matchmaking and every single one would need to be purchased and installed through the restrictive and utterly useless Xbox store.

I just left windows for Linux. With all the new development it’s pretty great.

I started using headcrab updater to install slssteam and ensure steam is held to the latest compatible version, and move installed repacks to the steamapps/common/game location for more seamless usage. I have this working on my bazzite steam deck (haven’t personally tested steamos but it should work) and my cachy desktop and even VR works without extra stuff this way since some recent steamvr updates made pc to standalone headset not suck in linux. Even if you aren’t a pirate pc poweruser Slssteam also lets you bypass family library usage restrictions and everyone can play one copy of a game at the same time, including online gameplay. I did a few rounds of slay the spire 2 where my brother and I each played 2 characters to test, and a friend did a solo 4 player this way as well.

Maybe it’s time to petition politicians in jurisdictions like the EU and Brazil where third-party app stores are legally mandated for mobile platforms to stop exempting game consoles from this regulation. If Sony were forced to allow Steam/Epic/GoG on the PS6, it would make the platform a lot more consumer friendly.
