hi let's hope that Valve has the backbone to tell this patent troll where to stick their patents and they make a steam controller 2 or they start making the steam controller 1

Quoting: GuestI think the time is over to think of MS as the pure evil in a company form.

NO M$ is pure evil in a company form why do you think you can not remove telemetry or disable auto updates without hacking the system this is getting into a rant about why I HATE !!! M$ embrace extend extinguish today's M$ is the same M$ as old pure evil

Quoting: TheRiddickDo people really love Activation and Blizzard that much?

Quoting: F.Ultra

Quoting: dirkdierickxMS will gladly make these changes, but probably violate them before those 10 years are up. EU will fine MS, but as usual the fine(s) will be peanuts and MS will be happy to pay.

EU fines does not work the same as US fines, EU fines are increased until you comply.

shame, if that is true, they haven't ordered M$ to remove the telemetry spyware/pup (potentially unwanted program) from Windows and other software and most of my time gaming is done on GNU/Linux and I do not plan on downgrading to windows 10/12 for my mane windows install but I do have Windows 10 installed but I only have that for when I can not run software/games on my current install of Windows

Quoting: Redhacker2

Quoting: legluondunetThe gap between today's consoles and working emulators is narrowing. We had never known an emulator that emulates a console still on sale. I don't think it's ethical to publicly release an emulator of a console that's still on sale, in my view, developers should at least wait for the end of life of a console. Nintendo is an innovative company and produces user-friendly games, switch emulators must be costing them a lot of money.

Emulators don't cost them anything. Anyone who pirates wasn't going to buy the game to begin with for the most part, nor were they going to buy the console.

To play legally, you both require an actual hackable switch's key and your own dumps from a hacked switch.

Also, Nintendo is one of the most anti-consumer companies to exist in the gaming industry right now.

"Anyone who pirates wasn't going to buy the game to begin with" That depends if the pirate is an ethical pirate one that downloads the game and plays it to see if it is worth buying and if it is a good game they buy it

IMHO the AAA game industry's actions make people pirate the games not having demos to test the game or the DRM being so S**t the pirates get the better experience or the cost of the games selling a digital game at the same price as a physical copy of the game or closing down the digital shops

Quoting: Teodosio1) This is why we should always ask for Native releases; Proton is just a fallback

And yet now every time someone does express interest in working on a native version, the masses now scream for them not to because we have Proton and native releases will forever suck/be a waste.

the problem with native Linux games is how well they get supported but a lot of the AAA games that have native Linux ports get little support or no support or are missing features or DLC

IMHO this is not a loss
games like this that have an in-game currency that you need to spend real money to get microtransactions or games that have loot boxes or as EA likes to call them surprise mechanics these games need to be banned

hi
yes Microsoft and Activision are not good companies but IMHO Microsoft is the worst company that Activision can get bought out by

when it comes to the desktop for gaming Microsoft has a monopoly and they also have the Xbox do you think they are going to rales games for the PlayStation or any other rival system I do not think so just looking at the List of Microsoft video games Wikipedia page there are just 8 that where relets on the PlayStation and 7 on a Nintendo system there may be more

IMHO I do not trust Microsoft and its data telemetry I know how bad bug reports can be from the average user but I do not think Microsoft sees Windows as a high priority just look at the number of bad updates that have been released that's why I use GNU/Linux as my main os

I have a BIG list of changes that Microsoft needs to change in Windows for me to go back to Windows but that is getting offtopic

hi
is it just me this is not working for me I have tested installing a game I have installed on my main computer on my laptop but I do not get the information bar transferring game files on local network from Device MainComputer

Both Steam clients must be online and see each other directly on the same LAN (no downloads while either Steam client is in offline-mode)

my main computer and the laptop are connected to the same LAN and are not in offline-mode

Game File Transfer settings on both devices must allow a transfer (e.g. if both have "Friends only" set, they must be Steam friends)

I have tested the setting "Only my own devices" and "Any user" with both having the same setting

Game content can only be transferred out if the transferring Steam client is idle, e.g. no downloads or games running.

the Steam client on my main computer is idle

The game needs to released to the public and playable by both Steam users (no preloads)

the games tested have been released

The game needs to be up-to-date on the PC sending the game files
Only a PC running in Steam desktop mode can send files. So Steam Decks, PCs in Big Picture mode, and custom launchers can currently not transfer files out over the local network.

the games tested are up-to-date and both are on the Steam desktop mode

my main computer and the laptop are on the Steam Beta
Only my own devices
Any user

Edit
Tested with half-life 2 it started to transfer the game files over the network then it stopped transferring game files over the network after transferring about 200MB then I pause the download and verified half life 2 game files and opened the game and then closed the game then resumed the download it transferred about 1 GB over the network then it stopped transferring the game files over the network

Quoting: RustyConsidering all of the code is reverse-engineered and all the assets are extracted from a ROM, there's not really much Nintendo can do here. The case law isn't on their side. This is why we have projects like sm64pc and Ship of Harkinian.

If only you could be right, remember Rockstar GTA 3 and Re3 github project...

that project did not get clean room reverse-engineered but Rockstar has failed to take down the code for that project HA HA
