Microsoft should go to HR about that lunch.

It seems like most of the replies you are getting didn’t read your post.

I stand corrected then.

You didn’t originally have a “probally” in there. I was just looking for additional reporting on your assertion.

Alyx came out about 9 months later, actually.

Can you cite where you learned their new software is actually Alyx 2?

Yes please.

Ooo, it’s all three main games and all DLC…

Teardown might be a good one.

Is this lemmy post an Xbox?

Yeah, run 20 random poorly optimized things like this and you got 100%.

It has huge pent up expectations from the community, that’s for sure.

I see everyone projecting their ideal headset onto the rumors. Hopefully it hits as many checkboxes as possible.

Big naturals?

The VR community has been hearing about this Deckard project for years. It’s been a long wait.

I hope it pans out!

The last time I heard about someone being excited about new mechanics/paradigms in gaming it was Ken Levine. And then he disappeared for a decade. “narrative Legos” were the big idea.

He’s back, with Judas. We’ll see if he managed to invent new mechanics or not.

In the case of Judas tho, I’ll just be happy if it’s a good story and spectacle driven game like Bioshock Infinite.

I’ve heard of everything listed in the article besides the focus of the article.

Both of those sound like recycled mechanics.

Sounds like something only a small number of devs would implement. Unless they are confident they can fuck with the memory space of all games without issues. I expect a PS5 game is a bit more complicated than a saved state on an SNES.

Right?

Linux users are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled dicks. /s

Oh, so it does nothing, and it’s a conspiracy to rootkit your computer so they can do other things(?). I see.

“Solves nothing” is a stretch. These companies don’t still apply anti-cheat because it does nothing.

Ubisoft’s logo is the top view of a poop emoji.

“Recently there have been a number of reports about the plymouth boot splash not showing properly on PCs using AMD GPUs.

The problem without plymouth and AMD GPUs is that the amdgpu driver is a really really big driver, which easily takes up to 10 seconds to load on older PCs. The delay caused by this may cause plymouth to timeout while waiting for the GPU to be initialized, causing it to fallback to the 3 dot text-mode boot splash.”

Seems like not enough people click those. We are taking about gamers here.

Gotta be careful with approaching it from this angle. Setting out to do something like this ain’t the best way to achieve it.

Reviews being a message board for grievances and memes really sucks. It reflects badly on gamers. Makes everything look trashy.

These guys explain it well, let them:

Investigation: How Roblox is Exploiting Young Gamers

Roblox Pressured us To Delete our Video. So we Dug Deeper.

This would be quite the compounded shitstorm if these were still being used in Macs.

“I already beat the game, why would I pay for it?” This must be especially common for big AAA games too.

Just wanted to say I share your complicated thoughts on this. It’s not as simple as “Rah! Rah! Piracy!” No one is entitled to another person’s work. But things get nuanced and messy fast once you move beyond that narrow contextualization.

“What! It was 95%!”

huh, I didn’t know these Lego sets existed. I looked them up and now I understand why they would be exploring this. The creatures look great as Lego.

There’s no way he’s dogfooding the micro-transactions. It’s impossible for him to do so.

I guess you can do that when you own Windows.

It seems weird for a platform holder to do this.

And they are. 😞

Summary from getrecall:

April updates on campaign to stop game destruction

Campaign Progress

• The UK petition to stop games from being destroyed by publishers has reached 10,000 signatures, and the [[Australia | Australian]] petition is expected to open next week.
• Players who received [[The Crew (video game) | The Crew]] for free can still submit a complaint to the DGCCRF, but it’s recommended not to volunteer that information.
• Cases where players clearly owned the game are preferred for complaints.
• The [[Canada | Canadian]] petition is facing challenges due to a lack of response from Canadian Parliament members.

Crowdsourcing and Data Management

• Setting up an official Discord server is being reconsidered due to concerns about potential infiltration by PR firms working for publishers.
• [[Crowdsourcing]] efforts are needed to update and maintain a list of game shutdowns and at-risk games.
• A spreadsheet export option for the list would be beneficial for data analysis and sharing.

Legal Actions

• An [[Australia | Australian]] law firm has been secured to file an official complaint to the ACCC on behalf of Australian owners of [[The Crew (video game) | The Crew]].
• A website called torn.com has offered to fund the legal fees for the Australian action and potentially for the [[Brazil | Brazilian]] lawsuit as well.
• More [[French language | French]] and Brazilian owners of The Crew are needed to join the mediation process.
• The Brazilian lawsuit is likely to happen, and an affected owners list is being compiled.

Focus on The Crew and Digital Game Preservation

• The focus remains on The Crew as it presents a unique opportunity to address digital game preservation.
• [[Nintendo]] and [[Sony]] shutting down multiplayer components of games may not be actionable, except in [[Australia]].

Ubisoft’s Response

• Ubisoft has not responded to the campaign, and the blanket response from Ubisoft emphasizes their unwillingness to support continued game operation.
• Ubisoft removing licenses from accounts does not affect the campaign’s plans or goals.

Piracy and Consumer Protection

• The argument “if buying isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing” indicates a misunderstanding of the issue.
• Piracy may become less relevant in the future due to increased game protection measures.
• The focus should be on the fact that the game is inoperable and that it was purchased as a one-time purchase.
• If a [[Consumer protection | consumer protection]] agency notices the violation of inoperability, it could potentially help raise awareness of the issue.

Google One is a huge disappointment.

Aww your poor wittle pc is unhealthy! It just needs some rest and some fluids.
