[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (11 children) I hope 100 TB drives are out by the time HL3 comes out. permalink fedilink source hideshow 11 child comments replies: [–] unphazed@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (8 children) By the time H3 comes out your great great great grand children will be reminiscing about how games once were about gameplay and plot and not the 100th version of Call of Duty or Assassins Creed. I'd say Madden too but let's face it no one will play it 150 years from now unless it's VR. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) unless its VR I thought the same thing about touchscreens when they first came out. I really did think they were the future of gaming. Seemingly limitless buttons in limitless combinations. Touch and drag game pieces directly, action and vision in the same place. Turns out gaming on mobile is shit. So so shit. Maybe VR will end up the same way.

Not because he's witholding it, obviously, but because whoever comes next will probably try to make as much money as possible and that's an easy first way to do it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children) It's gonna suck when Steam immediately enshitifies to the max after he dies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 9 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah, fully expecting that to happen.
