Quoting: honestmaxxSounds like a Steam Deck limitation.

It's also a Linux desktop limitation as well because there are those that play on it that won't be able to enjoy the game for the same reasons as Steam Deck users.

Good thing I didn't care too much about the multiplayer parts of the game and completed the stories to get something out of it before the crappy anti-cheat gets added this week on the Steam Deck. :smile:

Quoting: Linux_RocksHow long until a GTA-style Borderlands game? 🤔

Going by GTA time, you'll have to wait for at least a decade before it ever becomes a thing.

Pretty interesting list of companies in this showcase and hopefully, there's some good games that come out of it that'll work on the Steam Deck/Linux :smile:

Quoting: finaldestSo EA are breaking Steam Deck support for their back catalogue of games one by one?
Why would EA suddenly decide to add Anti Cheat to their back catalogue of old games?

I smell a big rat with that kind of behaviour.

I guess Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo has a hand in this. I guess one of them has new hardware on the way, A new handheld maybe.

I will put tinfoil away now.

Between those three, I'm picking Microsoft because of the recent rumors about them making a handheld and Nintendo can't do crap about EA because they're too busy finding other means to screw customers without resorting to kernel anti-cheat.

I guess EA took my $3.99 for this game during that sale of theirs on Steam and now, I can't play this on Steam Deck once they add this crappy anti-cheat. I just have to hope that this doesn't affect the single player portion of the game but I doubt it.

On top of that, the EA launcher is one of the worse ones out there for the Steam Deck and it tends to break so many times over that Valve has to fix it on their Proton updates.

Quoting: Marlockcan any of the xbox players around here exolain the appeal of the left analogue being so far up, arguably less comfortable to use than the d-pad?

From what I can remember back in the Xbox 360 days, the position on the left analog sticks made it easier to play first person shooters than the Dualshock 3.

I hope no one thinks Nova means "no go" in Spanish because if they can't get their replacement working out right, then you know the name sounds appropriate. However, I'm sure in due time, they'll sort it out and hopefully, make something better than Nouveau. Now, I must be feeling old because that name reminds me of the early 2000s with trying to get those Nvidia cards working on Linux with little success.

Quoting: JuliusI don't get what the point of the Ryzen 8840U version is. Seems to be the same specs as the 7840U just with a faster NPU, which is AFAIK completely useless in a handheld like this.

I agree that there's no point of having the 8840U and they should've of just used the 7840U but bumped the specs to be something like 32GB RAM/512GB SSD combo for $599 instead. Other than that, if I was in the market to buy one, I would opt for the version with 32GB RAM whenever it becomes available to preorder.

Quoting: Purple Library GuyI don't think anyone doing emulation is claiming that Nintendo or whoever should be forced to do cross-platform development and deliver their software on all platforms.

Since they're so attached to releasing vastly-underpowered hardware that isn't price-competitive with other offerings (which was a fair approach in the past because their style of content and refusal to bow to DLC and subscriptions and so on were the differentiator, but not so much these days when Nintendo is like any other company now and you can get plenty of old-Nintendo-like experiences without Nintendo being in the picture at all), and since I'm sure after what happened with Palworld (which outsold in a month what the most recent Pokemon title sold in an entire year) there'll be questions from their shareholders, I'd honestly be interested in seeing a compromise much like Sony makes with their PC releases. That being, exclusive first, then PC later.

I can't even fathom the numbers that Nintendo would sell if, when they introduce their next console, they start selling emulator-wrapped re-releases of stuff from a couple of generations back, giving it a new life for presumably quite little outlay, whilst not eating into their current offerings. They've already sold 1.2 billion units of Switch software [External Link] over the last seven years, and again, given the Palworld thing above, there's clearly an audience outside of their platforms that would very likely be interested.

I can't see Nintendo going the same route as Sony when releasing their games on PC because they seem to be that type of company that loves to stick to traditions, even if their shareholders wants them to expand like they did when they put some games on mobile phones. Also, I can't imagine their team would be able to make their games shine on PC and would do the absolute minimum amount of work to charge the customers $70 like they do on consoles. Overall, they'll continue to do what they do best by giving customer underpowered devices while raking in the money with their first party games despite the fact that their games could look a lot better with powerful hardware.

Quoting: TriasIt was on Steam [External Link] previously. And you can still find keys on some third party resellers, but they cost like 90 euros now. Which is probably too much for a simple convenience...

Right but the GOG version has a lot of changes to it to make it run better than the one that was on Steam and I was just wondering if they'll ever put up that version in the future.

Quoting: NozoSince Yuzu is under the GPLv3 license, someone should contact the FSF to keep an eye on Nintendo and begin tracking any potential GPL violation perpetuated by the company, Nintendo may want to see how far they can stretch this.

How funny would it be if the next Nintendo console actually uses Yuzu for backward compatibility... and then the FSF sues them for not releasing the code changes...

I was thinking the same thing since they brought something about not being sure if Switch 2 was going to be backwards compatible and I'd love it if FSF did come after them for it :grin:
