Hopefully we'll get a discount if we own the original, but I doubt it. 💸

Thought it had to do with the game Control at first, like a mod or something. lol

Quoting: F.UltraHow one earth can you claim that I was misquoting people, this very quote below was your OP comment that I replied to:

I've already pointed out why.

Quoting: F.UltraNo the DSA is not fighting the power to take 30%, they are fighting the lock in, which is why they also have forced Apple to allow external app stores to be installed on iPhones in the EU. And ofc you can care about Apple's payment processing beyond the percentage that they take, perhaps you want to be able to sell in app items in countries where Apple does not conduct payments, perhaps you simply do not want to give Apple any money and might use another payment processor that takes an even higher cut (working in the Finance industry for 30 years I have seen many such cases so this is not as convoluted as it first sounds, some people/organizations simply are this way), and so on and on.

It's actually the DMA not the DSA, sorry for that mixup.

Emphasized by me: Exactly - challenging Apple's 30%.

Quoting: F.UltraGood luck trying to find that in their lawsuit (they are not), the only thing that they presents is in their FAQ where they claim that Valve is doing this with weasel wording trying to avoid the fact that is all about Steam Keys. We all went over this in 2024 when they filed it.

204. TomG also explained to another game publisher that the publisher should “[t]hink critically about how your decisions might affect Steam customers, and Valve. If the offer you’re making fundamentally disadvantages someone who bought your game on Steam, it’s probably not a great thing for us or our customers (even if you don’t find a specific rule describing precisely that scenario).” In that same thread, TomG responded to a question by stating: “we usually choose not to sell games if they’re being sold on our store at a price notably higher than other stores. That is, we’d want to get that lower base price as well, or not sell the game at all.”

204. Valve admits that the quoted words appeared in forum postings. Valve denies the remaining allegations in paragraph 204.

205. In response to one inquiry from a game publisher, in another example, Valve explained: “We basically see any selling of the game on PC, Steam key or not, as a part of the same shared PC market- so even if you weren’t using Steam keys, we’d just choose to stop selling a game if it was always running discounts of 75% off on one store but 50% off on ours. . . .”

205. Valve admits a Valve employee made the statement quoted in paragraph 205.

Ugh, no, feeling like i'm 30 years beyond the age span of their target audience when looking at the art style.

I'll stick to the real games. Haven't even finished the great first one, yet.

Most of the replies are quite OK, to bad they'll not retreat on the slop machine usage.

Yeah I don't know about this one, If I'm in the mood for a Monster Hunter game I'll just go play Monster Hunter (or if I'm feeling adventurous, God Eater).

As for the longer term future, we have very ambitious plans for the development of GOG, going well beyond the scope in which GOG has operated so far.

Could this be DRM-free movies? Although this has kinda been in their scope before. The selection was not very impressive. I would really like a proper DRM-free movie download service. Not that it's going to happen. It's more likely emulated classic console games or something.

This is so different from the previous Horizon games... I played it for the un-frantic-ness and for the intriguing story.

This looks like a MOBA, those are frantic, they tend to also be light on story.

I don't think this is for me.

Why on Earth someone spends a penny on that non-store is a mystery to me.

Quoting: NociferAI is selling like hotcakes

AI* is all over the place, but mostly not because any end-users of anything have bought it. Can you really call that "selling like hotcakes"?

*A term which for purposes of the current discussion I am using to mean the Large Language Model "AI" currently bubbling the economy.

I don't see end users paying (yet), but my company did buy AI access (that's supposedly not using our input for anything). Not the whatever trillions they're spending though of course. But in the millions I guess.

Even I have to admit it is selling--it's not like nobody's buying access to AI (although what most of them are paying doesn't pay for the operating costs of the requests they make), it's just that the actual uptake of customers deliberately choosing to pay, as opposed to having it wedged into their search by Google or whatever, doesn't seem to be all that high.

Quoting: CyrilWhat is "silly" is what they did to Overwatch (the first one). I think I will never understand that move.
And about Blizzard as a whole, where is Warcraft IV? WoW II? Starcraft III?

You won't be getting a Warcraft IV ever; that's what World of Warcraft was/is.

But... it's not, WoW isn't an RTS and never will. We can't reduce a game solely on its lore, it's bullshit.
Don't you think it's sad?

We shouldn't be able to just reduce a game to its lore, but as is, that's what Blizzard has done. World of Warcraft is doing better than any singular Warcraft game did, so they aren't incentivized to go and do another. And the Warcraft team is basically wholly focused on WoW (and occasionally Hearthstone, but that's firmly intrenched in the "tangentially related" category).

A Starcraft 3 is more likely as an RTS entry, in this day and age. Especially with Microsoft as their overlords and breathing down their necks.

Even without the shortages I wasn't really optimistic (if the perfs aren't better than a console released 5 years ago, whith a higher price, what's the point? Who would want to buy that outside our niche?), but now it's even worse... It's really a curse.
The good thing that remains is all the software (Proton etc), it won't go anywhere and will continue to improve. But without the (a good one) Steam Machine the hope to see improvements in other aspects: Linux adoption gain and Anti-cheats mainly is pretty dead.

I'd buy a non DDR5 option if it came at a lower cost despite lower performance, honestly.

aaaaarrrrgggghhhhh! Does the god damned garboslop ai machine have to ruin EVERYTHING...?

Damned if they do damned if they don't is right unfortunately. I guess a couple $$ price hike and a couple months delay for the machine? So we'll get it june/july for more than we wanted to spend.

Quoting: RickTheMelonThe biggest trouble with EGS is the fact it is just a store.

It's not only "just a store". It even totally sucks at exactly that point and there have been no improvements from the very beginning (that I noticed at least). I mean ... the store pages don't even tell you if a game SP/MP or not... *If* you are lucky it's somewhere in the text the dev adds, but that's just luck ...

That whole store *only* exists because of their shady business practice of throwing money at devs to either go EGS exclusive or at least be available for free for some time. Without that approach there would hardly anyone being using it at all as it simply serves *no* benefits to users over any other platform.

Quoting: DryPapHmrBro

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeIt's amazing how fast these guys are getting these recomps out

What I particularly like is how they let the user upscale but then downsample back to native res. Far better then just bumping up the internal res!

How'd you do that?

It's in the settings menu, under graphics, downsampling quality

You can bring up the settings menu ingame as well by pressing the 'back/select' button on your controller

Quoting: eldarion

Quoting: kuhpunktWhat I don't understand... if they are so hard into pushing AI at any cost, why aren't they just telling their AI to use one of the pre-existing engines like Godot or Unity or Unreal or whatever... and let the AI design levels and missions or whatever.

This crap that they are doing here is just mental. You're just playing a video stream, not a static product. Nothing "exists" here. It's just so dumb.

Because it can't do that. This so called ai can't produce nothing new, it can only copy other people's work.

But even copying would make more sense if this AI actually coded something, create a map layout based on other stuff it's stealing or whatever. But that's not what they are doing.
