The award is meant for great continued development, content support and updates. But I can see the confusion from the award title if you don't read the description.

Ayy! I'm glad it's all working again for you! Happy new year!

But didn't Terraria have it's last ever update 3 years ago?

All the awards are for games released in the last year, except labor of love, which is any game from anytime. (Unless I forgot about another award)

It's an issue if kids can get a hold of this stuff and access it, yes. Parenting is the main problem, I agree, but not every parent is competent enough to look out for this kind of stuff, also this stuff is often heavily marketed towards children.

I think adults sexually harrassing children online is an issue, if you don't, then I don't know what to say.

Steam awards is just popular vote and memes, why did last of us get best soundtrack? Why did rdr2 get labor of love? Why did hogwarts win best on steam deck? Dont take awards seriously, they are just a bit of fun.

Yeah but I am assuming you are an adult?
Kids get pulled into things like this and dont just remove the headset, they are much more malleable than a grown adult.

The question is, shouldnt their parents be supervising them? Perhaps their parents dont even know about these online worlds filled with people? Did the parents buy them VR without any research into what you can do with it? There's a lot of education that needs doing for both children and adults concerning online safety, more and more so as the online world advances.

Don't bother, this guy is just a troll. Look at all his other responses lmao.

Nobody is shilling. It's completely up to the developers/publishers to sell DRM-free or not - CDPR aren't the holy grail company you think they are.

every game you buy isn’t yours, it’s effectively an unlimited time rental that can be withdrawn for a multitude of reasons. GOG and the like actually sell you the game proper such that it’s yours to keep forever no matter what happens to GOG

This is mis-information - every game you buy on Steam is not DRM and thus is not subject to the 'digital license' approach.

Look, I like GOG, I will buy from there if I can't get a DRM-free version on Steam and the deal is good, I own many GOG titles.
Steam 1000% needs to label what games have DRM or not and embrace that with a category.

True, Epic could have provided good competition, but instead of gaining the trust of potential users and building a feature rich store - they immediately went down the most anti-consumer route they could with exclusive deals and free game bait, all while pretending they are the good buys and Valve are an evil-mega corp. The pot calling the kettle black. So yeah, fuck Epic Games.

I mean it's not technically a monopoly. Steam's advantage is that Valve is a private company and can do what they like, it's not without problems, but it does a great job where it needs to.

Steam also sells DRM-free games, so that's just mis-information. You can copy the files anywhere and use them without Steam running, it's entirely on the developers/publishers to make that decision. Cyberpunk 2077 is DRM-free on Steam, just like GOG. Steamworks just has an incredible feature set for developers to use, so for multiplayer games it's unlikey to see DRM-free anymore as people would rather invite via a friendslist than sharing IPs directly, having to open ports etc.

So, what have we learnt for the next big release?

Yeah, it's hard to throw all the blame on people when there's so many engineered tactics to tempt people to buy stuff, but there's got to be a point where you realise you don't really need that special skin for pre-ordering, you won't even use it and you won't even be playing the game in a year. I'd like to see more regulations on it all, just to protect the people who struggle to protect themselves from predatory business tactics.

I love when people actually critique games, that's how you get better games. Just refund and leave a non-aggressive negative review, let them know the concerns, blind fans are still going to call 'hate', but their claim has no foundation if you are just genuinely being a critic. People really settle for average and 'rinse and repeat' games, you can demand more, don't bend over to these AAA companies.

Seriously though, stop buying games in the first week or two of them releasing, let the dust settle first, they aren't going anywhere.

If you can go more than 700w you should (especially for a 3090, I'd be looking at a 800w at least but would probably go for 1000w myself), you wont use more power than the system needs anyway, so there's no harm having the extra headroom for the future.

Their cases are aight, but yeah. Noctua for fans lt;3
I hope a new PSU resolves your issue!

Try a new PSU, the only way to troubleshoot some PC issues sometimes is to just swap a part one by one starting with the most likely culprit. In this case, the PSU.

It's illegal to vandalise too, but there's no police effort on that front if your name is banksy.

Existing. Man is a fucking idiot anyway, stole it in broad daylight on video.

I knew about the Fallout 4: New Vegas endeavour, but this one went completely under my radar until now - holy shit, that is an insane amount of content.
