Why is steam being killed by AI?
Yeah that doesn’t make sense at all
People keep blaming AI for the steam machine pricing but nobody is forcing the semiconductor and memory manufacturers to raise their prices. Most of the ram capacity is held up in non binding agreements. Furthermore most likely the ram manufacturers are artificially raising their prices to cash in on the AI boom.
(Yes AI does play a massive part here but they’re only half the problem).
Plus, VALVe knows that people will defend anything they do and purchase anything they sell no matter the cost, while saying that VALVe is just a small indie company that needs their personal money.
Genuinely, half the shit VALVe gets away with would be talked endlessly if any other company did it. VALVe stans are the Disney adults of gaming culture.
capitalizing the company’s name like that kind of makes you look silly
On one hand: GOG is unfortunately having a case of the ultranationalists. On the other hand: we still have Itch.io, Zoom Platform, and GameJolt, so that’s something?
itch.io’s been bad for creators especially queer and nsfw ones. source: https://transnews.network/p/i-feel-violated-queer-creators-lose-livelihoods-in-itch-io-bans
before anyone jumps in to say this was visa/mastercard or collective shouts fault - no. itch.io could’ve communicated with the creators, given them notices, and information. have public announcement on what and why. they didnt even inform most of the creators their content was removed until it was manually checked by them
Nintendo should be shooting their fans
So accurate
Microslop should be the ones instructing everybody else how to murder their fans. “Hey, charge for online!” “Don’t give free stuff!” “Anti-competitive? More like fuck you!”
But that’s what they’re all doing, so Nintendo could just as well shoot itself in the face.
