  • [ETA Prime:] It's Basically an Android Steam Deck Now! [Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16GB ram] [emulating full x86 PC games]

    Jump

  • But y tho

    Nvidia, Intel and AMD: their business now is circular money with AI and not PC gaming industry anymore.

  • Deadly journeys: Refugees, migrants risk everything to reach Europe

    Jump

  • I think it's more about the general bombing all around; Russian bombing, Israel bombing, USA bombing. They don't quite hit the EU itself... but they are bombing around (except the side where's the Ocean and North Pole: they don't bomb those).

  • Say Goodbye to the Idea of Chinese RAM Being Cheap; 32GB DDR5 Modules Now Retail for Over $500 as Local Prices Catch Up Globally

  • Second hand market: "I am a joke to you?"

  • LA County sues Roblox, says the platform helps predators target kids – Morning Overview

    Jump

  • Depends on the government involved: Roblox tax money factory for US government, which considering a certain island, currently aren't too keen get in too many details in wealthy predators.

    (Each government around the worlds got their own, BTW)

  • Why Final Fantasy is now targeting PC as its "lead platform" [Hamaguchi said he considers the PS5 and PS5 Pro “mid-range platforms”]

    Jump

  • Steam got around 132 milion scrive users monthly: target the "some" of the most wealthy is what "most" AAA publisher, that sells at AAA price are looking for. It's not about "some" 3080: it's about starting from there and add all people that paid premium price for their upgrade above that.

  • High-end Android phones are now powerful enough to emulate the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 — YouTuber gets 2020's hottest PC game running at playable frame rates [30fps] on Red Magic 11 Pro

    Jump

  • Bluetooth controller do exist by quite some time. ...also bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

    ...ad also USB-C hub that recharge/give power, offer HDMI/DP port and usb slots.

    I recall Ubuntu Phone back in 2011 was set to use these features to give a complete computing, Ubuntu Linux, experience on smartphone (and TV, as the smartphone connected to TV)

  • Explain people expecting things to come from future, aka marketing PR.

  • Ubuntu To Support The SpacemiT K3 [8cores, 2.4GHz] As One Of The First RISC-V RVA23 SoCs

    Jump

  • Well, ARM looks like is hoping to leapfrog over x86 (Intel/AMD) in desktop computing. Once the "RISC" technology (Box86,FEX and alike) head in the PC gaming... we may begin to see options to companies who fed on the PC gaming industry (mostly AMD/Nvidia) and now are turning their back after various things coming along (crypto currency, AI...)

  • Steam Machine & Steam Frame FAQ - RAM and storage crisis to blame for no pricing or dates

    Jump

  • Clever idea would be to give to option to sell it without RAM and SSD (as option, you can still buy the whole package).

    They need an open platform to soar, who cares if RAM and SSD comes from second hand market? Steam is a store, they could even lead the second hand market for the (key) accessory components!

  • "The launcher sucks, let's call it what it is," Epic Game Store boss [Steven Allison] says, promising a year of big improvements to speed, new "forum-type" social features, more

    Jump

  • Epic can take "some money" by selling third party indie and AAA games... or take "all the money" when people spend in Fortnite. It's a conflict of interest: Epic don't want a good store that do the job for other companies, Epic want advertisement for their single product. They give free games with the same logic you get free merchandise to gather people around place that cost money... they don't give the customer free stuff to make them happy, they don't give "free money" to publisher/developers because wants them happy (well, aside for the purpose to have happy business).

    They want as much as people possible, regardless of their role as customer or publisher, to bring their business in their pocket.

  • Steam Hardware & Software Survey [Chinese +0.90%] [Linux -0.20%] [Windows 10 +0.28%]

    Jump

  • It's not 0, its "AAA piracy gaming" in China that's basically 100% Windows.

    Linux (kernel) is present in China in all other environment (Android, Supercomputers, servers, IoT... etc) but Windows desktop (office&home) platform.

  • Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition Original ENIGMA DRM vs Cracked Enigma RE4 FPS Boost NO DENUVO

    Jump

  • Please, be aware that in the DENUVO version Leon wear Nekomimi ears and may had caused some FPS trouble with aerodynamics as he runs.

  • The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore

    Jump

  • 🎺"The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore" 🎺

    of course, you can still...

    hum... well, you can also...

    yeah, yeah, you can do that also... but...

    ...and so going on.

    PC gamers win the first battle against Valve Corporation as £656m competition claim receives judicial approval

    Jump

  • Valve has a price parity policy.

  • Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" [refer to in-app purchases]

    Jump

  • It's not about the "cut" you're thinking; it refer to in-app purchases.

    Once you bought a game, Valve keep demand a 30% cuts on anything you sell once the customer launch your executable (.exe, binary file/game engine).

    hypothetical scenario to help visualize (it won't go like that most of the time, but useful to understand the concept):

    • customer Install and Launch Steam
    • customer buy (Valve earn 30% cutshare) and install game on Steam
    • customer uninstall Steam, keep installed game
    • customer launch game (if is made in a way don't need Steam dependencies).
    • Anything sold while game engine is running must give 30%,of further earning, to Valve.

  • FINAL FANTASY VII to receive a new release on Steam; 2013 edition to be de-listed.

    Jump

  • On Steam you can pick your version of choice among the various update.

    If it's some sort of forced update in which the game is made to not work with previous versions (it require special DRM or online activation by the third party): that's more another issue (planned obsolescence) that's being addressed with the Stop Killing Games campaign.

  • Nearly one-third of non-US game developers have cancelled plans to travel to the country because of immigration and gender identity policies

  • It’s worh noting that the OLD version still remain “free” if you purchased the old one: that’s less about Square but Valve.
