While you don’t technically own the DRM games you buy on Steam, it’s a whole world different than putting games behind subscriptions.

Yes, Basic plans.

Same thing Spotify did.

Ignoring graphical aspects. It might be good game, it’s just not a DOOM game other than in name and monsters. I played the shit out of the originals and I felt with D2016 they really captured the essence of it but with just a few new simple additions to keep it fresh, then when I started Eternal it felt like I was playing a different franchise, wall climbing and grappling hooks? The pacing was all off. Maybe the dev team moved on, I dont know, but I was left extremely disappointed.

Imo, they have downgraded each time.

2016 was a great reboot of the franchise, it felt like a modern version of the originals. It looked great and ran great.

Then Eternal added pointless wall climbing, loads of skills, put the whole game on rails. The start of the game is like a tutorial for 2 hours, good game design doesnt require you to tell me exactly what to do every 5 minutes. The graphics got downgraded with some shitty AA added, probably Temporal, I cant remember and the performance was down across the board. The game just didnt feel like DOOM anymore and was a poor continuation from 2016.

Now we have this forced ray tracing, probably going to require DLSS and shit. This has to be a case of Nvidia slipping cash right? No way they would be so stupid? It’ll probably be a case of updating to remove the requirement a few months down the line.

Compared to most sites yeah, but still nothing like it was. I have to scroll 5 full page lengths just to get to the top sellers. Or I hover over New and Noteworthy, wait a second for the drop down to fade in and then click top sellers, we just don’t need an animation on it.

It’s just lots of carousels now and big oversized buttons.

Take me back to when websites were just functional like this.

I will bite. You could scroll through landscape videos with a swipe of the thumb, in just the same way as you can with portrait. I watch YouTube videos in landscape, it’s not really a hassle for me to rotate my phone, it can pivot on a pinch really effortlessly, that’s the beauty of a small screen in your hand. I am obviously not going to remount a TV for the same reason, so the analogy is kind of mute.

While there is a use case for both orientations, landscape is generally better (especially for the content I like), which is why it was chosen for video content across the world before these shortform vertical videos took off with social media. But I suppose for content where someone just talking to you, then portrait fills the screen better with their face.

So does landscape.

Lemmy.world is the worst offender I have come across personally. Lemmy.ml is reddit like too, but it’s mostly okay for discussion and it hosts a lot of posts so I don’t really want to block it.

What the echo chamber of reddit doesnt have critical thinking? Well I never…

The last price hike was really the final straw, but I still have a grandfathered subscription. If any of this goes through, I will cancel and will probably never return.

What is even suggested in the survey is absolutely absurd.

I think Steam Machines would be successful now.
