Quoting: LoudTechieHaving read her post.
I'm getting really curious how well Windows on Arm binaries fare on Asahi Linux.
She emulated the moon out of it, but in theory that could get better.
I asked Hector Martin (marcan) about performance and didn't get any number, but his answer was interesting anyway, so if anyone wants to read (on Mastodon): https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/113284495545738031 [External Link]

Wait, I always thought this was already on PC. Yes, this is not a game I'm interested in as you might have guessed from my previous statement. I'm not the biggest fan of sandbox games.

The original was one of the most tense games I have ever played. Great game, just don't play it when you are stressed and need to relax!

Having a secure alternative for anti-cheat is the first step.
The second one is developers supporting the platform. Something many do not want to do even when in some cases it is as easy as enabling a checkbox.

Independently of this, great news BTW!

The original is a game I have always wanted to play and never did. This could be a good opportunity to get a GILF :grin:

Weird they go for patent infringement and not for copyright infringement

Grand Theft Auto V gets BattlEye anti-cheat, breaks online play on Steam Deck / Linux

I do not own GTAV, but if I did I would be posting a negative review on Steam. Doing these kind of things on newly released games is bad enough, but doing it on already released stuff, knowing people who payed for the game will neither be able to play it nor get a refund should be prohibited.

Quoting: Liam DaweI get that for how some people live, in that way it's a downgrade. But, I don't really believe a family sharing system is meant at all for different countries. That, really, feels like a bit of a stretch for Valve getting developers on board to allow games to be shared like this at all.

Different households in the same country though, that I feel they could (and should) relax on a bit. Like for me as a co-parent, the kiddo is between two houses in two completely different cities.
I haven't yet tested the feature, but I read in their FAQ that you can be offline while using this revamped family sharing. So is it possible that maybe you only have to verify the "under the same roof" requirement once (or once each several weeks/months)? If this is possible maybe you could visit other house, login with your account and enable family sharing there. But I'm just guessing, no idea if this will work.
I used the beta the entire time with my kids, one of whom is grown, and we haven't been under the same roof plenty of times when we played games from each other's libraries.
Awesome, then it looks like my guess was right, thanks for the info!
