Proprietary games using GNU/Linux APIs are bad. For example, Egosoft's X3 uses a GTK2 application to launch and GTK2 is no longer being updated (it's even been removed from the official Arch repositories). Because it's proprietary software the community can't just take it over and update it to use GTK3 or 4.

I suppose a better way to put it is that native GNU/Linux games aren't bad, they just need more machinery to keep working than games targetting the Windows APIs (although of course one could just set up a system with ancient versions of everything, I mean that's Debian's entire shtick).

But I like having 3 different versions of GTK and Python installed on my machine. It makes it look more haxxorz when I run updates through terminal and there's a million updates. :P

Cool, now hopefully they'll add tester jobs on their hiring page. I tried to get a job there, cause they're here in Detroit, but didn't even get an interview. D:

Quoting: Doktor-MandrakeYou don't really get console "generations" like we use to, when a new console offered a generational difference in terms of what games could do, it's more incremental increases, higher res, higher fps, better raytracing

The next generation of consoles will feature AI that plays games for you and they will advertise it as a replacement for twitch and youtube. Why watch some random dudes play games when you can have your best friend Cortana play the game before your very eyes, all the while unlocking accolades on your account.

Reading this reminds me of the xbox one launch lol

"TV"

"Streaming"

More TV, and then some more streaming

"Sports"

Yeah OK xbox, but where's the fun games to get excited about?!

To be fair, I liked the TV aspect of the Xbone and would've used it, but that was when I still had/wanted cable. (Though the USB antenna dongle was cool too if you didn't have cable.)

What pissed me off with the Xbone announcement was the whole software keys for physical games, but that was thankfully abandoned. The Xbone was never gonna be my main console that gen and when I did finally get my Xbox One X, it was for exclusives, Play Anywhere titles, and western 3rd party console games.

You had right-wing assholes calling California dumb or whatever for the age verification bullshit. But I'm sure that the redneck states doing it is either okay, not a big deal, or cause "the liberals are doing it too." Always some sorta excuse, spin, or opportunism. Seriously, fuck American bullshit period and fuck imperialism forcing it on everyone else.
