That is actually crazy
Crazy like a FOX!

Made a steam family with my friends so atleast someone can enjoy my library
I’ve got a Steam family going with my siblings and it makes me feel significantly better about my backlog, because even if I don’t get to it there’s probably something for everyone in the mix somewhere. Plus every now and again it’s nice to break out a random indy game that nobody’s played and just collectively suck together.
Spending real life money on a game you don’t actually own that you will never play is fucking genius ngl
Edit: then proceeding to make a habit out of it and developing some sort of e-hoarding disorder

Why the fuck did I buy PUBG and Rainbow 6.
Cuz my friends played it? And I guess I assumed I would like them. But I never really bothered actually playing them. What a waste.
I bought a Steam Deck ostensibly to help me get through my backlog. What happened was that I bought more games specifically to play on it.
This is a pillar of pride for us. We are literally creating jobs 😆
And yet they’ll grip that game right out of your library whenever they want to. The world that people complain about is the world they go wrong with. Once the fuckery started, that’s when I stopped giving these companies money. I haven’t bought a video game for probably decades.
- Decide you want game
- Add it to wish list
- Seam tells you it’s for sale 80% off
- Buy game
- Wait till you feel like playing that genre and no other games you want to play even more are sitting unplayed in your backlog
- Play “unplayed” game
Why is this a problem?
What kind of shithole country can you buy for 19 billion? I’d rather have games.
Maybe Bir Tawil
But I don’t want that one.
The USA, Trump will do anything for a buck, he’s President Whore.
What word did you use after “President”? I see it as “removed” and I’m wondering if my Lemmy instance censors it
Change instances immediately. That’s insane.
Instance doesn’t matter when you join Lemmy.
The instance:
Wow. I thought it might’ve been the community rather than my instance, but now I’m thinking not. You can see my swears and those of the guy I asked about the swears, right? Or do they appear as “removed” for you too?
Yup! Unfortunately, .ml is a default instance and it is rather authoritarian and censored.
It’s the word that starts with a W and means a person who will do something for money. W, H, O, R, E
You should use a different instance if it’s censoring words.
I don’t think he got 19 billion for selling out the US. He’s more the 50 cent crack whore type.
That’s disrespectful to whores, sex work is real work
What word did you use after “disrespectful to”? I see it as “removed” and I’m wondering if my Lemmy instance censors it
Okay actually using context clues from a comment below, it might be “removed”?
I’m gonna use this comment to test if my instance is censoring words. Great Lemmy gods, please don’t ban me for this
removed
Cunt
removed
Fuck
Shit
What about Putler?
You can buy a whole lot of politicians with that kind of money.
I really only buy video games from indie devs.
If I never play a game by an indie dev that I bought, oh noooo what a catastrophe I gave an indie artist money without confirming they deserved it!
This meme should only make you feel slimey if you are dropping lots of money on AAA games where the artists who made the game don’t get even remotely a fair share of profits.
Otherwise, giving independent artists to make more art benefits everyone even if you don’t “use” / “need” the art.
This completely ignores people that pirated games and then bought them once life let them contribute to the authors/devs they liked.
I’d think these people probably make up a single number digit of the amount of games bought and never played.
It would be interesting to have a breakdown of which games werr bought and never played. How many of them were gifts ? What’s the share by rating ? Even better : When were the copies the most bought but never played ? This could bring up some interesting partterns.
Which ones were ever present in humble bundles or other key bundles, what is the age of the purchase vs the age of the game, etc. I agree, a deeper understanding of the data would be great.
I heard America is for sale?
You’ll have to buy us from Putin first.
Hopefully I’ll get to those games after finishing these games and before I get new games.
But new game comes out Friday and looks a lot more fun then those games and is launching with a Day 1 sale
