Nah it’s just boomers realizing their children are going to fuck shit up even more than they did.

That makes sense… Of course sales will be lower if the game is offered on a service where the subscription fee is significantly lower than the price of the game.

Ah sorry my bad. Was thinking the steam deck had usb4… Well that makes more sense now 😂

Everyone is going to be talking about it like I can’t believe I saw some guy about to shit off the side of the bridge. Then about 1 hour later everyone will have forgotten and only you remember now.
