Quoting: PaldinoXit's highlighting a big game release that probably won't work for us.

So it's more like taunting than informing, lol. Now I think it's even more odd. ;-)

Quoting: Liam DaweI'm just at a loss as to what is "odd" about it. The entire purpose of the website is to highlight gaming on Linux, working or not.

There is no gaming on Linux if it doesn't work.

Quoting: Liam DaweThis is normal stuff for us. There is nothing odd about it. This is what we do.

That's totally fine. But I will keep finding it odd.

Quoting: Liam DaweWhat's odd about it?

It's an article informing readers about a title that could be the next big popular multiplayer game, and how it will likely not work.

What an odd piece of information to publish on GamingOnLinux.

Quoting: poiuz"Basically everyone is using AI."

Quoting: KROMOf course. It's a tool

So what's stopping them from disclosure? Are thy ashamed of using "a tool"? I don't see developers hiding the fact that they use unity, and some consumers will avoid unity for example because of some specific problems unity games tend to have on their computers. So what? It's our right. It's also our right to know if the code was produced using genAI, because for example some people have a stance against supporting such products because of the social or environmental costs etc. Devs are free to choose their tools, consumers are free to choose their purchases.

We have obligatory lists of ingredients on food products, cosmetics, detergents - not only because of allergens, but simply because we (the consumers) have the right to know what kinds of shit went in there, before we buy. I'm not necessarily saying it should be obligatory to disclose the full toolbox used to make a game, but it would certainly be well received and I hope it will become a good practice.

The only reason these companies keep trying to make the next online hit is to push these microtransactions and cosmetics (which don't sell so well in single-player games), so it's obvious from the get-go that they will shut it down if they don't meet some corporate targets down the line. These games are essentially born dead.

Quoting: Cley_FayeIt was unlikely, but I kinda hoped there would be some hardware release date announcements too :D

There's a 2-week gap between 25.05 and 8.06, just saying... and another in November (2-16).

Quoting: dannielloAnd in the near future - Steam Pocket. The first true Linux phone with decent performance! (of course advertised as only for gaming, so Google should be OK with it... In the same sense like Steam Machine is just Linux PC so Sony and Microsoft also should be OK with it;)

Yes, google, there is absolutely no need to worry about steam running on ARM and inviting APKs to Steam, no need at all. ;-)

Quoting: Purple Library GuyThis is getting freaky. I expect progress to be spiky--a zig or two up, then a zag down, but overall the zigs bigger. This is crazy . . . the progress since September is about equal to our whole share at a low point a few years ago!

What about +147% since last February?
(I know it was a dip, but still)
