This is true. Above is my initial reaction and I'll leave it to show what it looks like when you get more info and reassess. Not so sure I trust the company, but I do appreciate the openness about them not getting the license.

There's a part of me that thinks they're hoping their fans lean on steam, but steam is so much bigger, and both of them behaving reasonably at this juncture isn't likely to get a witch hunt started.

i won't fault valve's IP infringement team for missing one infringing product in a sea of [i'm not bothering to estimate] infringing products

it's the fact that it's a companion cube [valve™] for a valve [valve™] video game [valve™] console [valve™] being made by notvalve™. if it was just a t-shirt on redbubble they could probably fly under the radar, but this is too close to confusing the consumer. like, how many people here automatically assumed they had valve's permission? which would imply some sort of partnership with valve, just by making the faceplates?

ideally that's the kind of confusion IP law is supposed to prevent. how it's used vs how it was intended is another can of worms (and idealism versus pragmatism is a fun argument don't get me wrong) but we can pretend for a little bit.

like, there's Coke trademarked to Coca Cola. no other soda or drink gets it. But in smelting and ironworks? There are a ton of coke companies. Because coke isn't soda in smelting. There's no confusion.

tank you for spelling it rite

Yeah. This is the kind of response (as far as i can tell: open, honest) that makes me want to buy something from that company in the future. Like, you legitimately can't buy this kind of public relations. It sucks for the business, but doing the right thing by your customers gets you repeat customers. You can't get brand loyalty through a commercial.

you don't have an eidetic memory?


boil them in gallium!

Just take solace in your local library

I feel seen :3

Yeah I was thinking of just grabbing a steam machine for my next box instead of a framework or something. If this pricing isn't stable for the next, idk, decade? Probably not.

They hate it just about as much as the non-statesians here hate this article

I play music and grow some mean artichokes. Like they have thorns and everything they're delicious. Willing to trade sass for butter

Yeah, we saved for a week, maybe two I don't remember. I finally saved enough money and my wife bought it as a birthday present for me last year how long was that since release? A couple weeks right. Doesn't really matter, my friendly local public library has enough cool shit in it to do that I wasn't wanting for fun. Unless there's something specific that's ps5 exclusive you want to play, just get a ps4 and a library card. It kind of feels like blockbuster.

Nice accuracy and precision on those estimates dude. It's hard to get that shit right

Gamesir G7 Pro 8K

i mean my G3S is still going strong so i'm covered, but like they made a sturdy controller. I just have to reset it after marathon sessions as it will freeze after being on for like, practically all day.

Thank you. I've been grinding ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 instead of trying to play whatever I was trying to play on cemu. It was one of the Zeldas.

I haven't opened cemu in like a year. Am I good?

do you believe in the heart of the steam decks? ARE YOU READY TO DUEL?

If it didn't win all the music awards I would be cranky

garfield i told you to get off git

ooo, ten years ago prices
