So explain why violent crimes plummeted when PlayStation and GTA came out. It’s lead poisoning from leaded gasoline. We cut that out and it’s been trending down. If violent video games have any impact, it’s likely to reduce physical violence instead of increase it.

If you’re presented your Steam games from inside Xbox app, they will present asa game from the Xbox service.

Buying games from Steam is braindead simple, so not sure what you’re on about there. Can’t get much simpler than punch in billing and CC info once, add games to cart and checkout; subsequent purchases is even easier.

Isn’t that misleading the consumer? They will think the games are Xbox games and not Steam games. They will come to resent the 2nd launcher, aka Steam, and Microsoft’s EEE will be complete.

Yea same here. I am actually looking forward to CS Legacy.

Same except I latched onto CZ and found a scouzknivez community. Then WoW happened. Then I got dragged onto CSS and ended up running a clan for a while. CSGO and 2 never had an appeal for me.

1.6 relies on community hosted servers, 2 relies primarily on centralized servers and queueing mechanism. There are changes to core maps. Changes to weapons. 2 very much has the features you would expect from a modern game. 1.6 is very bare bones, but highly customizable through addons; each server can install their own addons and make the user experience unique. Hopefully this 1.6 remake will keep the server customizability intact.

Anyone remember Noob Saibot?

I think that will come about the same time they bring out custom maps and VR…never.

Considering they completely broke SteamVR for Linux, I don’t think we’ll see a Deckard, at least not one that is Linux based.

Bans on CS2 shouldn’t result in the loss of the account

I hope they have a VR version like the first one. Playing it in VR is a whole different experience.

"I’ve had numerous conversations with the LT of Nintendo about tighter collaboration and feel like if any US company would have a chance with Nintendo we are probably in the best position. The unfortunate (or fortunate for Nintendo) situation is that Nintendo is sitting on a big pile of cash, they have a [board of directors] that until recently has not pushed for further increases in market growth or stock appreciation.

“I say “until recently” as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo and I’ve kept in touch with [ValueAct CEO] Mason Morfit as he’s been acquiring. It’s likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us.

Recent advances in density uniformity have helped fiber optics and phone screens. Saved you a click.

For everyone commenting outrage, a very reddit thing to do btw, why not try reading the very short article and try some critical thinking. Lots of bad habits from reddit have made their way over to lemmy, can we at least try to RTFA?
