LOL Consoles are too expensive, and this is the find out stage of their fuck around journey. Its not all that surprising, especially with the ending of physical games on Sony’s part and Microsoft being generally shitty… They might not recover for a while. Bully for them!

I honestly hate it too, low effort slop is never very interesting. If anything, I find it to be garbage and a waste of time! Now if some real modders spent time and effort mashing up two games, that would be different…It would be impressive and fucking awesome. The efforts of slop simps are only worth contempt.

Good, having some options to look at over something that I don’t particularly care about is a good thing! I won’t be getting GTA6, nor could I be convinced to do so because that type of game is not my cuppa…Often indie games are more my vibe these days, as they don’t have big exploitative companies behind them!

You need to convince both Microsoft and Mojang of what you want, present your case to them about getting Minecraft on Steam. Particularly when a good case is stated to them on the matter, an audience shows up and makes it clear there is a return on investment. shrugs Replying here doesn’t really matter, unless you go to the Minecraft Forums and present your opinion, see what happens. That would be the most productive thing to do at this stage, as clearly you are convinced enough to stick with this idea.

I’m just a dude on the internet sharing his opinion that isn’t based on pure facts. Based on casual observations (I since edited my initial reply about the cash cow nature as you were right…). I feel they don’t care about Steam enough to put it on there as there have been no moves on their part to indicate any interest in years. I am no means an expert, I don’t feel like I am being particularly condescending either. It just feels more likely to get a reworked version of Bedrock Minecraft that runs on all 3 platforms like Java currently does. It would essentially achieve the same aim and would be more likely to be realized. But, eh, it doesn’t matter what I think unless I do the same. Stating my own case on the Minecraft Forums.

Hmm, good question as I haven’t really engaged with Luanti recently! Been playing Vintage Story if a block game is on the menu…However, sometimes just flipping a coin and going with the first one is a good idea. Also, there is nothing stopping you from trying both out and finding the one that works better!

If you really think about it, Minecraft is one of their biggest cash cows (mainly microtransactions after the initial sale, especially in the case of Bedrock), they would prefer to keep all that revenue. Doing as only as little profit cuts caused by selling through other storefronts as possible. Given that Minecraft and Mojang are household names, that everyone knows about this game, and where to get it…Why put it on Steam? There is no benefit for them to do this, or they would’ve a long time ago as part of a corporate strategy. Smaller side games like Minecraft Dungeons like 1 or 2, like that’s not a big deal for them. There isn’t really reoccurring money to be made there for them aside from a one time sale. Feels like a profit by volume of sales situation to me.

Person on the web, it is not as hard for them to make modifications to the existing code which can already run on Linux with modifications, C++ games can easily run on Linux with modifications. It doesn’t take a complete code re-write to do this.

You can literally have several codebases with minor changes made for each platform. They clearly have done this for Java, they know there is a fan base on Linux for this game. There is an incentive for them to make the adjustments if enough people speak up. Like, I dunno why you are so stuck on this pipe dream for Minecraft on Steam as if it is the only way forward. But, you can hold on to it if you wish, dearie.

Yeah, I mean the only problem with the Steam Deck is that Steam OS (which is based on Arch) doesn’t allow for package layering, otherwise you’d be able to use the official launcher which is on the AUR. I have no idea why they still haven’t promoted that one to the extra repo yet. Given that Minecraft has been out for donkeys years now…There is clearly no incentive for them to launch it on Steam. They are big enough that they are fine without Steam for Minecraft.

Its not even a rewrite that is required, Java Minecraft already runs fine on Linux, C++ programs can as well. The issue is it would Mojang needs a reason to adapt the Bedrock version of Minecraft so that it will run with no issues on Linux. To add a cloud save functionality to the game there, if you want that, advocate for the change. Don’t ask for them to add Minecraft to Steam, be sensible about it.

That can be fixed by pressuring Mojang to implement those changes. It doesn’t have to be on Steam to recieve those upgrades, community action and pressure are necessary to manifest those outcomes. Its less of a pipe dream than wishing for the impossible.

Honestly, I don’t see the point of adding Minecraft to Steam. As it already exists on so many platforms; I don’t see Microsoft or Mojang being interested in sharing a revenue cut with Valve for every sale. As they mainly distribute Minecraft from their website and support several computer OS, they have the most to gain from following KISS in this instance.

Games not on Valve’s platform and are hosted elsewhere is a good thing! So that way if Steam even collapses for whatever reason…Not all games are lost! Not every game needs to be on Steam.

If only they would revamp The End, but The Sift is nice too…

ROFL Oh hell no, that would get me to never buy a game with this feature enabled. I would wait and figure out if said feature were present.

Keep doing it until they feel it and know! A one time blackout isn’t enough, there needs to be consistency.

LOL Well, that was certainly wild…Very chud of them, looks like they are on the ignored studio list. Good job.

Do you have any idea how much the gays/bis/straight women enjoy dad bods? That is fairly lucrative provided that you don’t have big creeper energy. 🤔 As long as there isn’t any queer baiting involved and it is a welcoming space to all voyeurs with clear boundaries…I don’t see a downside to doing this.

Just bear in mind that it is a saturated space, but usually the gays and the bis, and most women have spending money for men who provide carnal titillation!

You honestly have to go to the specific gay related communities in order to get positive results from male content. The gay and bi thirst is IMMENSE.

That feels like a very clear read to me as well, they were woefully unprepared to design a compelling linear game. I wouldn’t call making linear games easy, because they can get just as repetitive as an open world title faster. So many careful decisions are required to make a linear game come alive, fun, well timed diversions…Thematic cohesion that breathes live into the world and makes it feel lived in. Also, it shouldn’t have been too difficult to not insult the gamer’s intelligence with all the markers and guidance, the weird and unjustified breakable placement. The “hidden” chests is so crazy, like it wasn’t even that difficult to find some of them. Even the Logan that they crafted, felt incredibly wrong as he was more of an asshole with a heart of gold. The under utilization of cool characters like Mystique just screams mistake to me. The initial impression I got from watching this review is: Insomniac thought they could make an uninspired, borderline slop game and have their praises sung.

Insomniac better pay for this incredible misstep, they better get fuck all in terms of sales, and low ass ratings. Critically torn the fuck apart for the right reasons (not stupid culture war bullshit from stupid hate mongering tourists in gaming spaces).

Honestly, that feels like a shame…Those Insomniac bubs dropped the ball BIG time with this game. It’s going to be the best example of what not to do in game design for years to come. How cute, cursed, and fun. If they were going to make a watered down and dismal game, they should’ve just let Ubisoft handle it and take more hits to their already harmed reputation.
