Seriously. And they didn't even bother to censor the C word. Truly despicable behavior.

Ultra rich tech bros have the money to get a new and likely better house at any time as well, you're hardly affecting them.

Okay, question: What do you want Valve to do about their "monopoly"? You can't blame them for providing the most useful service while their main competition all collectively shoots themselves in the mouth. They aren't out here abusing their "monopoly" to increase prices or drive away competition. In fact, they're often cheaper due to better and more frequent sales. So what do they do about it?

That aside, they're literally not a monopoly. By any actual definition on the word, they don't meet the criteria to be a monopoly. There are other companies like Epic or GOG that provide the same games for the same prices that are easily available at all times online. Sure, Steam has more in the form of Early Access games and such, but again, it's not Steam's fault that their competition doesn't provide a decent platform for devs of early access titles.

I agree with the cat thing, at the very least toss that shit at the bottom if you really want it in there.

There's also a lot of mods that start with images of reminders to like the mod, or even just words in image form so they can spice up the page visually. I understand them, but they really suck for the steam workshop hover descriptions because then all you see is a plain text link. Or in the beta's case, you see nothing. I hope steam can work around these somehow, maybe by slipping links entirely in the hover description or something.

As for the broken mods stuff, eh, it can be useful to keep broken mods around. Some games let you go back to older versions (RimWorld comes to mind), so the outdated mods have obvious use cases there. They can also be used for visibility. Say for example, a mod breaks and somebody else makes their own updated version of it. The author of the broken mod can link to the updated mod in their description. Which can help people that had subscribed to the mod before it broke.

Disappointingly, still no list view option. No compact grid option. And no ability to see mod descriptions without hovering over them first. While a step up from the classic page, it still feels like a massive waste of space.

I also noticed that hover descriptions wont show at all if the mod's description starts with an image, which a lot of mods do, but that's probably just a beta problem.

On top of what the other person said, Lutris allows you to install windows games very easily in like 3 steps.

You click the + in Lutris, and then click either "Install a Windows game from an executable" if it's an installer, or click "Add locally installed game" if it's not. In this case it's an installer, so you'd click the former. It'll then ask you to give the game a name, where you want it installed, and then where the downloaded file is. Then the standard windows installer will pop up.

At that point the game will be installed, and you can right click it in Lutris to play around with settings if you'd like. Notably, you can change things like the wine/proton version in the "Runner options" tab.

80% in the MCC, wow, that's insane. I love Halo, but I think I'd go nuts if I tried to 100% it. Halo 2 LASO would give me nightmares lol.

It's hard to say exactly because the games have a very different weapon set, but if memory serves, Halo 2 has a higher TTK in general than Reach does. Maybe you're getting the jump on your friends more often, and they just have a longer chance to react in 2 than in Reach.

OP, you upload AI slop and crop out artists names every time you post. If you want a community that appreciates your actions, you could not be further from that place. I'm glad you feel unwelcome here, because to many of us, you are. Please go back to reddit.

Maybe if they skipped their Starbucks every once in a while they'd be able to afford their insulin.

Just wanted to say I really like that first screenshot. Something about the angle, the colors, and even the poses, it looks very cool.

I'm more of a "grab everything and get rid of the stuff I don't like next time I play" kind of person. There's just too much DLC to look through for me to really find what I like, figure out how their systems work with each other and actually feel to play, etc.. I'd rather just experience it first hand. Though I will say that if I like a DLC enough and it doesn't cost too much, I'll buy it. I think I've done that with Nemesis and Utopia so far.

Fair enough, that is an option. I meant if you specifically want the whole package. Nothing turns me off of a game quite like going to the store page and seeing $300 worth of DLC to go through. Though, many of those DLC are almost just as expensive as the base game. More expensive if you consider the sales the base game has.
