Following last week's DFC report that video games would suffer a sharp decline until 2015, NowGamer went straight to the source, DFC's David Cole, and asked if online distribution platforms such as Steam, GaiKai and OnLive would trigger the turnaround. His answers here.
According to Valve: “The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We’re sorry about this—we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping to customers February 2022.”
Totally understandable given the current climate, but also a big blow for hype for sure. I would not be surprised if there was a further delay down the road, given how unpredictable assembly lines are at the moment.
Literally what I just said out loud lmao. Mine was Q1 it said already. But this just makes it perfect for me if the earliest is Feb, mine will probably be April or later which is outside all the releases I care about
It's understandable as all manufacturers are supply constrained of components. It just means that 2022 is going to be SO stacked!
Why do people always say "current climate"? What are the origins of this highly corporate statement?
And some people dont want to see the truth and are brainwashed and think there is nothing wrong with the climate and dont want to see al the signs that indicate that there is defenitly a change in the climate worldwide.
by listening to others is not truth, seeing for yourself is truth. But people are used to so called television and media oh yeah and government but not with their own eyes ever! That's a hard fact. Ice melt, and you all believe it. Volcanoe hit and you all believe it, this has happened even in the Bible so what climate change for 10, 000 years?
That's a bummer, but only 2 months, and understandable given how unpredictable HW is right now.
Disappointing but not really surprised. I'll still be waiting and keep my pre order
75 hours in and here's our review of Cyberpunk 2077 from a gamers perspective [Steam PC - No Spoilers]
Satisfy your RPG cravings in the beautiful world of Cyberpunk. Bugs and performance issues aside, the core gameplay is brilliant.
a new update is up for Cyberpunk 2077 1.06 is out!, for some reason is pretty exciting to get updates for this game lol :D
...oh yeah about this review.....hmmmm .... well it says review in the article title alright, sorry I only wanted to post the news about the new update lol.
Sure, you can drop the occasional dollar on Humble Bundle or Fanatical. Or keep an eye on IsThereAnyDeal like your life depended on it. But, there are hundreds of games up on steam (and other sites) free to play. The best things (games) in life are free. It’s one of the best four letter word that just brings joy to our hearts, does it not?
Completely agree.
I currently have about 80games on steam an advantage i see building up being an X console user, that my games are here to stay.
Unlike previously where every generation i had my entire library of games reset because the next console wont play my old games.. or if i switched from nintendo to sony my old games are a complete waste.
I find digital distribution awesome on the PC, I know my games are here to stay and my investment which is thousands of dollars on games wont be indirectly taken away from me. No more need to rush out to buy new games when the next console appears cause i already have soo many now.
it's not futur, it's present.
But nevermind, I love analysts
DD wasn't something I cared about until I got steam. Steam is just great all around. I think I've bought about a dozen great games for under $15 just because of the weekend deals they have.
Boxed copies all the way. I hope Digital Distribution fails in the end. The sooner, the better.
Over a 100games on steam now and growing ;-)
Must have saved a small fortune buying all those on steam vs a console.
