GamesMoviesDeals: The PC crowd has long had to suffer shovelware, badly-ported games, pretentious indie publications and the tyranny of free-to-play, pay-to-win online monoliths. Considering all the software balancing, hardware tinkering and budget management just to keep up with (or stay ahead of) this generation’s consoles, you have to wonder why us keyboard warriors keep going without succumbing to the simplistic joy of the console.
I like to think it’s because every now and then, we get gems. Stellar little games that become classics in their own right. So that’s why, when these classics return in new and improved formats and sequels, it pains us to see how far their creators have fallen – be it to appeasing simplicity for the console ports, the wallet-draining greed of the DLC machine, or even to pure and simple laziness. So let’s sit together and lament the comebacks that ruined our favourites forever.
Fan projects Team Fortress: Source 2 and Portal 64 have shut down after Valve intervened in their development.
First they open Steam up to more AI, now they are shutting down fan projects when at one time they used to support or even give the fans jobs.
Wonder what's going on with Valve at the minute.
There's potential that Valve had already planned to bring Source 2 to TF2 officially after Counter Strike 2. It's been getting some renewed attention lately.
You got Nintendo to thank for Portal64 being taken down. As for TF2, most likely it's due to the probability of Valve working on a source 2 port themselves. It's sucks but Nintendo are the biggest pricks in the business and not letting this drag out into a huge court drama is the best decision.
Valve has updated its stance on AI games on the Steam storefront, allowing creators to publish AI-created games.
Hell no. I want games that have been made by creative minds who have a passion for their craft, not a bot with a penchant for plagiarism.
So instead of paying for an engine and assets to create a game they are paying for an engine and assets to create a game.
Valve has officially warned against inhaling the Steam Deck vent fumes in an official response due to potential health hazards.
Wow people will huff anything nowadays some people just have way too much time on their hands.
Another reason to love the PlayStation Portal, no chance of breathing in noxious vapors.
Get a Steam Deck they said, to which I reply, what are you high?
Those greedy bastards! How dare they make money!
Payday 2 has $131 of DLC and a crate and key system. They make EA look generous. And were supposed to be excited about The Walking Dead game. Why? So you can ram more DLC and microtransactions into the game. There is a reason I havent touched the game since 2013.
Do people not realize the consequences of buying this crap??
Also isnt it nice to have a website with every game on the same page and not get bombarded by ads??
Delete your shitty website and stop making controversial articles. Payday 2 greedy? Where's Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed and Battlefield? dafuq is this?
Yea payday is real bad in the dlc department. Friends and I picked it up but when they started releasing all the dlc we said nope and just torrented it. We still play on tungle to this day because it can be a lot of fun. The continuous dlc really ruined the game as a whole.
