If I were Twitch I'd be getting really nervous.

You'd be... twitchy?

I'll see myself out.

On topic, that's disgusting. I bet poor ol' bezzie could've kept all of these people employed until their retirement had he used 0.1% of his fortune.

Looks pretty interesting, time to give the demo a spin!

I for one am really happy about this. 2 years on fedora and so far it's been a bliss compared to all other distro I tried.

(as for the AI part, posted my opinion in the other post as that was more relevant than here)

I hate the AI circlejerk, the models are built by greedy corporations appropriating the work of thousands without a second thought. Then they sell it to the mass (keeping the money for themselves ofc). Then most people proceed to use "AI" to generate a flood of approximate junk they smear all over the world. The noise makes it harder to reach quality information and reinforces the use of LLM models.

But with that said, LLMs are just tools. Whether they're used for good or bad is in the hand of the wielder.

For example, Daniel Stenberg publicly (and rightfully) denounced a flood of "ai slop" security reports to cURL [External Link]. But the same person also acknowledged [External Link] the relevance of a massive report openly built using "AI-based" tools [External Link].

If anything, open source projects are the most rightful beneficiaries of LLM-powered improvements since most available models heavily leverage open source code.

I'd much rather trust a project that acknowledge LLM-based tools and handle them appropriately than one which pretends they don't exist and nobody uses them.

If there already is a native port, it is always better to fix that port (if possible/feasible) instead of just nuking it and relying on the Windows version running using Proton.

To me, adding new content and fixing bugs make a game better. Changing how my computer reads the 1s and 0s, does not. As such I'd rather they spend whatever resource they have making the game better, rather than the binary more linux-y.

The problem is not specifically Linux users cheating, it’s Linux being a platform repeatedly abused by cheat makers to run them. So it makes Linux an easy target to just block. Low hanging fruit in the fight against cheaters.

Also implementing kernel-level anti-cheat on linux would...

• require skilled linux kernel devs


• require extra maintenance


• not increase sales much


• likely be easier to circumvent due to the kernel being open source

In short it would be a terrible return on investment.

I still have some hope for valve or a government to label kernel level anti-cheats as the terrible security liability they are and ban them.

A few picks from my collection (good games which ran great for me on linux):

- The wandering village
- Deep Rock Galactic (all DLCs are purely cosmetic)
- Wildmender
- Bastion
- Transistor
- FAR: Lone Sail
- Pine

Let us hope the next gem by hazelight is not published by EA. Thankfully they're not a subsidiary so there is hope.

Looking forward to playing that one! I can never get enough of these coop adventure games.

Also can I just point out that it really irks me when people use reviews as a grievance form for what's obviously a bug.

I haven't looked too much into it but apparently people have already modded the demo.
Wouldn't be surprised if we get an offline patch within launch week.
Still absolutely ridiculous but at least SEGA incompetence might come to the rescue.

Unfortunately I'd wager denuvo will prevent moders from fixing the game.
