This is the game that inspired project zomboid and they simplified their game because they thought cdda was to complicated if that tells you anything 😅

Quoting: EikeI can understand frustration there. Imagine you were a software developer working for a cool company with some of the coolest franchises out there - and you're not allowed to work on them, for years, for decades maybe...

As I understand Valve's corporate structure, it's the employees who more or less decide the direction of the company. So it's not like there are a bunch of people champing at the bit to make new games but the bosses won't let them. If enough people got together and decided they wanted to make Half-Life 3, or Portal 3, or whatever, Gabe wouldn't stop them. The real question is why there's no momentum internally to get those projects rolling.

There is the infamous Valve employee handbook [External Link].

Total PR stunt btw. No such document existed before or after and is just a recruiting tool. Valve's problems is it's rockstar developers lead the charge on everything and juniors who don't fall in line risk termination.

At least one former Valve employee has gone on record to say that the handbook is real. However, she does agree with you that there are people within the company who have managed to acquire quite a lot of internal influence which rather defeats the purpose of a flat management structure.

The handbook is real in that exists but not much more. Appreciate you citing the sources that I was too lazy to find myself 😅.

Cheat Engine is just an example lads. WerWolv (the dev) stated as such on the reddit thread announcing it's release.

With DDR5 prices being what they are, I'd much rather just by the latest AMD hardware... Not to mention that price, ooof.

Quoting: Rafii2198Wait, Minecraft from Windows Store? Is it now playable on Linux? Or did I not understand correctly?

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition is just the Bedrock version aka the C++ rewrite of Java minecraft.

Alright, Nvidia doing something half-decent for once. I say it should be forked and taken out of Nvidia's control so that they can't screw it up in the future.

Quoting: henriquecariocaguys, test Stadia too, it runs linux on servers
This does not oblige developers to have the game on Steam for Linux but it certainly helps the Steam Deck to have native games going forward.
Microsoft still wants to keep developers locked into their platforms
And one of the FUD attacks that Stadia suffers is using Linux as a pretext and the lower quality of games that Stadia has for using Linux.

Dude, stadia is absolute garbage and honestly does a disservice to the name Linux.
A) It's a game streaming service so it should be opposed from the beginning.
B) It has barely any games anyone actually gives a shit about on it.
C) FUD related Stadia being linux based has nothing to do with Stadia not being successful. It has everything to do with Google moving onto their next new toy and well: Stadia was never good and only could have been good if Google had actually cared enough.
