This is being blown out of proportion. These sorts of terms are pretty standard for a closed playtest, as it doesn’t represent the final product and the developers don’t want reviews to be published criticising things that will likely be fixed for the release version.

I really don’t get the hate for VR.

Valve these days don’t make things just to make money. They only make things that interest and excite them. HL3 would most likely just end up being more of the same, which isn’t exciting from a designer or developer point of view. They need a hook to get excited about it, and until that happens it’s just not worth the time or effort to do. In the meantime, they’re making plenty of money from Steam sales.

The Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 did okay for themselves with non-square pixels.

So what you’re saying is you were part of the problem?

Dinosaurs without feathers.

You can’t understand why you need to be a bad guy in a game called Grand Theft Auto, where the main focus of the series is stealing cars and building a criminal empire?

Aside from semantics, both are crimes with the same outcome.

“If you’re concerned about paying for something, just steal it.”

Was there any actual proof of this, aside from someone posing the question on Reddit because of high CPU usage? At least give genuine reasons.

I imagine everything you see in the trailer is in-engine footage, even if it’s not being controlled by the player. This has always been the case with GTA trailers since GTA3.

Not that it’ll ever make enough of a dent in their profits to make any difference anyway, but this could also swing the other way. If nobody buys their games because they’re bad, the impression those in control could get is that Pokemon games are no longer profitable rather than there being a need to make them better.

If you’re not making extensive use of your Humble Choice discount in the store, you might want to consider canceling each month that you don’t like the games instead. I cancel every month regardless, then throughout the month I get emails offering increasing discounts on the current month’s bundle, until I eventually get an offer for one month for £4.50 a couple of days before the current bundle ends. It’s resulted in me getting twice as many games for less than half the normal monthly price.

I really wish more people knew about and played Tabletop Playground. It’s much better than Tabletop Simulator imho. It just needs a marketing push to get the players.

You forgot Tabletop Playground. It’s a much better implementation than TTS, but sadly doesn’t have anywhere near the same number of players currently. It does have a large number of community mods though, with most popular games already implemented. It’s also great in VR.

Without GPD and others, there likely wouldn’t even be a Steam Deck. They really paved the way and made the case for handheld PCs, which proved to Valve that there was a market worth investing in.

It depends on what you mean by better. GDScript is better integrated into the IDE, with C# really requiring that you use an external code editor currently, but both languages have very similar capabilities.

You can work in C# with Godot too.

Yes, this has already been debunked by multiple sources. Not sure why they’re regurgitating this nonsense again.
