Is there a list of companies still showing ads there? I will gladly avoid them all.

I'll pay triple if I can play it 25 minutes before anyone else has access.

I 100% agree and you didn't even mention the biggest selling point in my eyes. The joysticks are modular so you can swap them out if they ever get drift. The sticks are extremely high quality but drift is inevitable in most scenarios so it's nice to only need to spend $20 instead of $200 for no more drift.

Yeah maybe it was petty but I don't think it was unwarranted. Every other comment so far was an exact clone of "It's alright" so I figured I'd add a unique perspective to the conversation.

I will never be guilt tripped into speaking out against a company who engages in shitty practices, but nice try.

I don't know, I refuse to play Ubisoft games.

There's a game on Kickstarter called Outbound. It's in alpha access right now.

The game looks like it's literally Raft in a camper van. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to.

I typically put children's music on YouTube when driving with my kid. Not having to shuffle with the phone to skip ads while in the car is a life saver.

I have a friend that in his own words likes boring games and Starfield was too boring for him.

This is why I exclusively use thrustmaster controllers. Joysticks are modular and cost 15-20 bucks to replace.

Sure, and they proved that they won't respect valves wishes unless legally required to do so. Valve is now in a position where if they want to do future play tests they will have to manage NDAs for everyone which is probably more trouble than it's worth. The general population is now less likely to get an opportunity like this because the verge wanted to get some easy clicks. It's pathetic of them to sell us out like this.

They literally included a screenshot of valve asking to not share information about the game with a little quip about how they pressed escape instead of ok. Blantant disrespect to valves wishes even if it's not a legally binding agreement.

They chose getting clicks over doing right by valve. Shame on them.
