  • They’re cutting support for windows because Microsoft is, it isn’t valve’s responsibility to uphold a depreciated operating system. GOG is doing this because they are explicitly operated as a platform for supporting these old games, Valve is a general game marketplace without any real stated obligation to support older games if the developers won’t.

    Also this has very little to do with what you’re talking about. It even states they are taking old games and supporting them for modern systems, not supporting old systems at all.

    Edited to seem a little less confrontational











  • Nah, mouse and keyboard is great for a lot of things. Strategy games, most MMORPGs. Heck even fighting games are actually really nice on a keyboard if you can get used to it, you can do very complicated movements by just pressing a few buttons, the actual analog input is actually completely unutilized in most fighting games anyway.

    Having such a precise control over the buttons you press as well as having such a large amount of them is really important to a lot of games. And honestly even if we made a unique controller to replicate this precise input, we would still end up using a keyboard anyway because you can actually type messages on it, too.
