"Be prepared to shell out for voice chat you snotty little prick. You over there, the one healing the heavy... you're cool." - Daniel Bischoff [Game Revolution]
Half-Life and Portal writer Erik Wolpaw has detailed how his team has been using Generative AI for research and development at Valve.
Valve has responded to New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit against the firm, stating it does not believe that lootboxes in its Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2 games unlawfully encourage minors to gamble, adding it was "disappointed" to see the action go ahead despite efforts to "educate" the NYAG about virtual items since "early 2023."
I've tried to charge people for that for years :(
I like the premise behind charging people that make a room full of good players vanish into thin air.
Best system ever.
Wow...He said this like last year...Is he just repeating himself or is this article just reporting last years news?
Isn't this sort of like car insurance? Problem is though at some point someone's gonna get screwed over. Who decides what's a 'cool' way to play? And what happens if you get labelled a prick by accident? I rarely play mp and when I do I'm silent and conserved, does that mean I should pay more than someone who's more 'fun'? Why?
Because they're more social? Because they have the time to make fucking hats for a game? I paid my god damned cash I should be allowed to just play.
I get that you're encouraging people to be nice but part of gamings fun is being a prick. Mp gaming had already evolved to keep the dicks out of more serious games. It's what servers and admins are for. The pc gaming community has been living with trolls since the days of doom and we've got plenty of systems in place to deal with them.
Mayble valve should stop thinking about god damned fucking hats all the time and look into half life 3 instead.
