There’s a lot of power limitations that Valve put on the Steam Machine to prevent it from getting warm or needing to speed up the fans (making it louder). It’s part of why the Steam Machine doesn’t perform well compared to similarly priced computers

Heat is definitely not the issue

DDR4 is still relatively addordable right now and works fine for gaming

You push back by switching to PC (preferrably Linux) and never giving Sony a single cent ever again

I’d imagine indies could release “special editions” with physical SD cards sent out for collectors and fans about a year after release. There’s some indie games where I’d definitely buy that.

And even if the cartridges didn’t have DRM, so what? They already made a lot of their money

I don’t get why anime studios almost never try to keep the art style of the source manga. There’s been so many times that a manga with a unique artstyle with an anime that looks completely different, usually bland af

Heads up, pretty much all AMD gpu’s are more of a side grade for an RTX 2080. That being said, I made a similar jump from a RTX 3070ti to an RX 9070XT, so you won’t get any judgement from me

I don’t think we will see a comeback of physical releases for PC other than as a collector items,

Sure, but you say that like it’s a bad thing

If the files are DRM-free as they said, then there’s nothing stopping backups. I don’t get why you’re trying to paint it as an either/or thing

But a SD card with a custom label in box with proper box art and a little art book inside would be cool for fans and collectors.

Essentially Switch cartridges, but PC

Tbh, popular indie games could probably use crowdfunding platforms post launch to do it

What I’d like to see is good selling indie games doing a “limited edition” or “supporter edition” 6 months to a year after they launch. Have it be a physical box, with an SD card or Blu-Ray with custom art, plus various bits of merchandise.

Essentially, get them to make pre-order or limited editions after the game already launched and garnered goodwill instead of trying to front load all the greed.

I’d definitely buy copies if games like “Sea of Stars” or “Ori and the Blind Forest” did this

Unless you’ve paid for extended security updates for W10, I’d recommend making the switch soon.

And hilariously ironic

The whole r/egg community and its offshoots are just gross.

Way to ignore half of my comment

I’m not calling you an apologist, just…think about how your brain did that.

Go fuck yourself. The fact you’re willing to type that proves you’re an asshole, and I’m not even surprised you turned out to be like that

At no point in your previous comment did you say the word “team”.

You really put your foot in your mouth with that one.

Keep talking Timmy. No matter what you say, people aren’t going to flock to you shitty store

Tim, don’t you have more important things to do than astroturfing on Lemmy? Like not enshittifying your company?
