I can agree that challenging Steam is probably a good thing, but right now Steam just gives so much more value to Devs and publishers. Steam provides:
and that's just what I can think of, not including the player specific stuff like library sharing.
Devs and publishers pay more, but get a community and ecosystem in return instead of just a platform.
Love ya, Steve.
The problem really is the servers. There was a golden day or 2 just after the 3.23 patch launched and before everyone jumped on after hearing about it where things were running so well. Right now the servers are overloaded with people back to check out the big patch and new players from ILW. When the servers get full and errors start building up is when things get nasty. Their server meshing in 4.0 can't come soon enough.

What a fantastic characterization of Kyle Katarn
If you liked the despecialized editions, you might like 4K77, 4K80, and 4K83. A gift to purists.
Remedy has earned my trust from years of bangers. I'll happily hear them out. Besides:
Remedy also confirmed that Condor will be a “service-based fixed price” game rather than a free-to-play title.
If everyone can rave about how great and fair Helldivers 2 is with the same business model, then they can give Remedy a chance.
Once in a while I think of Star Wars: Bounty Hunter and remember how much fun it was. It hasn't aged well, but I hope a new Mandalorian game can capture the same kind of experience.
Superficially I guess. The difference is Jesus' blood was given freely by him in direct contrast to the Old Testament bloody sacrifices. Lam of God and all that
Most residential bathrooms I've been in have had sinks close enough to reach over. If it's not close I'll pre wet TP and set it somewhere within reach. If there's nowhere convenient to place it or it's a public washroom I just don't do wet.
There's no simple answer to that since games become inaccessible in different ways and with different severities. It'll always be an argument you have to make.
