7:35 PMeathdemon​ms lets you plug in to the controler

7:35 PM13Ucube​To get friends you connect on cup with a string to the back of the switch and the other end plugs into a bamboo rod that goes under your fingernails. Now with switch, IT’S EEEASY to play with friends

7:39 PMNightmare Ninja​never had problems with ARMS

7:40 PMNightmare Ninja​“Bad Ass” Princess

7:42 PMeathdemon​$100 per game, better than greenlight which was $100 for all games, still should be higher imho

7:45 PMNightmare Ninja​Eathdemon, you get games on Steam?

7:45 PMkratos3821​Nintendo “sabotaging themselves since 1996”

7:46 PM13Ucube​don’t you get valve’s attention by releasing an unfinished game and get like a 90% refund likelihood

7:46 PMNightmare Ninja​$100? Really?

7:47 PMeathdemon​sadly steam is globel including contries with very low wages, so……. they cant charge as much as I would like

7:49 PMeathdemon​unlikely andrew, they want to have michines do it. they truly want a hands off aproach

7:50 PMeathdemon​I am glad they moved away from giving igf winners a free ticket on to steam

7:50 PMNightmare Ninja​I hope they be able to stop the crappy games

7:51 PMeathdemon​valve is adding a way for devs to give curators games, which will cut down on key fraud, and will hurt g2a, and that is a win win
