A popular streamer Lirik revisited the game 4 months ago and it was completely chocked-to-the-brim with bugs. Like literally every few minutes there was a bug, including several immediately when he began the game.

Man, their videos actually took a huge hit after the fiasco huh? Seems like they went from ~1.5-2.0 mil views each to ~1.0-1.5 mil

Gambling for JPEGs on a screen that cannot be resold and will be taken from you at a moments notice. This is a billion-dollar industry btw. God people are stupid.

Ever hear of "Chase Two Rabbits, Catch None"? Reminds me of George R. R. Martin talking about writing the last two ASOIAF books at the same time. Just... finish your fucking product please.

Games are the only software I purchase these days

Is there anything stopping something like connecting your credit card to GNOME Software Manager and then putting a big fat "donate" button next to the "install" button? I imagine there are legal considerations.

Seems like a very rushed launch to try and meet the "Summer" deadline (which they still missed by a week of course). Valve didn't even update Steam Rich Presence so it still says you are playing "CS:GO". The store page doesn't have the right video on it, there's no special graphic in the store or anything and the game banner hasn't been updated. Lots of cut corners. For some reason Valve has been going crazy lately, they also released the Dota compendium today, SteamOS 3.5 a week ago and SteamVR 2.0 just a few days ago. Makes sense they missed some stuff.

Games have actually gotten cheaper over time adjusted for inflation even as production costs have risen, it's crazy. A NES game in today's money would be around $160.

This is just CS:GO finally evolving from the CoD brown-tinged visuals of 2007-2013

Counter Strike has been the same game for 23 years, basically every new game is an "update". Porting the game to Source 2 is the single biggest thing that has happened to Counter Strike since 2004 when they moved from GoldSrc, so might as well brand it as a new game.

Do you just look for things to get mad at? This hasn't even been implemented yet. Even if it had, it would be opt-in. And even if you opt-in, the data is all anonymous and you would be able to see exactly the data that gets sent out. If Fedora or anyone else really wanted to spy on you, I assure you they wouldn't let you know beforehand.

Obviously that's a stigma Capcom is trying to break through. Most phones/tablets these days are even more powerful than a Switch, yet people pay $60 for games on the Switch but not on phones?
