If I had a wish for christmas from GabeN or Valve in general, it would be actually meaningful error messages from steam.

If I had two wishes, I would like a community tool to share configs to make games work that require tweaking.

But I’d be very happy if I got better error messages.

    Between the anti-woke conspiracism and the outright racism, transphobia and general bigotry, I don’t know how anyone can use those forums for anything. Genuinely the most toxic and hate-filled forums I’ve ever used in my 30-odd years of internetting.

      I look up game info on the steam forums several times a week, and I have found them significantly less contentious than lemmy. I don’t remember ever seeing a “woke” thread. I assume it’s because it’s largely contained to AAA games and I’m usually playing indie games?

      In any case I think it’s an exaggeration to call them “unusable”.

      It’s not a conspiracy, they really don’t like woke, see new Gears of War, Dragon Age, Concord, there’s no secret plot

        If customers actually had a problem with however these morons define “woke”, The Odyssey, Barbie, and Baldur’s Gate 3 wouldn’t have made billions of dollars. And if you want to look to boogeymen for those three games failing (the first one is even subjective), it’s Game Pass, retrofitting a project into different designs twice, and being extremely late to the live service party.

        You know woke is a good thing right? It has only been “weaponised” by bigots.

            You’re the most cisphobic and independophobic person on Lemmy (you’re tagged as both on the Independophobe Tracker ™, and also tagged as seculophobic and truthophobic)

            Your tags are a badge of honor, if you agreed with me I’d be very sad and quite humiliated. I’d probably weep in shame

          Irrelevant, the target audience doesn’t like it, and that’s who they must sell games to.

        Explain the success of Baldur’s Gate 3 then. You just named three shitty games with shitty gameplay, shitty art and shitty writing.
