The problem is not that they don’t support 13 year old CPUs.

The problem is they used to work just fine, but an update broke support for people who already bought it.

It’s a bait and switch.

No fair changing system requirements after release, or newly enforcing requirements you permitted when you sold it.

Reminds me of when they sold games on Steam and then months later tried to mandate PSN accounts for PC players.

MY message is important, not spam!

Signatures in Lemmy comments are spam.

Being little spam doesn’t make it cool. Being little spam about your copyleft views doesn’t make it cool.

I know what it is. It’s obnoxious.

Like putting your sexual kinks in a email signature or telling everyone who didn’t ask that you’re vegan.

BOOO stupid long copyright signatures!

Our words are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

But the HP experience sucks even more.

Fucking Ubisoft and their fucking logins for single player games.

I want to buy it just to review bomb and return it.

It was Duke Nukem Forever

Can someone make this make sense?

You know the Sony fanbase gets really upset whenever a game comes out on PC

The fault is the manufacturer selling tamper-friendly products.

There are always going to be shady resellers but there is no reason a manufacturer should allow them to reset the counter for power on hours.

If Ford is the only company with an odometer rollback problem, blame Ford, not the used car dealers.

I’d prefer they offered it as an overpriced premium SKU for those of us who can’t say no to 4k.

Back in the 80’s Leisure Suit Larry sold well enough for a couple sequels.

It’s got to be well written and funny.

LOL just return the GPU if they sent a lemon.

America is sliding into fascism and you think the best use of scarce business regulations is to protect a very small number of rich gamers who might be slightly shortchanged.

Anyone buying a $2000 video card is either a cryptobro or a fool, but I repeat myself.

You’re the idiot hand writing HTML into a system that takes Markdown.

Stupid AND rude. You must really struggle in life.

They’ve had the PN series for 3-4 years now, it’s just not branded ‘NUC’. I have a PN51 with a Ryzen 5 5500U and it’s been rock solid.

Glad to see they’re refreshing the line.

Let me guess, available on Steam for $40, requires you to be logged in to the EA launcher, still a 32-bit app, won’t work on any newer MacOS.

Here’s hoping it matures enough for desktop use by the time my Win10 desktop is EOL.

I have a very high end computer and was able to flirt with 10kSPM but having to move to beltless designs is a real drag.

Limits of the game is right.

Over about 1000 SPM you need to design to optimize for frame rate and stop using parts like belts and nuclear reactors that require more CPU to simulate.

Article is paywalled? 😤

There’s no cloud, just someone else’s (underspecced) computer.

Flight sims are cheap compared to the hardware to run them.

2020 is Microsoft Loading Simulator.

Game is distributed through Steam, but doesn’t use the Steam update mechanism so every time I go to play I have to sit through a half hour of updates.

Article didn’t say what OS it’s running, but if it’s Windows 11 that’s a hard no for me.

So what’s wrong with “straight” ?

I’m straight too so I’m having a hard time understanding. Why do you and that guy feel the need to make yourselves victims of an imagined atrocity?

The original request was petty, so was the response.

Exactly, it’s “won’t” not “can’t”.

Even with zero legacy staff they could assign people to learn/document the old engine if there was enough potential revenue.

So they can’t get 3 of them to spend a week to write a primer for new devs?

Movies have flopped this hard before, it’s like when they made Catwoman and decided they’d rather shelve it and take the tax write off.

Why do all that when Windows players will simply let you root around in their kernel?

They’re just going with the cheapest shittiest option for detecting cheaters.

I think the one without ‘PC’ is VR-only.

What a great closing quote:

Who won? AMD

AMD definitely won the console hardware race. The real arms race has always been to create an immersive experience and I don’t see that stopping any time soon.

You think the US govt will let MS drop 2/3rds of US citizens laptops from support?

I think some senators will hold a hearing to grandstand about security and forced obsolescence and MS will be shamed into extending the support window a couple more years.

Australia continues to treat its residents as criminals who cannot be trusted with naughty things.
