  • I probably can’t help with the hardware part but want to clarify just in case:

    • are you looking for an officially licensed one or just anything? I’m guessing the latter based on the “cheap” requirement?
    • are you looking for a gift or just a way for her to play those games?
    • if it’s the latter, does she have a smartphone? any budget phone will easily handle this kind of emulation so she could just use that



  • I mean, they’re adding big box delivery so…

    Jokes aside, non-aggressive unlawful gameplay could be focused on pure stealth, for example: to steal or plant something without being seen as an intended goal of the mission giver. Maybe add racing on a private property? It’s definitely something more difficult to come up with and implement than just shooting people in a different location but they will have to do it if they really want to make the game into a sandbox for everyone and not just action players.

    Sure, as the name suggests unlawful gameplay will always skirt the law, I just don’t think everything has to be about murder. That’s just me though, hopefully peaceful game loops will make their way into the game at a more reasonable pace after recent development shift.









  • It’s not like they can really avoid it. AI assisted tools will become a standard in the future (“productivity has to go up” after all) and there’s a good chance Valve already received some feedback from AAA publishers on that matter, since they’ll be the main players utilizing such tech.

    The good thing here is the exsitance of a disclaimer on store pages, as it will allow people to decide for themselves, and the ability to report content straight from in-game overlay.

    Full on ban was never a realistic option.

  • It does a good job at pointing out flaws with Steam UI and how they could be fixed (something Valve is apparently unable to do themselves).

    While the design in this video isn’t perfect, it’s way better than the current shitshow and I don’t see why people (especially those who know what they’re doing) shouldn’t remind a multibillion company they should do better.
