I think you're grossly overstating the impact this will have on a handful of indie games
Aquagiraffe (@aquagiraffe.bsky.social) reply parent
That's really not their responsibility at all
Aquagiraffe (@aquagiraffe.bsky.social) reply parent
If they had to consider every game that might come out they would never release.

Irresponsible? In what way?

In that case power is the main selling point. These are able to run more intensive games than a steam deck. Personally I don't think they're cost effective and I'm still just waiting on Microsoft to make windows navigable for a controller but if you're an Xbox player and are all about gamepass 🤷♂️
Aquagiraffe (@aquagiraffe.bsky.social) reply parent
Switch 2 isn't really targeting the same demographic considering this and devices like the steam deck are full PCs not walled gardens like consoles.

There is zero chance Valve wants to have themselves categorized as a financial institution and all of the regulatory requirements that comes with... You think Valve wants to hire an AML dept and go through yearly audits in every jurisdiction just to sell porn games no one was buying anyway?

Seems like they're using it right to me. He's claiming a studio torpedoed his career for the ego of another actor. That's likely to cause anger and controversy.

A lesson in making sure your game is fun before you let people play it. You don't get a 2nd chance at a first impression and in this industry the first impression is everything.
