Worrying that my ADHD 8 yr old won’t have any friends that aren’t relatives because he is so weird with other kids and they lose patience with him.

That’s a bar I haven’t heard for a long time…

Yeah I get that from the other comments. I just don’t consider playing games with IRL friends part of community but I get it. I was thinking more of the almost universally reviled community forums.

Alright, I just have a knee-jerk reaction when any execs talk about ‘community’ that it’s normally something I have no desire to engage with. However, I see what you mean in this context!

Eh ‘community’ is like the least important reason why I use Steam. It’s just easy to buy, organize, and play your games with friends with a minimum of fuss or resource strain on my PC. I’m sure some people are into the community features but at the same time I feel gaming C-level execs always think that is more important than providing a good, easy-to-use product.

If I remember correctly, didn’t he write this based solely on trailers before the movie came out?

Octopath Traveller looks interesting.

I’ve been getting into Metroidvania’s recently. Don’t know how I went 40 years without playing them but here we are. They’re great to play on the Steam Deck.
