Nope. Trust has been broken too many times. I don’t even buy anything anywhere near release anymore. I won’t buy anything anymore unless it’s either an indie game or its on sale and even then I deep dive the reviews and make sure I’m not wasting my money.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam winter sale is now liveEnglish
5·1 month agoThe regular price of Red dead 2 on steam is still the full release price even though the game came out 6 years ago. That way they can mark it 70% of and still overcharge.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Ottawa, Alberta’s ‘pipe dream’ faces surge of resistance in BC
11·2 months agoThis whole thing seems like its just a charade to deflect Albertans spite away from the Feds and instead towards BC, because everybody involved has to know that cutting BC out of any pipeline deal was a terrible way to get BC onboard a pipeline through BC. Even people who wouldn’t normally care seem to be pissed off about this.

Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywallEnglish
1·3 months agoLol, I guess that is a thing. They also just jacked the price on that, didn’t they?

Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft's ambitious new Xbox: Your entire Xbox console library, the full power of Windows PC gaming, and no multiplayer paywallEnglish
4·3 months agoNo multiplayer paywall, but they’ll probably try to charge you some sort of subscription anyway that’ll end up costing more in the long run.

Games@lemmy.world•PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGCEnglish
8·3 months agoMan, I was soooo excited about the PS5, but then it turned into such a shit show to get one that I just put my money into my PC and I never even got around to picking one up when availability became more reasonable. I don’t think I’d ever really want to get back into the console gaming space anymore.

Canada@lemmy.ca•The Definitive History of Canada’s Residential School Shame.
2·4 months agoThe first time I heard about Residential schools was about 2 years after I graduated high school. This was also one of the first times (definitely not the last time) I was truly ashamed of my country.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Post’s Moment Of Reckoning May Finally Be Here
5·4 months agoI think most of the problems with Canada Post is the commercialisation of it. 95% of my personal mail delivered to my community mailbox is flyers and scam inivitations to MLM’s. I’ve stopped regularly checking it every day because its always all garbage that I imeadiatly throw out. I usually check it every other week now. Plus if I get a parcel its almost always just a slip that I have to take to shoppers drug mart (not the more easily accessible post office). Its literally more convenient to get packages delivered by anyone else, because they will actually bring them to my door instead of waiting an hour in line at Shoppers so that an underpaid Shoppers drug mart employee can get me my package that any other service would have put directly into my hands.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence
5·4 months agoI’m a contractor that goes to tons of houses every week. The Maple MAGA crowd hasn’t gone away, they’re just quieter now with all this 51st state BS. I used to have to deflect a ton of MAGA propaganda when i went to customers houses, now people seem to just turn off FOX news when i walk through the living room, or test the waters with vague comments about Carney. I try to steer the conversation away from politics and towards literally anything else. Pro tip, people love talking about their pets.
Probably. Its most likely going to look like the steam machine except it’ll run on win11with an Xbox gui instead of linux. Probably be quite locked down in regards to software and store access as well.
