Check out MiniReview, I've had better luck there finding game of certain types that I'd enjoy.

Someone would setup some third party tracker that identified the auto reject threshold and listed it for everyone, so people could low-ball just above it. Or devs would just set it to auto-reject below the listing prices.

Ah, the bad faith internet classic, someone who disagrees with you must not be a real person who holds an authentic viewpoint. Clearly only the things that feel right to you can only ever be things that feel right to others. You obviously should keep ignoring the voting on all the posts in this chain and other supportive comments, certainly don't get introspective.

Thanks for showing me there's no point in having further discussions with you.

Have a nice life.

I'd recommend you look up a recipe by Babish, Alton Brown or Kenji Lopez-Alt, they all usually pretty solid.

That's the neat part about it not being the only way to access a game, people can choose, if they want to buy other things, they can buy other things, but if they still like certain titles available from MS, they can still get those even outside the service. Or they can just get the subscription if it costs them less for stuff they'd support anyway. If they don't want to support MS for decisions they've made with studios, they can choose to not buy anything too, but I'm not sure how that's going to help other studios they care about within MS. And let's not pretend the studio issue is exclusively a problem with MS or game pass, it's a capitalism symptom across the industry.

As for third party contracts for making things available on game pass, those developers get to choose if the deal is good enough for them or not, they have a stake and more information than outsiders trying to play armchair executives.

Nobody's calling it a default here, the options aren't "have only game pass forever" and "game pass doesn't exist", there's plenty of room for nuance in-between. So long as game pass continues to be a value proposition for enough consumers, it'll be around, if they raise the price too much or lower the quality or offerings so that it isn't seen as a good deal, people will stop paying. Adding it to the deck would increase the value proposition.

I find it odd that an argument about giving people the power of choice is used to advocate against a choice existing.

If ever game pass is the only legal option for accessing a game, I'll happily consider revising my opinion, until then increased choices is always more consumer friendly. People should make their own personal choices about which of those options work best for themselves, and just because one option is preferred by some people, doesn't mean another can't be preferable to others.

Game Pass native on Steam Deck would be 🔥🔥🔥

There are a few sections restricted to solo only, but it's not the default, the matchmaking is pretty quick for a random group and there's a variety of people always looking to form groups for different tasks. One word of warning, people move fast, until you get parkour down, you might just end up running from the start to end of a level if you join groups, they'll have completed the objectives and be waiting for you to extract.

Clans exist, and each have their own space station called a dojo that's customized by them (cost is based on size of the clan, as a solo I was able to build up and level a clan on my own).

Path of Exile.

I'd say I'm a fairly mid-tier player, get better with each season I play, the breadth of mechanics and depth of complexity is mind breaking. I've only played like 2000 hours though, I'll get it all figured out eventually... Right?

Article says the erroneous menus weren't distributed. So, probably not.

Removing the allergen warning is basically some form of attempted manslaughter.

Rube flag?

I would generally say they're great with anything you happy being 100% right 90% of the time.
