I’m old enough to remember the Kickstarter campaign. I lost track of how many release dates flew by since then.

Sometime in 3025.

Something tells me having 3000 trying to justify their wages is how they got a bloated mess in the first place.

In a completely useless way because of the single market.

Since Apple claims they need to gatekeep iOS apps to prevent fraud, and they let this one through, they should be held accountable as complicits.

You are right about USB, thunderbolt 3+PCI Express on the other hand allows very low level memory access, and in older implementations there’s nothing the operating system can do. But then again even if they force a specific thunderbolt configuration to prevent DMA it will still leave the “normal” PCIe ports as a way to access the memory outside the purview of the OS.

That and Geralt’s story got a natural end in Blood and Wine, and it would be stupid to bulldoze that.

The article explains it well. At least some of them see it as defacing a work of art, which I think it would be fair if games were unique pieces and not mass produced - it would piss me off if someone drew a mustache on the Mona Lisa in the Louvre but if you want to do it on your mass printed Mona Lisa copy, be my guest.

Trump is going to derail this, it’s basically “Microsoft Antitrust 2 - The googliest-orangest Boogaloo”

I believe this is what he wants. I even believe he’s doing everything to convince his bosses that Xbox consoles have a future. I also would suggest everyone working on the Xbox hardware team to keep their CV updated, because when your boss starts talking about your team “definitely” having a future there’s at least a 50% chance of layoffs not being far behind.

Techbros see all cyberpunk as an utopia, Zuckerberg even renamed his entire company after the Metaverse in Snowcrash when that’s one of the obviously dystopian cyberpunk worlds.

(Good) cyberpunk was always a documentary done through a slightly distorted mirror lighten up under neon glow.

Their lack of a patent for controller vibration prevented Sony from having vibration on Sixaxis - notice that despite all the BS that it interfered with motion sensing, Dualshock 3 came out just a few months after Sony managed to settle the suite with Immersion.

Since there’s no penalty for making a patent and not using it, it’s probably cheaper for Sony to pre-emptively register everything that comes from brainstorming sessions.

Sony patents random stuff just in case all the time. It doesn’t mean it’s ever going into a an actual product.

Probably Starfield would be the Bethesda game to benefit more from it. At least they could make cities feel like cities.

This is the gaming version of XKCD 1172.

AWS SLOs are going to shit aren’t they?

They have 200 solitary prison cells.

In other news: Chinese marketing departments caught up to Western marketing departments in overselling their products.

It’s not a coincidence it happened on the same day. After the first studio did their announcement the others kind of had to come forward to lay their claim.

Court cases over patent infringement do, no matter how stupid parents over software and videogames are.

Releasing a new full price sandbox game instead of keeping supporting the old one (even if it’s mostly in the form of DLCs) is not good for the gamers.

If they can bring back Christian Whitehead to help them, it sound like a good idea. If it’s the Sonic Superstars people, please don’t.

In the same way that any game with nazi zombies or even every single historical war game. I don’t seem them kicking out Call of Duty

Not necessarily, when you target one very specific setup you can use performance tricks you can’t use otherwise. When developing for PC you are forced to play by the rules because you can’t rely on a quirk of a particular combination of components because everyone has a different one.

That is a lower circle of hell.

in expired UberEats coupons.

In the US it’s probably going to go like:

GOP appointed circuit judge says LMAO. Customers appeal to supreme court, but scheduling is going to be complicated because Clarence Thomas went on 6 month vacation on the yatch IntelInside.

The FCT cares because this comes in the follow up of a merger they tried to stop by claiming, among other things, Microsoft would do exactly this. Back then the court disagreed, so they are going to try to rub the court’s nose on the shit it did.

So, no subway or fast travel?

Do you understand what “comparing” means?

And a shortcut to open Microsoft® LinkedIn® at OS level, and what surprises me the most is that uses your default browser instead of always opening it in Edge.

In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that’s only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth’s inner core.

Like everyone using an advertisement company’s browser engine?

[Insert Rich Tech bro] is actually a nazi? I’m shocked. Shocked. Absolutely dumbfounded. /s

It would be more newsworthy to find any tech plutocrat that doesn’t have a far-right view of the world. But I would expect them to find a flying unicorn first.

They meant the feature flag should’ve stayed false until the player base was hooked on the game enough to make the pushback minimal.

That’s not what the article says.

That doesn’t explain why the 16-34 range is the biggest one by far and why the younger the age group the more likely they are to play online games which usually are far less respecting of players times - people with responsibilities need a pause button.

I had never heard about him before so I decided to search his name and… Holy fuck and TIL that a sentient turd can die of septic shock.

There’s also Konami, but last I bothered to check e-football was still a joke.
