It seems like the people behind PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS are really cashing in on their success, by releasing a spin-off:

I wonder how angry the guy who made that must be, he makes $30, game just ships his work and sells a couple hundred copies, gets thousands.

I don't know, it seems less like quality control and more like Steam's trying to cover their asses (sorry, couldn't think of a proper sex joke as it's late here).

Yeah, Steam is probably not the place to sell porn, but as you say, this is probably Valve covering their asses, rather than realising having porn on your storefront that's frequented by most kids with a computer is probably not a good idea.

It's like that GTA walmart thing, stores can and should decide whether not to sell that poo poo for whatever reason and you can adapt to that or sell your bad content in porn shops. I guess valve decided they want to peddle porn too now, and from seeing all the other terrible poo poo on their store (hi thread) they didn't care about their reputation anyway, though I have to admit this is a new low :shrug:

I'm not saying it's a cause, more of a symptom, though I do admit 'calling the police' is definitely histrionic. Someone far gone enough to get off on that kind of power fantasy needs counselling, not prison time :shobon:

Achievements don't even add to your steam level, so there isn't even that primal instinct to make numbers go higher going for them :psyduck:.

Like I like achievements when they make me do weird poo poo (except EU4, gently caress you Sunset invasion I wasted far too many weekends trying to get you :argh:) or reward me for doing something hard but whether or not a game has achievements isnt going to be the be all end all for me, theyre at best a nice, tertiary feature to work for. Key word, work for, if it is for just doing poo poo like beating the tutorial then I'm not going to care.

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.

Maybe it's because I'm on the spectrum, but I cannot get past the last panel of this comic. Like, it's kind of predictable, the joke, but it's funny as it is...yet... what's with the last panel? It suggests that the other guys playing D&D with him beat the poo poo out of him? Like, enough to give him an eye so swollen that it's black and shut. That's not funny...that's just weird. A sudden, random act of violence. I don't get it.

It's like, a punchline by itself isn't funny unless also someone gets beat up.

They're exaggerating for effect and readability, dude. It's not high art, but slapstick has been used as a cheap laugh for centuries. The getting beat up is the literal punchline. Cut the holier than thou crap.

I think this is a you thing actually, I'm on the spectrum and I can tell that the violence isn't random or undeserved.

Go to any game with those and you'll see that something like 10-20% of players don't have the "complete tutorial/press start" achievements. There may be glitches keeping it from popping, but more often than not you'll find players start the game up and never even play it.
