I think we can all agree with the ign urinalists that this game crosses the line

I actually had a nightmare where I was watching one of his videos, and he started undress and show off how hairy his chest and back was, was looking more like a bear than a man, he even had dreadlocks lol
Valve is hitting back, with a new clause in their contract that would make devs to choose between releasing on Steam, and other storefronts if they want, or be out of steam for good.
Seems like a smart move, I guess they are counting on the non-sustainability of the Epic model.
Video has offset to the meat.
Valve seems ready to not license CSGO to exclusive tournaments (those that would forbid teams to compete in other events)
Contrary to what I said in the indie topic, I have been playing
South Park The Stick of Truth with my partner… We are loving it. I wasn’t expecting such a rich, deep game. Of course reference to the show were expected, but when you get the occasional line, which is actually a deep cut from the show… I can’t stop laughing.
also playing Ryse Son of Rome (PC) and Gears of War (1) (X360)
A thought on that

The one good thing that would come from a used market would be the death of G2A, why would you go on there when you’d find the games on steam directly
Quote from Squad25 minutes ago, Squad said: You can resell a DVD though. Your comparison doesn't hold up.
No I think it does.
Games are software, and the EULA that comes with it states you are getting a license to use the software.
Afaik film on DVDs don’t have such a license… although they have tried to make it the same.
So yes, game keys are much more alike a film or theatre ticket than a film on DVD.
I might not like the price of things (in fact I don’t buy anything on Day1/full price) but I think it’s fair to the devs.
Dunno if I’m missing something… let me know! I’m actually very surprised to see devs siding with such a demand 
Quote from Buddy18 hours ago, Buddy said: Sorry dudes, but it kinda makes sense to be able to sell a $60 game steam or no steam. Especially when you can't just install it, sell and keep playing.
Well no, this is fundamentally and conceptually wrong (licenses).
You can’t resell a cinema ticket, hell you can’t get a refund if you don’t like it.
Quote from Buddy59 minutes ago, Buddy said: Kinda sucks for the devs but I would like someone to give me a valid argument of why you can't sell a digital game that costs $60 vs a retail disc that costs $60 (in both cases its a transfer not a copy or duplicate).
???
There’s no valid answer except: you can’t prevent people to resell a physical object*.
Thats why digital distribution started in the first place. Yes GabeN would say it was to update the game and make them “services”, but the first motif for devs was to circumvent the second hand market.
*You can of you have DRMs in place, Microsoft tried it and we’ve seen how it ended.
The problem is a fundamental cultural misunderstanding: the average Joe doesn’t understand the terms of service, like I said in the quote above.

Don’t mix oranges and apples. The problem with Brexit was a misrepresentation of what they wanted, why they wanted and how to implement. Which is a shit show.
There are also good things that come from the EU, above all laws to protect the environment.
Anyway we probably don’t want to go down this line.
In the meantime Valve has update the game lots, and in the latest they have introduced a huge thing for those that want to study the game deeply: live grenade trajectory preview
Was going to post this when I found out yday…
I think that behind a very pro-consumer initiative, hides lots of ignorance and misunderstanding of the media.
I would really like to see all developers pull their games from the France marketplace to avoid the reselling.
There was a talk on VR at Digipen, and the technology discussed is believed to be the infamous HLVR title that has been dug in content releases
Remedy teasing new content. Among the upcoming DLC, there’s a very mysterious/intriguing thumbnail that clearly recalls Alan Wake’s art/title.

And of course, grab props and toss them.
All these are upgradable too.
Yeah what I mean there are no special moves alike Max Payne.
I didn’t even know it was coming, was such a surprise when I saw the first trailer (just a month ago?).
Stephen King on a roll, seems like he’s cashing as much as possible before retiring lol.
I wonder if we needed this movie? (Not sure if he’s written a sequel book??)
@PogoP From the videos I’ve seen, you can only levitate/fly and I think dash(?).

Congratulations!
How did the transition work? You applied internally to a job opening or sort of just floated to the new position because you showed interest and skill?

I'm starting to think people that play and review games for a living eventually just see the stuff behind the curtain and are incapable of enjoying anything.
I think he only had compliments for A Plague Tale, but yes, I agree with your overall point. I think you get more knowledgable, you understand better design system and get more critical / less naive. You hardly get impressed and honestly lose complete focus of the target audience. I mean take a step back and think how many of these AAA games are intended for teenagers. Imagine it’s the third game you play or something… you’d be blown away so easily.
20th October
There are videos of different runtime, from almost 50 min like Kojima was teasing in the tweet, and other are 35 min… I’m on holiday with no WiFi so can’t check the video quality or what it actually show unfortunately
