Don't feed those bottom feeders/I mean scalpers. Eff them.

I meant on Ebay.

the Valve Index kit is at 1079€ since years now, I doubt they will have a price drop on other (newer) hardware
Firestorm
lucky for me it's not a game I had any real interest in playing before I learned the awful truth about the devs so no big loss there, but I feel sorry for those that were excited about it based on this podcast.

Dammit I wanted to buy that game because it looked neat.
Firestorm
I'll just wait for a price drop before getting it.

Keep trying with the Steam Deck. I've also been confused at times but when it works its effing brilliant.
Firestorm
that's unfortunate.

Hey Steph, apparently the devs for Fight Knight have a rather toxic history with abuse allegations. It may be something to look into just in case.

I think you are dead wrong about Bloober Team, as someone with mental health issues I for one did not think The Medium did a "shockingly poor job" of handling those issues at all, for me that games writing impressed the hell out of me and i'm super pumped for the remake of SH2 and I for one think they will knock it out of the park and I think you will be eating crow when that game comes out. For me SH2 was good but not as good as part 3 so I don't have it on a pedestal like you do(I think some of the voice-acting is kinda wooden and some of the dialogue is a bit naff and the control scheme hasn't really aged that well IMO) so I don't have unrealistically high expectations of a remake to begin with, I have plenty of faith in Bloober Team and I think you should at least give the remake a chance. P.S. I see my first post got removed, I hope that means I got through to you with what I was saying before.
