Oh ffs, can we please keep gaming and real world bullshit away from each other?

I’m also annoyed by the fact that there will be at least some number of people dumb enough to fall for this
On the upside, it's just a matter of time before someone actually publishes a picture of a "soldier" in pink camo holding a Hello Kitty-patterned rifle.

Good for Gaben if he decided he wanted to remind everyone how much he hates EGS and the people puckered to their pie holes for cash injections without saying anything direct about EGS, so brave of them.

Meanwhile we are now having porn parodies hentai games on the front page of Steam and nothing is done about it

You know, Gyro, you seem obsessed with hentai games, and look for any opportunity to bring them up. What's up with that?

Old grudges and habits die hard. It is just a natural evolution from a personal gripe I have with the import and localization scene a while back when good Japanese games was passed off overseas localization while bad ones get localized

Difference is this time around we are seeing EGS using exclusivity as a weapon and Steam giving EGS fuel for the weapon by making what would be shareholder unfriendly decisions since any publicly traded companies will tell you allowing porn or adult material is a good way to lose payment processors.

And now in turn of EGS and their allies saying they are trying invest in NFTs. Steam is going to do the opposite and say NFTs are bad.

Probably because he enjoys some of them, but is too insecure and full of himself to admit it. Someone doth protest too much and heavily overcompensates. I never see these games he's constantly crying about being on the front or top of the Steam page or list. Then again, I don't use Steam that much nor seek these games out. Either Gyrobot is consistently seeking them out, or he's is that unlucky. I highly doubt this case is the latter.

Because NFTS are fucking bad and damaging to the environment. If you're siding with EGS just be petty, and you are, or honestly believe that NFTs aren't harmful to the environment and sensible humans everywhere, then we have nothing left to the discuss. You're being a petty jerk losing a forever war where Steam will never die. Like I said a 1000 times already, I heavily dislike EGS and I don't see Steam as the de facto "good guys" either. I would still take Steam over EGS any ways, because they fucking try.

While some of that is true, you admitted back in 2020 that most of it was your own fault for buying the bad ones in the first place. You clearly had the money to buy the good imports, but chose not to do so. You have no one to blame, but yourself. I'll tell you the same thing I told you in 2020: get the hell over yourself and move on. You constantly whining about shows you have not moved on and still let it control you, despite claiming otherwise, Gyrobot. You're not happy, you're still miserable. Because you keep trying to stick it "the weaboos/racist anime nerds" that like this stuff, but constantly defend the negative aspects of the medium. When in reality, most of them sensible ones or the ones on the opposite of your coin don't care, and tend to keep to themselves.

If anything, those devs that make the type of games you now despise, still have control of you, but don't even know you would exist, nor would care. They would either ignore you, or tell you whatever and do something else more important, if you hate their games that much. Or better yet, "You're not our target audience!"

I don't side with EGS so much as understanding the situation right now between Steam and EGS is if Steam does something, EGS will take the opposite direction because that is how they are trying to compete with Steam. I don't support EGS so much as seeing how their business practices are made. And their strategy is to do what shareholders tell them to do, and trying to be ethical is a path to have an injunction filed to say you are not fit to run a business. There is also the issue of the ESG which Epic wants to stay on the good side of while Steam doesn't have to worry because of their status as a private company so far.


I would like to live in a world where all business practices can live in harmony but we don't. That is another reason why I don't like porn games on Steam because that is the biggest target you can paint on someone as payment processors make it as difficult as it can for adult entertainment.

See, these guys are quick to action, transparent to consumers, and actually address the main issues. Those OTHER guys on the other hand....

Hopefully it’s an easy fix, and not related to the other issues they’ve been working on with the netcode. What leads me to believe there’s something to that is, this patch was dropped after the record number of users on Steam occurred; something that isn’t really a factor in review code. Also, the PC version didn’t have a network test, so it’s not surprising most of the issues are showing there now.

Haven’t read all the details, but are the performance issues regardless of online vs offline mode?

If I will be frank, part of it came from hanging out in left wing forums a lot and agreeing with the opinions of people more woke than some of the people here and have a problem with how problematic some Japanese content can be.

Embracing the left wing's views on the problematic nature of media and trying to be woke is also what kept me going.

The way you posted before says otherwise. We've been telling you how much bad news Epic was since 2020. Regardless, I'll still take Steam over EGS any day. Any time, any where.

That is another reason why I don't like porn games on Steam because that is the biggest target you can paint on someone as payment processors make it as difficult as it can for adult entertainment.
That sounds like less of a Steam problem, and more of an adult entertainment problem (be it movies or games). And still does not answer my previous statement or question. Are you actively seeking these games out, or are you just that unlucky they keep showing up in your Steam recommendation? I know these games, exist, but I don't care. As long as a kid can't access them, which we know they can't, then we're good. Most kids are even interested in adult games. Too busy with Fornite, GTA, Read Dead 2, Roblox, and Minecraft for that shit . All the more funny, because GTA and Read Dead have sexual content. More so the latter. Before you start, I know most kids don't bother with the single player, but my point still stands.

If I will be frank, part of it came from hanging out in left wing forums a lot and agreeing with the opinions of people more woke than some of the people here and have a problem with how problematic some Japanese content can be.

All of that is on you. Stop trying to be "woke", and actually be a decent/good fucking human being. All you are doing is enforcing a stereotype racists and sexists made up, because they don't want to feel bad about being assholes nor have any conscious. This game of who's more "woke" than the other is another dick measuring contest, no different from ultra conservatives, or the section of gamers that act like constant assholes. Being "woke/anti-woke" means nothing to me, and is just another set of terms to divide people. Terms made up by a bunch of stupid and foolish old men and women, who don't want treat other not like them with respect or dignity.

So how about you get off your fucking high horse and stop with the nonsense?! No one is telling you should play any of these Japanese games! If you don't wanna play them, more than fair. But just fucking stop! Stop it! You've said nothing new at this point, and have been ranting the same thing over and over again! These games are always going to exist. Don't worry about them and spend more time spreading the word of better or more interesting games. It's what I do. Most people know what they're doing when they make these purchases of what games they want to play.

This is the last time I am ever having this conversation with you on this. Now you have a good day, and do something joyful (that does not require taking the piss on an audience that likes specific types of games you don't). You will be all the more happy for it; trust me.
