        that’s the day you download all your game catalog to disk and cancel your account, of course

          Or hope that GoG finally created their Linux client, although it has only be requested by a quiet minority of literally every single suggestion on their community wishlist.

          For the love of the gods CDPR, please, finally realize that Linux users are you main customer base.

    The “bluescreen” was actually a bunch of hints at Portal 2’s announcement at E3 later that year IIRC, but whatever.

      They could have talked about windows 8’s closed ecosystem and UWPs, but I guess this is easier to point the finger at.

      Valve is motivated by money. But their strategy is to make excellent products, that put the customers first. A rare sight these days.

        I think the the main reason is that they’re private with no intention to go public. They’re not beholden to random shareholders who know nothing about games and just want infinite growth, their decisions are actually made by people inside the company.

      Hahaha thanks for this. I really find it fascinating how bad CEOs make lemmy think all companies are bad. It makes no sense.

      Blame the system maybe, I get that. But good grief we are all trying to make a living. The only way to do it is to do business. Like any system, it will be exploited, but I’m not gonna shit on private companies especially who clearly have a vision and don’t need investor snobs to drive them to commit evil.
