I hope it continues that way. I’ve seen some recent news on the idea that games always looking bigger and better doesn’t actually make better games or even make people want to play. I think that’s illustrated by the success of the steam deck.

The other part of it is that it makes steam approachable to people who otherwise would never think about a gaming PC. A few weeks ago, my partner could not have told me what steam was. Now, she takes my deck to play baldurs gate. The ease of access, price, and versatility can not be overstated. She literally said its her favourite piece of tech, which is a strange compliment from someone like her. She hasn’t touched her switch since. She told me I can play stardew while she plays baldurs gate.

The steam deck is the best thing to happen to gaming in a long time. My partner and I fight over it because we only have one. It actually got me back into gaming in general for the first time in years. I have a ps5 and an Xbox series s and a switch but i hadn’t played in years until the steam deck. I really believe that the steam deck and things like it will change the way games are made. Its wild stuff.

NFTs in game. Said they had made the first AAAA game. Then the CEO said gamers have to get used to not owning games, which pissed a lot of people off and was an incredibly dumb thing to say. Ubisoft seems to be very much out of touch with gamers.

They also had their most recent assassins creed game have a choice between a black man and an Asian woman as the main character, so some Gamers™ are upset about that I guess.
