sooner or later they'll get rid of the trial pricing, but until then it's a better value than even torrents.

Cojawfee posted:It all stems down to people running giveaways years ago and then some crybaby crybabying because they weren't allowed to enter the sweepstakes to win something because they weren't willing to go buy a taco or whatever was required to enter. So now you have to offer a free entry via the mail. And even then, I think there are some states where you just can't do a giveaway at all. It should be illegal to require people to spend money to enter a contest. Period.

There's so much stuff I'd never pull the trigger on but end up trying on Gamepass and loving. This year that included Tinykin, TMNT, Hardspace Shipbreaker, Slime Rancher 2, Trek to Yomi, Vampire Survivors, Nobody Saves the World, Archvale, State of Decays, Metal:Hellsinger, Power Wash Simulator, Grounded, Somerville, and currently chewing through Dyson Sphere. I do Bing rewards and haven't bought Gamepass since loading up years ago. It's insane.

Yeah plus you only need one or two games you like to be worth it. I bought it for a month and beat signalis and deathloop, that was worth it.

If you value portability, the Switch and Steam Deck are great. If you don’t, they’re overpriced underpowered junk. It has more to do with your lifestyle than the devices themselves. I don’t really want to play complicated console games on my 15 minute coffee breaks at work. But I can imagine those devices are life changing for overnight security guards or IT people.

I'm a GPD toucher and like my clamshells. Even the WM2 is just more easily portable than a deck. Not nearly as ergonomic, though....

Except the Deck's controllers don't feel like you're going to break them off the rails at the slightest twist. You're not with the Split Pad Pro, but it feels like you are a lot of the time.

It's easily the best portable emulator that currently exists. It can also easily install all the other game stores. I have EGS installed on it and it works fine. The whole thing has a Linux shell you can freely access and do whatever you want with it, and there's a shitload of third party dev interest and support.

And fraction of a minute spent looking it up instead of being insufferable on the forums might make it add up to 28 Double Dragon Advances!
