I know you’re just stating a fact, but that doesn’t stop it from being stupidity.

Aww, tiny puppet man thinks he’s a hockey player.

Everything reminds me of her

You’re right, my experience as a sous chef does make me a perfect fit for that chief of surgery job I saw advertised. Imma go for it.

You can drink raw milk in a hot tub with him shirtless though

how often they’re right/wrong does matter.

That’s the wildest take I’ve heard on the question answering machine.

I’d much rather steal this cutie than a companion cube

Does conflict of interest not exist in the US, or is it encouraged to get yourself elected and just be openly corrupt?

Why not just declare yourself a massive wage straight from the budget?

Yeah, but which one?

But which of their rich whites are they sending?

Were you hoping for fun guy dicks?

The Crew was great in its time. It was basically the bridge between Test Drive Unlimited (superior open world gameplay) and early Forza Horizon (superior driving physics). Later Forza Horizon games simply took all the good gameplay features from both TLU and The Crew and is unmatched in quality now.

The Crew 2 was worse than both its predecessor and the competing Forza Horizon at that time, so if you were talking about that I’d half agree. But it’s still a problematic industry trend worth stopping.

As long as you can do six.

I think it’s called GrainPass

This unlocked some really nostalgic memories of Sony Online Entertainment for me.

Nintendo really did decide to jump on the Xbox Live band- wagon without really implementing any of the perks.

Very true. These things do still exist for a lot of games. It lost popularity a lot on CS due to the incessant need for “competitive” matchmaking, but they are still out there. Rust is a good game for heavily modded servers (if you like the game concept in the first place) and I think Arma (which a bit more niche) is basically all community servers, ranging from in depth military reality to role playing much more mundane stuff.

And this is why it was successful and still exists to this day.

excuse the fist shaking at the cloud

Kids these days literally want everything for free and don’t care that microtransactions and other monetization has pervaded every aspect of games.

Horse armour, man. Never forget the horse armour. Kids these days love horse armour.

Because Steam wants your business. They offer their services in exchange for you buying more games on their platform. Initially they made these services for their own in-house developed games on the platform.

I don’t think they were similar at all. I loved the Dreamcast, but being able to play laggy games of Chu Chu Rocket on dial-up is not really a comparison to the dedicated servers, closed moderated ecosystem with chat/friends etc. that MS created. And that’s just comparing to the early iterations of Xbox Live.
