Two solo devs crushing the first two spots. Love to see it.

And typically the boycotters weren't even the sort of people who were buying a switch 2 to begin with. Maybe there's a subsection of them that will result in some loss of sales but it would be in the fraction of a percent. There's no surprise to me when gamer boycotts fail.
With that said, the sales were unexpectedly high. Maybe people trying to get ahead of potential future tariffs were the reason. I thought cost of living was fucked and nobody could afford anything.
I'll be waiting for the inevitable OLED refresh anyway.
Everyone has different cutoffs for what performance is acceptable to them. I thought TOTK was fun but the low resolution and regular FPS dips made me realise I'd rather wait for the switch 2 to experience it properly.
I think ESL could be a factor. Definitely LLMs have better English prose than this. I'm so used to seeing long running AI slop articles answering basic questions in 1000 words (rather than 10) and this reads similar.
Definitely pumping up the word count. The paragraph used to come around to the fact that Metacritic (not steam) is the site where SMKW is being review bombed gave me visceral feelings of anger.
Is this article written by AI? Some long running, poorly phrased sentences here.
Does OpenAI make anything other than chatGPT? Because an LLM honestly didn't seem like a very good AI fit for such an industry that relies on accuracy.
Indeed. I think if you know about the other storefronts and isthereanydeal you don't get a wrapped about steam summer sale. There's usually some new ATLs that push newer/bigger game prices down a bit further than usual though.
Bought this. All time low price.
Lot of people saying it's Meh but ones that I've been tempted by are:
ATL 53% off for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate edition
- this passes the $60 AUD threshold which I've been holding out for
Crash Bandicoot Nsane trilogy for 90% off
Stanley parable ultimate edition at lowest price since 2023
- deals for this game have been tepid since December 2023, but this matches the ATL
This is the easiest way for sure.
I think about as angry that Square Enix is that they couldn't make an Expedition 33.
