Yeah, glasses houses and such it’s odd for Valve to comment on this.

I don’t care about reduced loads times once. I’d rather save bandwidth.

Automa was the sequel. If you see replicant with a later date it’s the remaster.

Way longer than that.

Why would a game owned by China want full control of a PC?

Maybe cheating is the excuse because selfhosting and server mods just banning cheaters would work if they actually cared about cheating.

Same with DLSS 1, in a few years people will like it.

Why was Microsoft ever your hero?

Better than after release.

It does, but it shouldn’t offer proprietary integration.

Unreal already does this.

Godot shouldn’t.

I had to look up a solution in Myst because it was something I didn’t know I could do.

As I knew it, it was about releasing binaries/selfhostability not source code.

Yes.

It’s insane that this isn’t a requirement for shutting down/delisting a game.

If it makes you feel better the Horse Armour killed the series as they only ever released one game after it.

So, an expansion pack…

Lieutenant is pronounced Lef tenant.

I can assume Microsoft isn’t so incompetent that they don’t have reports and metrics relevant to their products.

Business experience for a business role.

Doesn’t matter for the role.

EA gives their studios the ability to decide their own revenue models.

This change likely came because they weren’t as profitable as predicted so they had targets to make up for.

Consumer hardware has always been an R&D recoup for the business sector.

Someone corrected me, different case than the one people usually source.

There won’t be any companies left.

The entire GTA series exists between 1997 and 2013.

They have the next one apparently coming out this year but who cares at this point?

Games from old series should be viewed the same way Hollywood reboots are. It’s just hoping a name will help with advertising.

That was the use of emulators in advertising to show performance differences.

It does not protect emulation as the company went bankrupt before that could be decided.

Emulation isn’t protected.

I’m aware, just guessing.

Vencord.

I think they’re complaining you don’t list where to host it/managed hosting.

It’s educational, it doesn’t need personality.

Why are they storing that content in a third party cookie?

Seems like their webmaster needs to update it.

The wrong direction. Repeating Steam’s mistakes won’t fix it.

A hypothetical Epic console.

Heroic gives Linux support and has the added benefit of being third party.

Marketshare, and you have to remember the difference between platform and store. If Epic made them exclusive to the Epic Machine™ then there would be a problem but moving from Steam to Epic doesn’t remove Windows support.

Imagine Target bought Great Value (Walmart brand) and moved it from Walmart to target. Would anyone care?

Don’t play Battlefield if it has DRM, you don’t need to change your OS for that.

If you wanted devs to support Linux then don’t play games that don’t support it.

Simple as.

The only obstacle is people supporting games with DRM.

I think you can infer it.

All things that should and are handled by different companies.

Steam violates Unix philosophy so it should never be on a Linux system.

Even their Wine fork requires the Steam runtime.

Also you know you’re lying when you boast about Steam support.

It can be a store, a launcher, a compatibility later, a discussion board, a social platform, a download host, a game developer, or an input manager but it cannot be all those at once.

Epic isn’t without fault either, they also do more than just Unreal Engine. But no one can argue they are worse/do more than Steam and their Linux support better.
