Finally some news to make buying dozens of studios then laying off tens of thousands of employees all worth it

As an individual consumer… Not much. Still wouldn’t buy their product as it’s showing support with whatever little power you have.
In a better world there would be market regulations or something to keep a massive company from burning all their money in a market to have an unfair advantage over all others.
I mean they’re a mega corp willing to lose billions upon billions to own the market. That none of their competitors are willing to bleed money like that isn’t surprising, and buying into such an obviously poisoned platform is not a good idea for the future of the industry unless you want it to be owned by Meta.
7 million could’ve paid 100k per employee? Impressive for a 70 person company to host such an expensive party then.
Technically AMD also offers an open Vulkan driver (AMDVLK), it’s just dog shit, and an open compute driver (Rocm), its just also bad, and an open OpenGL driver (Radeonsi), which is solid.
Those three are all primarily developed by AMD engineers and are fully open. Nvidia has no such open equivalents.
Uhh nvidia has had native Linux drivers since the 1990’s…
It’s not raw framerates that are bad now, developers pushing tech is not a bad thing and has been how gaming has been since it’s invention, aside from the “dark ages” of X360 ports where PC just meant 360 graphics at crazy res and framerates.
The problem nowadays is games are straight unplayable even at lowered settings or extreme hardware due to shader compilation or streaming stutters. This is just bad programming with no fix aside from an engine rework, and most devs don’t have engine programmers anymore since they just ship UE4/5
That’s because they’re losing billions selling it. If it cost what it actually took to produce it wouldn’t be the best on the market anymore, they’re trying to bully out players who can’t afford to lose billions for years until they’re in total control.
That also doesn’t resolve the carrier seeing which IPs you’re connecting to, which can often be traced back to services or sites.
The addresses themselves that you’re connecting to as one example. Also often DNS.
Also UI has to look good at either 720p or 1280x800. A lot of modern games don’t do that well at low res.
No no no you don’t understand. The war in the rest of Europe will be just beginning, but the war in Ukraine will be over.
Because Stardust said “Get a Steam Deck and then you’ll see why” which makes no sense in the context of Denuvo DRM, hence it is most likely Stardust confusing anti cheat issues for DRM ones. Not that hard to figure out.
Well, in the context of the Steam Deck, DRM works fine and anti-cheats often don’t.
No, and it runs denuvo games fine. It’s things like EAC or EA Anti-Cheat that break on Deck/Linux.
I stopped getting those once I got rid of my +1 number. For some reason even after 6 years my +31 doesn’t get them.
Microsoft Tay? That was with Twitter though.
The last one was on a QPR beta, and the one before that was on the A14 stable launch version.
This case is definitely more understandable but after 2 worse ones it’s still a bad look.
So… Third major data loss update in the last 6 months?
Awesome. OBS has never prioritized Linux performance, curious how this will compare.
