They have literally been doing this with every older game they’ve ever produced. New system? New larger price to play on the new system.

The OG CEO is from the 1800s so yeah. And yes I’m thinking of Iwata. And look at what was produced during his tenure. That’s the Nintendo everyone is nostalgic about nowadays. 1989 Nintendo was a corporation throwing spaghetti at the wall, 2000’s Nintendo was streamlining the end gamer experience, 2020’s Nintendo is looking for an easy paycheck.

Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.

I have a small laptop that I’m testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

I had read that Steam on WINE is pretty stable. Is it not?

That doesn’t mean that their effect on the GPU market will up and vanish overnight. Market correction doesn’t usually go down as fast as it goes up.

Edit: add to that the tariff situation and the standoff with China and Taiwan (where all the processors for gpus are made), and you have a situation where things are just going to get more expensive no matter what.

The best description of reddit’s WallstreetBets sub I’ve ever seen.

i didnt do anything.

Exactly. Hence why the assholes get away with driving good people out. Maybe if people stood up and told the trolls to STFU and instead defended these people they wouldn’t be forced out of the community.

Yeah, there is a whole load of Steam games that will only play on Windows systems. I’m looking forward to testing the new implementation of WINE and see if it measures up. If so, I may be dumping Windows 10 for a Linux flavor. Though I don’t know if I can get the Windows XBox app to work on WINE. So that’s a consideration.

There are registry keys you can use to completely disable Copilot.

Except you can’t make Steam offer their content offline like that. By altering the language they use it effectively makes them more transparent about what you are really paying for. So, in order to use the word “buy” or “purchase” they would have to make the content available offline, or they have to use a different word that essentially means “rent” or “subscribe” cause that is what is actually happening.

Yes cause 5 to 12-year-olds are the only people who play Minecraft. Nobody over the age of 12 plays Minecraft at all and there aren’t millions of Minecraft players out there that are anywhere from 12 to 70 years old.

Yeah, I now realize the article was talking £ not $

Activision, which is like Valve’s slower and far less intelligent cousin, sold for $59B. Valve would be worth orders of magnitude more than that.

Next in the news “water is wet”.

Rich asshole doesn’t think he’s making enough money, News at 11:00.

In March, republican lawmakers accused TikTok of serving harmful content and inflicting “emotional distress liberalness” on young users.

Fixed

Insisting that Nexus Mods should host this bigoted mod is the losers who walk in fear of “woke culture” trying to enforce their bigoted views on the rest of the world. The assholes are still free to install that mod but Nexus Mods is just as free to not host that trash.
