Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

Well goodbye Lutris!!! I hope you enjoyed your stay in the good graces of the Linux community. It’s over now. Just pack up your things and close the doors. There’s no shortage of alternatives of what you do and saying “I know you guys hate this so I’ll just keep doing it but hide it better” is grade A assholery. No one will miss you.

I'm usually not much for 2d side scrollers, but that video actually looked pretty interesting. Wishlisted!

This is great of Carl. Someone needs to stand up against these moronic politicians. He's in a good place to do so!

Sounds similar to what Owlcat did right?

Speaking of Stardock: Elemental Reforged leaves EA next week!! wooo!! Man the releases are just so many. TIME. WHERE IS MY TIME. I NEED MORE.

Today was Greedfall 2, and next week is Elemental Reforged. And I have like a dozen others that are recent too!

Another new lawsuit against Valve in Washington USA takes aim at lootboxes

Quoting: Eocene84I mean, Valve knew what they were doing all this time. They had to have known they were playing with fire. They've been playing Russian roulette with this stuff, and the bullet may have finally struck. They could have and should have stopped years ago, but I have a feeling greed overruled rationality, as it usually does.

That being said, I doubt this lawsuit gets anywhere near billions. Hopefully it puts an end to this practice though. Hey, if Valve loses this revenue stream, then maybe they will be incentivized to make new games.
These are my exact feelings as well. Lets put an end to this miserable practice. It's for sure hurting people.

While I don't understand the deep technical stuff, overall this sounds like a big win for pretty much everyone right? The developers, maintainers, gamers, etc...?

Performing Right Society (PRS) sues Valve over video game music

This is so stupid it makes my brain hurt. I tend to keep writing that phrase around here lately, yikes. So many things going on with legal stuff and politics that warrant that response.

In this case:

Great video games rely on great soundtracks, and the songwriters and creators behind them deserve to have their contribution recognised and fairly valued.
did this caveman Dan Gopal just invalidate his entire legal proceeding with that sentence?!?!?!?!? 🤣 Yes Dan, great games do rely on great soundtracks, yes Dan, they do. Yes Dan, you should absolutely have the game developers pay licenses for that music, yes Dan. You know what I didn't see anywhere in your statement Dan? Anything about a storefront Dan. Oops you forgot something Dan.

SteamOS 3.7.20 released with NTSync driver, plus big new Steam Client update for all

My dream for a steam update one day (I am a simple person):

  • it actually exits properly when I press "steam -> exit" and doesn't just sit there forever with a screen that says "steam is shutting down" or whatever, which makes me go to the task manager and force stop the mofo.

  • a "download all" button for updates on the download screen

PRAGMATA from Capcom has the release date moved closer in April

I really want to try and like this game, but I had SUCH a horrible technical experience with Dragons Dogma 2 I feel like I can't trust capcom anymore :(
