Feel like you just want to argue, I’m gonna leave now.

And by proof, show that they are not making profit on sales of the hardware. I assert they absolutely are and will just for $$$.

Weird you’re defending $175 parking lmao.


Unless you have insider information/proof, this is just speculation and I don’t believe it based on their past greedy little money grabs. They’re going to milk it until everyone has one. There are people who have multiple switch 1s, different switches for certain games, colors, modded ones, customized ones. The list goes on. The goal is to extract money from your account to theirs any way possible.

I mean, $7/month just to backup your games. Why is there no local way to copy a fucking file?

As far as Disney, don’t care. Unless there is armed security guarding your shit, $175 is just extortion.


X (doubt)

They’re too greedy to let things go at cost now, they know parents and fans will get it anyway. Look at parking alone for disney world, like $175.

Greed has ruined companies. Nintendo won’t sell bubble bobble for NES, I have to find a used cartridge or do without. They don’t sell nor support it. So I use a rom and they cry about that. They don’t get it both ways, fuck Nintendo. I’ll never stop seeding/sharing my massive rom collection, switch games included.


Force a bunch of people to buy it now and never play it, adding to their collection of unplayed games. And to pocket money off past games again.


I never saw a major performance difference, but being able to switch windows without the game possibly crashing is great. Especially in single player games, sometimes you just need to pause and check laundry, or check email. Alt tab and good to go.

That’s the benefit I use it for. Some games force minimize when you tab off and they can crash when you try to tab back to them.


Alt tab out to other apps without the game freaking out due to display settings


We play by the same rule, everyone is weird, no judgement for immutable characteristics. Everyone has challenges, life is already hard, no reason to make it harder for someone.


How are they talking to people? My kid either hasn’t figured it out or doesn’t give a shit. But he doesn’t really talk except for IRL friends on discord.



Same. I’d probably build a giant dog park, giant playground for kids, lots of natural trails, etc. make it all free.

Build shelters for anyone to use, garages where people could work on their cars safely and out of the elements, bike repair stations, things like that.

Farmers markets with real prices, completely remove all investors and profit hell, just back to basics. Healthcare too.

Fuck a super yacht. Tells you how selfish people are, completely unaware how they got where they are.

They could spend 10k/day and never spend all their money, not even a dent. Just selfish pricks. Bring the guillotine.




Very possible. I’d pay a premium to bring over my steam library rather than getting a console and starting over tbh.


If it hooks up to the tv and has controllers, it is 100% going to compete.




I don’t need it, but not being able to do what it says with very recent hardware and shit resolutions is very telling of other major issues in the game.


You mean other than extraction? Sure, arcade like L4D series, rpg like fallout series. Team death match like Quake or COD series, survival like RUST or 7 days to die. There’s lots.


Take on missions, collect loot, leave the area. If you die, you lose everything on you. At least as far as I know, I don’t play any but have seen some escape from tarkov videos.


I bought a 3070 and a pair of 1440 gaming monitors, maybe $1000 total, and I feel like an asshole not having time to play my favorite games.



Microsoft already decided to give them for free to everyone.

Source?


Sometimes day to day life sucks, we need to escape into games we like and look past all the privacy and annoying bullshit. But when nearly all games are this way, easy to step back and go “wait a minute…”

When (not if) enshittification takes over, I’ll pirate their shit.


If you’ve got custom maps from the workshop, it can easily top 10GB


Now this is one game that will never get uninstalled from my system. Ran a few servers back in the day too. Loved the simplicity, built a new computer when l4d2 came out.




Agree. Maybe reinstall the game, see if there is any bullshit running in the background you’ve installed and forgot about that may be eating resources.

I know world war z will act stupid as hell and crash if you alt+tab out at any point while loading (can do it anytime after game is loaded), could be something simple like that.




Normally yes, but might as well blame it on something and raise the prices while everyone else.


Exactly the same. I think them using Left 4 Dead as a selling point is what ruined it. It should have just been its own game should not have even mentioned Left 4 Dead


Yeah, with L4D I can just jump in. Within 60 seconds I’m in a match and playing. It’s an arcade shooter so comparing B4B to L4D was wrong.


God I was so excited and I liked the idea of the random card difficulties, but fuck I couldn’t figure out how to get into it. Bought that shit cause I have like 5000 in L4D 1 and 2 and love them. But B4B dissappointed me so much.


One way to fix this is buy your own domain and own all the email accounts.


Man I loved sunset riders and area 51 on the arcade.



But they production cost has gone way down with digital releases, no more shipping and inventory in many cases. Can reach way wider audiences with just internet. Plus all the kids that grew up gaming in the 90s now have money.

They made $2 billion in profits in 2023 in their gaming division. Sony can suck my tiny little dick dick, and I’ll even dip my nuts in soy sauce just so they can get a taste of home while they’re at it.


Most don’t know, don’t care, just want more games.


Never video games, but I came in second my only ever Magic the Gathering competition, was probably 1998 or somewhere around there. Was a counter spell/horseshoe crab deck. Lost against a very similar deck.
