If Valve already has a stock of components in-house ready to be assembled, or an existing contract with a manufacturer, then they could still release the hardware at an affordable price, but it will likely be only for a limited time until they run out of components.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: Mountain ManTo be fair, we're still far behind Europe where you can and will be arrested for posting "offensive" messages on social media.

You can be punished for say calling someone an a**hole. Not for stating an actual opinion. (You do not really believe that a person is a backside - it's not an opinion, it's all insult.) I fail to see a problem with that.

You clearly do not value freedom of speech.

I value the freedom to state your opinion.

I do not see any value in insulting people, no.

Quoting: Mountain ManAnd it's gotten rather extreme. There was one instance where a woman who texted a friend and called the man who raped her a dog received a harsher punishment than her rapist.

Well, obviously, nobody wants that. Would you link a source to read it up?

To clarify, it was Germany and not the UK as I remembered, and she called her rapist a pig, not a dog. But she did receive a harsher jail sentence for it.

Bloomberg cites "those familiar with Sony's thinking", which is just another way of saying the writer pulled it out of his backside.

Quoting: eddie-fossSorry for that but for me it seems that US is turning itself a kind of rich new North Korea, government surveillance, no freedom, imposed religion, beliefs and who is against will have their heads chopped off, very dystopian...
I hope you guys get back your power and put off the f..ing lobbyists out of government they're cancer to your country.
😤

To be fair, we're still far behind Europe where you can and will be arrested for posting "offensive" messages on social media. At least we still have our freedom of speech, although it seems the Democrat party wants to do something about that.

I saw the Steam Controller 2 graphic and got excited thinking it was a release announcement. 😞

Leave it to California to come up with some of the worst ideas.

And to everyone saying, "This isn't so bad, I can accept this," remember, this legislation is not the end, it is the beginning!

To quote Benjamin Franklin: Those who would exchange essential liberties for a little temporary safety will have neither liberty nor safety.

$150,000 seems too small of a penalty. They should have added another zero.

Quoting: LinasWe will have to go back to tape drives and floppy disks soon.

At least until those sell out in the next few weeks.

Death Stranding 2! \o/

Although the deluxe edition looks entirely pointless. Not even an early access incentive, just some in-game collectibles.
