People "justify" Valve, I don't think there's need for that (justify a big corpo, I mean); Valve don't want to deal with the hardware business side of repairing stuff; yeah, it's their right to do so: but this also tell us Valve isn't mature enough as hardware company, and you can't expect them to mature in this direction if they (also) don't get serious into providing affordable repair service.
This tells me: Steam Deck 2? Maybe... Steam Deck 3? Unlikely. They will push for an "alternative OS".. and will lose for lack of focus (Microsoft can easily kick them out with the Windows industrial's weight). As far I can see, they are not committed to hardware, no other OEM will do this for them.
(Look at how Google has been consistent with their 'Google Phone' throughout the entire history of Android: they know it’s foolish to rely only on 'OEM goodwill' and stop there. Google Pixel devices were better than Windows Mobile and the 'DualBoot' Android/Windows... that’s how Google beat Microsoft in the race)
I understand wanting to play an old game, but why would you want to jump through hoops to run it on old hardware?
It's just a feel that some nostalgic collectors have: they want to handle the real hardware thing to put together with the software. (yes, I know it sounds naughty; no, I won't take it back)
Good point, added some context to the headline
Weird to ear criticize France don't randomly step in and the actual issue here: Orban remove their whole country from the International Penal Court so he can globally shine for allow possible war criminals on their soil, isn't?
Which nations refuse to adhere to International Criminal Court?
Title fixed, no idea how could I slip that. 🫥
Just to be clear, I didn't mean that 20€ is the right price... honestly I think that if they put the 20$ price tag, it would be still too expensive. If you take a look here you can see the industry standard for online-only games free and paid (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo don't share this data; but I think Valve is the overall winner/standard for the last generations of the gaming industry)
I don’t even understand what they mean…
Something on the line "We wish we could charge you the 80$, AAA, price; hoverer, we didn't implemented decent AI bot for you to play with/against... so we need players themselves to do the job"
TL;DR: 20€/$
Roblox, aka: the money Epic wants
