Because MS will throw any amount of losses at this to keep themselves in the game.
Plus making games deliberately incompatible with the GabeCube will be trivial if it comes to that.
Valve can throw a lot of resources behind what they’re doing, but it’s a drop in the ocean compared to what MS can spend. At the end of the day Valve can only really match current consumer pricing, and even with 16GB RAM and 8GB GPU, that isn’t cheap.
Yeah, if the Series S could have run my Steam library, I’d have got one years ago when it was cheap.
You think the average person will buy a more expensive box that doesn’t play COD, FIFA, etc?
“oh no, anyway” says man who’s country’s primary export is oil.
Does 10/10 mean it’s got RAM and drives accessible without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing?
Nice to see both aren’t soldered onto the motherboard, but we’ve still gone backwards in the last 20 years.
Many had a premium rate phone line, and it was just a tape so if you were stuck near the end you’d have to listen to the end and potentially pay many times the game’s cost.
“I want my country back…”
Yeah, so did all those places we invaded.
They’re clearly going for the same thing on all devices at some point. There’s a lot of money to be made locking shit down and keeping your users hostage.
I died sitting in an uncomfortable chair. I’ll have to pick it up again when I’m in the mood.
Hades. Hate roguelikes. Quite enjoyed that.
Flipping between Tomb Raider Chronicles and Spiderman 2.
Sure, but I don’t really want to share a reality with people who do.
It’s making them not right.
He certainly liked the N word.
Although most of it was probably his schizophrenia talking. I figure somebody who made an entire OS because he though God told him to, can’t be held 100% responsible for his actions…
Pfft, about tomorrow lunchtime.
Well they’ve just seen what happened to the last guy. They didn’t want the job themselves…
Well there is a plan, it’s just “make them in countries where you can still have slaves”.
They do that anyway, but usually prices going down.
e.g. yellow stickers going on things that will expire soon.
You’ve not lived if you haven’t watched two pensioners fight to the death over a 20p pack of Greek yoghurt.
Probably partly down to the price of PC parts. I haven’t upgraded mine since I got a 1060.
A machine that could run PS4 titles better can be a Steam Deck. A machine that can run PS5 titles better is like £1200.
And tbh, I doubt they’re selling many PS5 Pros either. PS5 graphics are plenty good enough. They run at 60fps which is all most people were after when going from console to a PC. People obsessing over the latest all singing, all dancing raytracing are few and far between. 5090s are likely being bought for AI use.
We just want games.
The UK was constantly bribing car makers to stay, and most of them still fucked off.
But if they sold you a pair that lasted for decades, you wouldn’t need to buy any more.
I’ve moved onto earbuds. Earfun Air for a staggering £22. The sound genuinely isn’t bad either, I’ve no idea how you can even make them for that. Slavery, probably. Still, £22 is £22.
