clayh,

Wild because games in the $20-$40 range have been killing it the last couple years.

Maybe instead of charging more, big developers could spend less on overhead and bureaucracy. Palworld is made by 4 guys and has sold more in a few weeks than most AAA releases last year. Hifi Rush, cyberfunk bomb rush, subnautica if you want examples out of early access.

Maybe instead of gamers getting used to higher prices, game publishers should get used to lower sales until they wise the fuck up.

lol “the smart move is to make 2 games before you release one”

No shit

Any other nuggets of wisdom? “The even smarter move is to make 3 games before you release one”?

clayh,

Not really, the onion is good satire while your comment is hot garbage that you pretend is satire because you realized how asinine your original comment was.

The smarter move would have been to release the onion comment first then release your original comment after you had some upvotes.

clayh,

Sorry. Sometimes I do this thing where I treat people defending idiots like idiots themselves.

Nothing personal.

clayh,

60fps is decent unless you have a 120/144hz monitor then you should shoot for 120-144fps

clayh,

Valve’s hardware strategy up to this point has been to push into new markets via hardware innovation. So I’m very skeptical that the hypothetical successor to the deck is a more powerful version of the deck. They’ll let other hardware manufacturers push those limits and reap the benefits via software sales. The deck was exceptionally successful in that regard, it’s literally opened an entire market segment.

Whatever the “Deck 2” comes to be, I expect it will be poised to capture a different market segment, possibly AR/VR or even modular handheld hardware (totally unfounded speculation), but I sincerely doubt they have much interest in releasing a more powerful version of the same thing every few years.

Who knows, though. Valve’s gonna valve and the only thing they do with any consistency is change things up.
