"Oversaturation" as in Steam being overly crowded with good and bad titles? "Oversaturation" as in no one is minding the store, so it fills up with filth?

How much do all of those video-streaming services cost you to access per month? (Spoiler: Lots)
How much do all the online game stores put together cost you to access per month? (Spoiler: Zero)

I can compare apples to oranges too: They're both fruits.

Secret sauce? Is that at all related to blast processing?

Better: SSD.
Cheaper per byte: HDD.

OMG. The drama queens are the ones winning. Doubt? Confusion? Ha! It doesn't matter where the games get downloaded from. The bits and bytes work just as well. The games will run on the same PCs, regardless of the online source. What's to doubt? Why are you confused? Jiminy Christmas.

8K (4320p) is 4 times the workload of 4K (2160p), and 16 (sixteen!) times the workload of 1080p. You can try to build a top-end PC with 4 2080ti's in SLI, I suppose, for 8K gaming. Or you could buy a decent car for the money. You'll also need textures and movie frames which uncompressed will take 4-16 times the storage or memory. Or you could compress the crap out of them, degrading the quality more than if you had stuck with 4K, or 1080p. Now imagine physical copies of games com...

What would be the point of making Stadia a supercomputer, if the goal is streaming, where the box at your end acts more like a terminal than a full computer? It needs to detect your game inputs, replay an AV stream, and connect to the internet so the data can flow to and from the remote system running the game. That's all. A phone can do it.

Perma-death? Why do people do that to themselves?

I don't get the mixing of left-brained and right-brained activities in sex games. It makes no sense. An old trick to lose, er, some inappropriate arousal is to do math in your head. Here, they want you to solve match-3 puzzles while seeking a saucy outcome. No. Thanks.

I wish. This has become commonplace, forcing people to give up their right to a fair hearing in a real court. It needs to stop.

The arbitration garbage needs to get addressed by the SCOTUS. No private company should be allowed to usurp the legal rights of its employees simply because they work there. Arbitration means the company wins and the employee loses, almost every time. That's why companies push for it, and why some impose agreeing to it as a condition of employment (or potentially even signing up for a game service).

Yeah, there's a big difference. I often watch movies with metascores in the 50s, while I wouldn't consider buying games with such scores. I think there are a couple of reasons for this--strictly imo: (1) Movies are traditionally rated on a star score, from one to four. 3 stars means good movie, 4 stars means superlative. 2 is passable, and anything below is garbage. Such low granularity doesn't translate well to a percentage scale.

(2) Movie reviews are 1...

Not bad. Average. But no one wants average. They want stellar, great, amazing. It's a disappointing score, and a letdown to fans that had built up a lot of expectations.

In school, where a 70% is a C.

Even if that's true, it has nothing to do with the quality of Days Gone.

In practice, because of school grading etched into our brains:

10 - A+
9 - A
8 - B
7 - C
6 - D
5 - F

Lower numbers just add emphasis to how crap the reviewer thinks the game is.

"Isn't 7 supposed to be good? Not great, sure, but still good? Worth it? A solid game?"

No. A 7, or 70%, corresponds to a C (an 80% a B, and a 90% an A). That's how we were raised in school; that's how many of us look at it. The scale is very top-heavy, and anything lower than a 6 instinctively feels like a Failure. A 7 is a score that makes one lose interest in favor of other games, or wait for a sale--yes. Game reviewers need to realize this if ...

I didn't know this sort of work was related to anyone owing anybody anything.

This is not a new game, not really. Giga Wrecker has been out on PC for over 2 years. I'm not sure what the "Alt" part adds, but it looks very much like the same game. I agree with the review, though. Very promising at first. Then it got stupid-hard before it hooked me, so I moved on to more enjoyable games.
