Does this still have a wild amount of drm and extra launchers?

Honestly who cares. Stop buying AAA slop and support indies.

Google will change the APIs every 2 years and break all your old games so I’m kinda over it at this point.

Ok, I’ll bite.

Why does a game console need a webcam?

Nintendo takes pride in using outdated hardware. Kinda cool in some cases kinda “wtf” in others.

The Luanti community generally does not see it as a “Minecraft killer” and doesn’t want it to be that. But it’s a cool project for sure.

Idk if most software developers know this is what they should be doing and ignore it completely or if they just don’t know.

There are so, so many reasons to do this.

But I don’t think this really happens very often in the real world because it’s not the shortest line from A to B.

Hot take.

Lua is an industry standard for a reason. The syntax isn’t great. But the reference implementation of Lua is under 500kb, very easy to embed and very fast.

It’s hard to tell if you actually are making a coherent counter argument here since your response is 90% ad homenem.

Concepts are high level ideas. Mechanics are lower level implementations of those ideas.

But I think the original poster really meant “vision” or “motif” more than they meant “concept”.

A game with lots of deep mechanics but lacking overall vision is really just seen as a fancy tech demo by most people.

You’re describing mechanics not a concept.

This is also about the second hand market.

Imagine running windows on a handheld lol

It is. Everyone is using gotdot or unreal now and they are not going back.

No one truly suffers if the game is delayed.

So far it’s fine on steamdeck. There is small text for sure but I’ve seen worse.

I really don’t think that most people in the FGC would claim MK has a higher skill ceiling than Street Fighter.

Yeah SMS is used a lot in North America, especially in the US, and especially by older people.
