People will never be satisfied with awards. Let the community choose? You get popularity contest. Let the review outlets choose? Then you get only a certain kind of games to win the contest. Steam is very community focused in most of their recommendations and in this case, awards. This has ups and downs and sometimes its stupid. In case of RDR2 who knows what the reason was why they chose this game. It might be an attempt to troll in mass. Or a misunderstanding.
I take awards as one kind of view and never in isolation. Context matters. So I ignore those where I think it is stupid awards, like Starfield and RDR2, and look at the other candidates. And the other categories as well. And then move on with my life. Just like with the other award shows. Who cares what game won what award? It rarely impacts my choice.
They started out pissing off Steam users with Metro Exodus going exclusives and pulling it from Steam. Not a great first impression and a lasting one at that. Not everyone will care and will buy from epic, but alienating a whole bunch of Steam’s core users off the bat is probably going to ensure they’ll never win them over.
I claim games from epic and have bought from even origin and uplay, but I’ll probably never spend any money at epic.
It would be less disrespectful just to leave the steamdeck version equally fucked than to openly slap people in the face with "it's arbitrary, but fuck you".
AND NOW it’s come out he was ALSO during the same period sexting a transgender sex worker for private cam shows in exchange for partner status on Twitch: x.com/iqkev/status/1806236733727555604 After receiving said cam shows, the Doc promptly blocked her.
I’ve spent $160 on Elden Ring (base game on PC and PS5 and I have the DLC on PC), and have spent 638.5 hours in it just on Steam. That’s about $0.25/hour. Even arcade games aren’t that cheap anymore!
17 after being groomed for ~3 years when dingus tried to meet up and the parents went loud with twitch. Grooming a 14 year old girl is generally considered in bad taste.
The wonderful thing is all the achievements tied to the DLC that’s already not purchasable. Tough luck if you want to 100% it now and haven’t bought the dlc.
(Which I don’t have. Sad face.)
This is pretty common racing game happenings though. Especially AAA titles.
My mistake. I tried to purchase Ultimate edition in the past and it wouldn’t allow me to since I already owned the game. Guess they were trying to force buying the DLC piecemeal.
It is purchasable now. Just get the “You won’t get an extra copy of the game.” error.
To add to what you are saying, I wish they would make that message clearer. The first time I saw it, I thought they were still going to charge me for the extra copy and just not give it to me. Still not 100% sure about it.
It’s like publishers want people to pirate games. We know that’s surely not true, but their practices seem to make it the only option to appreciate the entirety of the game, and eventually the game itself.
