It can use FEX to run x86 binaries, or use ARM binaries directly in steam for games that have them (games that support apple silicon macs, for example) and it can sideload apks meant for android, if the apk is actually standalone, and doesn’t have system dependencies that only exist on meta devices.
I honestly wonder how much of this is just copied over from the functionality they wanted on the steamframe. because there it’s a great, potentially fantastic tool, where as on the steam machine it’s… interesting?
yeah dumbfuck that’s why we require ingredients what the hell is this man oh - oh
oh yeah
this adds up hold on
yeah: DAIN BRAMMAGE
put EA higher on the evil scale.
I don’t like where nintendo is going, but yeah, the EA thing is a whole new kind of ‘fucking gross’
the irony is EA started as a company that would (gasp!) CREDIT THE DEVELOPERS. Because previous companies didn’t - there wasn’t any credit given to anyone anywhere. EA said ‘come program for us and we’ll put you in the credits!’ and it worked.
But then sometime about 8 years later they’d become the EA we all know and hate and things really haven’t changed much since.
I think every downturn in gaming history has led to explosions in indie dev studios and products.
this one feels a bit different; first time I’ve seen companies posting record profits and bragging about them, while laying devs off in absolute droves. it’s almost as if consolidating a billion competing IPs into a handful of publisher/owners who don’t really care about games per se, but see the enormous financial value in controlling the IP and production landscapes may have been a bad idea.
don’t get me wrong, someone comes along and offers me billions for my company, probably gonna take it, but you can see how it becomes reductive; and then the people calling the shots end up knowing very little about the actual mechanics of the industry… yeah we’re in for very fun times.
Indies will keep producing great stuff. Some of them will also get gobbled up. Support the rest please!
or a silly, halfwit race to build out the infrastructure (because they’re smoking their own product) that could crash the economy.
You’re only seeing the upsides - make nifty pictures, ai music, whatever - because the entire shitshow is a free or exceptionally underpriced preview of what’s to come. while everyone from google to grok to your mom fails to find a way to actually profit off of it all when they have to figure the costs of the water, power, training data, lawsuits and other shit into the actual equation it blows up.
These aren’t my ideas - please, take a break from your preconceptions and read:

Yup. How bad did the situation have to get before a group of people decided to take matters into their own hands and resolve a persistent unaddressed serious flaw with their operation that was constantly endangering children?
It’s fucking mind numbing to think that Roblox wants to step in and stop the vigilantes instead of - SIMPLY - fixing the problems to protect children from pedos. Holy hell
so far the only legit critique I’ve seen is the uncertainty of what this will mean to indie devs - will they be forced to sign with publishers who can assist with compliance etc., what will compliance actually look like to small shops, etc.
I will say this: the vast majority of game devs feel the same way and want to be able to play the games we paid for as well. there’s just a bit of fear of the unknown for small devs.
the struggle is real
