This whole shitshow with Activision/Blizzard and now Bungie makes me so glad Valve is a private company. Just imagine if Steam was run by people who set these ridiculous corporate profit goals that were pressured by corporate and shareholder expectations. Steam as a platform wouldn't even be 1/10 as good as it is today.
Most like not on Steam at least.
All activity died soon after it was leaked. https://steamdb.info/app/347300/history/
Just a heads up, Stephens Sausage Roll is currently on sale for $5.99 via Humble. I don't think it goes on sale often, it wasn't at least during the Steam Winter Sale. It's usually $29.99. Great game.

Netease, a Tencent competitor in the gaming space in China, actually invested in Bungie:

Destiny's entire development history is such an incredible shitshow.
Glad i don't care.
EA hasn't had the licence to sell their LotR catalogue for 10 years now.
And even if they did, it would be on Origin, but not steam.
Bungie seems to dislike Valve strongly, so it probably wouldn't be on steam either way,
Anyone else had controller issues with Edith Finch on PC? Mine worked perfectly the first time I launched the game, but it won't respond to controller input at all since. Deleted the config files and it did nothing, so currently trying to uninstall and reinstall the game.
What did Valve ever do to bungie? I think if anything they just dislike PC gaming as a whole it seems.
The first Destiny is still the biggest debut of this gen in terms of $$$ I believe. Destiny 2 didn't do as well obviously but still should have done decent. Hopefully they have enough $$$ to be on their own for a while and maybe build their own platform longterm like CDPR, Valve etc. I have a feeling either MS or Sony will scoop them up tho.
Turns out i was wrong, it was activision banning Valve (And epic funnily enough) from getting the chance to develop Destiny content, not the other way around

They were MAC weirdos. Always had a dislike for PC

Biggest Debut says nothing if you had to invest Millions into fixing the game.
Also, unless they were secretly poached by another Publisher, I think Bungie now has a somewhat bad reputation in regards to being "easy-to-work-with". I can only imagine how the big publisher are reluctant to give Bungie any kind of large deal now. There god-like Halo-developer star is long gone.
Doesn't their contract with Activision state that Valve (and a few other companies) aren't allowed to develop successors to games they would do with Activision?
The licensor is Bungie not activision and the document states:

I always thought it was weird that Bungie fought so hard to go independent from MS and then later sign a 10-year contract with Activision who are arguably even a worse publisher.
At least this time they made sure to keep the rights to their IPs.

Hi, everyone. Don't know if anyone here can help, but here goes. I recently got a new graphics card, the Radeon RX 590, and it's been causing a massive amount of frame stuttering in the few games I've tried out (Fortnite, Shadow Warrior 2, Warframe, Monster Hunter). Even in 1080p and very low settings, the frame rate will fluctuate between upper 100s and lower 50s, making the image just jump around a ton. The GPU usage looks something like this in all of the games I've tried.
It's paired with a i5 7600k at stock speeds so a CPU bottleneck seems unlikely. If anyone has more insight into this topic, I'd appreciate the replies. Thanks.

So i understand correctly, i wasn't wrong afterall and it was indeed Bungie banning Valve from making Destiny games?
It's a PC hate thing. Before Destiny 2 the last Bungie developed game on PC was Myth 2 from 1998.

This is a dumb question, but are your drivers up to date?
Got my Rift today, much better gameplay experience than the PSVR, just gotta find the absolutel best places for the 2 sensors I got for 360 roomscale setup and something to mount them with.
Still, gotta give it to Sony, they did very well with the PS VR for that price and the technology (PS Camera and Move controllers) that they have.

Yes, I should have clarified, I have the drivers that were released this morning. (Adrenalin 19.1.1)
Well, the jokes on them, after all Valve doesn't many any games anymore.
I'd try disabling any energy saving options and optimizations in win and drivers to see if anything changes.
ahh okay cheers, I thought I saw the cover of the game during a sale one time, might have been for another lotr game
Usually SEGA port days are happy days but it's kinda hard to feel optimistic now with Epic ready to fuck things up at any second. :/
Speaking of, has there been any clear indication whether Division 2 is another timed exclusive or a full one? It seems to me like Ubisoft are finally gearing up to leave Steam altogether but it's really weird that they're moving to another third-party store instead of just retreating to Uplay only.

Not exactly, Epic just don't provide any DRM tools themselves. Developers are free to use whatever DRM they want.
Epic helping development of Destiny 3, Epic Store exclusive.
Now that I think about it, Epic Store is better than B.Net Store. At least I can buy games in there.
They actually provide a DRM tool
One that the Subnautica devs started using shortly after the giveaway ended
which makes the game unplayable offline because there's no offline mode on the Epic Store
Oh great. I remember them not providing a DRM tool was literally one of the selling points when they announced the store (a stupid one, but one that seemed to work considering I had to deal with a tonne of posts on here about how they embrace DRM free gaming like GOG despite that obviously being BS)
