The Tarnished Edition of Elden Ring has introduced new armor sets, weapons, and starting classes, prompting players to experiment with the game's mechanics. Notable player SaxSlaveGael demonstrated the effectiveness of a new sword's Muleta skill against the boss Gaius, while Ilamahradeys showcased the sword's power by nearly depleting the health of the Full-Grown Fallingstar Beast with a single jab. Players are also focusing on aesthetics, with the "fashion souls" concept thriving, as seen with admiration for a new chestpiece from the Idus starting class. Additionally, the heavy armor class introduced in the DLC has gained attention for its enhanced vigor and strength stats, beneficial for melee characters.

Весь топ из Steam за 399 рублей: как я перестал пиратить и тратиться на игры

Purchasing major game releases on Steam typically costs between 3,000 to 6,000 rubles, leading some players to feel that the investment is impractical, especially if they only play a game once. This has resulted in increased piracy, which poses risks such as malware. SteamPass is a subscription service that offers access to over 2,200 games for 399 rubles per month, allowing users to explore various titles without the high costs of individual purchases. The service operates by providing separate accounts for each game, but it has limitations, including a limited number of accounts for popular games and the need to switch to offline mode to avoid being logged out. Progress and achievements are tied to the rented account, and account sharing is against Steam's terms of service. Despite these drawbacks, SteamPass is seen as a safer alternative to piracy and impulsive purchases.

Take-Two boss dismisses hand-wringing over the end of disc-based games: ‘Our business is well over 90% digitally distributed as it is’

Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take-Two Interactive, stated that physical game discs "don't really make sense" in today's digital market, especially with the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6 exclusively in digital format. While PC gamers have largely adopted digital gaming, the console sector has traditionally relied on physical releases. However, the lack of a physical edition for Grand Theft Auto 6 and Sony's plan to stop disc production by 2028 indicate a shift in this trend. Zelnick noted that although the transition to digital is inevitable, Take-Two will still release physical editions "now and then." Ubisoft's CEO and industry analyst Daniel Ahmad support Zelnick's views, highlighting that the console ecosystem is becoming "nearly entirely digital." The release of Grand Theft Auto 6 on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S raises questions about digital distribution and ownership in gaming.
