It would have been a nicer solution to get mangohud working on Windows & Mac rather than having to reinvent the wheel. Mangohud/mangoapp has worked so well on the Deck. I guess they hit some kind of roadblock for that approach.

And that's what I meant. Also, they clearly hit a roadblock on their ground-up solution on Linux as well, so it's not really a good excuse to make a new one either.

I just get confused with the NIH mentality, when you'd think Valve would take in community effort like they have been before, instead of reinventing the wheel.

Lastly, since they want a solution that works across platforms, are they going to ditch mangohud and replace it with their new solution ? Wouldn't make sense to have then both together right ? More unnecessary confusion in the Linux world..

MangoHud is only supported on Linux.

That's what I meant. For Linux, use MangoHud. For Windows, whatever theyre developing right now.

Why not just plug the whole of MangoHud into Steam for Linux and call it a day ?

I hope Stellar Blade makes them come to their senses in other areas as well :wink:

I think the problem with Microsoft entering the ring is that you know for a fact they won't play nice at all, and they will resort to more monopolizing practices which they have the power to, if they must.

They'll never change.

They'll never change... they'll never change ! ever since they were 95, always the same ! couldn't keep their hands off the monopolistic practices... and they get to be a leading PC publisher ?! What a sick joke !

Not to pretend I know how schedules and game releasing work. But if they're sure it's at most *checks calendar* 5 months away from release, how are they not comfortable with making an official date now ? Feels rather strange.

So the super hyped up "third party store integration into Xbox" is just allowing users to go into Desktop, install Steam, Epic etc, download the games there, then the games .exe's will show up in the Xbox interface ? Meaning it's the same as SteamOS ? Are these 'fans' and website 'journalists' just Microsoft employees spreading FUD or something ? or are they that ignorant ?

Appreciate the roundup, as I missed the fact a new Plague Tale game is announced.

I guess you're not encompassing all the showcases though ? From the top of my head, the 007 game and the game 'ILL' are not mentioned here.

About the screenshot: The real reason why we're so deep into this bad state for the industry, is because you have people excusing that shit. Unreal.
