From what I have seen the gamepass DRM often goes haywire with new games on PC. Can’t imagine it being easy to integrate into nearly 20 year old games.

Thank god people don’t fall for this trap. Its so clear that once they have lured in enough fools, they gonna start raising prices.

I think the opposite is gonna be the case

Check out the old Galaxy W Series

This is what AMD should have delivered in the RX 6000 and 7000 Lineup. A card thats a hair better than Nvidia in Raster at the same price but which lacks Nvidia’s feature stack isn’t cutting it.

Looks great… but it uses Unreal Engine 5

Germans, the game is a #1 Bestseller there every time it releases.

Sims 3, Skyrim, Fallout 4

You have been able to do this on Android for a while using Termux, Proot Distro and VSCode Server. I even did it once to host two Angular Frontends on Android to free up Memory form my main latop running the backend.

They are 100% comming out with their own launcher.

Prince of Persia is such a IP almost no one cares about and most people know that it has something to do with AC in some way.

Multiplayer was peak CoD. The maps especially were almost all bangers.

they are a reverse midas. Anything they touch doesn’t turn into gold but into shit

Ow hell nah its VR

Now would be a great time to make a new simcity since city skylines 2 got greedy and bombed

Don’t think its a “its not on steam” issue, rather a ubisoft makes meh game issue

Its not. I’m writing this on a Note 8 with Android 9. It can run 99% of Apps on the Playstore, has an up to date browser and even gets access to new features like Google Lens, Gemini or Quickshare. Would it be nice to have Android 14? Yes. Does it need Android 14? eh not really.

They have gone about this in a really stupid way. Instead of doing this exclusivity shit, they could have made games 10% cheaper for the enduser across the board.

Also their launcher sucks

been like this with the Apple A chips for years

I hope it sells it well. Maybe its just me but I don’t see a big overlap between Platformer Fans and PS5 owners.

I think there are two core issues. Their creation engine has struggled to keep pace since the PS4 era and Todd’s ego.

The engine part can be fixed by either licensing something else or investing big time to bring that fossil up to speed.

With Todd’s ego, I hope Starfield thought him a lesson or they make someone else top dog.

Marketing and availablity. Unless you watch Phonereviews you probably have no idea these phones exist.

no I don’t

Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. If I understand it correctly, there is no way to really prevent these Apps from “running” in the background, although “running” just means they sit idle in memory 99.9% of time and don’t do anything unless a broadcast event they are subscribed to gets fired and then they are permitted to do small task.

So I guess the most likely issue is that either something else on the phone is causing this drain or that some App constantly gets restarted (which is expensive) for some reason instead of just staying idle in memory.

thanks, I will give the work profile route a try since I’m not aware of any ways to root my phone (LG G8X)

I have done that but there are certain Services like my Bank or Phone provide that require me to installiert their App. Also with others - Kleinanzeigen, the mobile website is horrible and thus kinda force me to use the App.

in the case of the Microsoft copilot app, yes obviously, but there are some Apps which I need like for my bank.

Imagine if both epic and the devs made an agreement to make all games 10% cheaper and share the costs.

UE5, surprise surprise.

Imagine playing a game at release

these days unless you have a very popular Samsung, Oneplus or a Pixel you usually don’t have much choice.

how about no

The Microsoft overlords really letting themselfes go these days.

no, 343 making halo was the end

they are kind of the mob boss of anything cellular who collects protection money from anyone who wants to do buisness.

I said this for years but PC is the biggest thread for the Xbox and Sony, not mobile.

Curious to see how good it works with Betheda games once they are supported. Vortex at least to me seemed overcomplicated and I still don’t grasp a lot of things about it. I liked the old OG Nexus Mod Manager best.

This is one of the best things about PC gaming. I already have played two other “revived” games from my childhood extensivley in the past - NFS World and Battlefield Heroes.

So its easier now to unlock these rare prize cars now? That might pull me back in.

Black Ops 2 had a pretty simple solution. A playlist where half the players on each team are pretty weak bots. I played this mode more than the regular 6v6 MP because it didn’t force everyone to use the same 4 meta guns to do well.
