I just made a group in Signal that only I am a member of, and I take notes there

You know the R in GTA stands for ‘Respect the player’s time and progress’

I actually have SR3 on GOG! I must get around to play it someday…

“Outdated mission structure” just triggered something in me. Last gta I bought was 4. Got fed up with “new mission: drive to this faraway place and do difficult thing, if you fail restart from the beginning of the driving bit”. I abandoned 4 at that one mission where I had to lay siege to a skyscraper under construction and I kept losing the shootout and had to drive back there again. Kinda stopped playing, lost interest and never went back since.
Edit: just remembered that there was a mod to add save-anywhere to the game, I even tried that but couldn’t get it to work and that’s where I gave up.

Maybe it’s just me but I can’t recall any occasion where Valve said “hey devs, here’s a pile of money but you’re not allowed to sell your game outside Steam”, have any examples in mind?

Ah Tim, here we go with the “look how brutally honest we are” schtick. Yeah gamers dislike the launcher, but it’s not even about that; it’s about your business practices. Did you forget the part where you took the worst pages from the Xbox/Playstation book and tried to build an exclusivity platform on PC? Trying to buy devs with massive handouts and buy users with free games? We remember, Tim. We remember the Metro Exodus launch and the rest. Personally I can’t do much more than to deny you every single cent I can, but please be assured I’ll be doing that, and I’m pretty sure I’m not alone. I don’t even have an account with you to pick up free games because that’d be one more account that legitimizes your shitty platform. Go bankrupt at your earliest convenience please.

My vision of the future doesn’t have Mark Zuckerberg in it.

OK let’s clarify it Nintendo, whose console it is really? Mine?

Or the Pontiac Trans Am?
