Quoting: Shmerl

Quoting: elmapulepic games "fighting against exclusivity" and monopolization of pc games.

That's a strange one, given Epic are signing exclusive contracts. They are on the wrong side of things.

according to then, they would stop it, if valve reduces their cut to 12%, wich didnt happened

Quoting: GuestWhat anti-cheat is WoW using? I mean we can play it for years on Linux without problems and there is competetive gaming too in the PvP area.

Quoting: PublicNuisanceSo this is where we are in Linux gaming ? Getting in bed with intrusive DRM is met with cheers ? Guess I can't be shocked we're no better than the rest of the PC gaming platform on that regard. I was already more willing to support Itch.io or GOG for their DRM practices and I see this news as strengthening that and pushing me farther away from Steam. It's bad enough they allow games on their store to use Denuvo but to bake it into Steamworks is a worse step not a better one. They have the market and the clout to fight against this nonsense but it just shows they value money above all else which is something that those who say they love Linux should start opening their eyes to.

we have to lose some battles in order to win "the war".

epic games "fighting against exclusivity" and monopolization of pc games.
cdpr/gog fighting against drm.
valve fighting against the windows monopoly

everyone "fighting" in different fronts, helping gog will make steam weaker, helping steam will make gog weaker, we have to pick our poison.

i think we should let the fight against drm with the windows users, while we fight for linux marketshare, we can join they in their fight later on, but we dont have enough people/resources to fight in both fronts at the same time.
run today, live to fight tomorrow.

"Denuvo Anti-Cheat is heavily dependent on hardware security features which makes it fairly kernel-agnostic, s"
the same tech behind nsa spywares and drm is used for anti cheats...
i dont like this, stadia seems like an less intrusive option for those games.
as long as the game is not an stadia exclusive (it also have an version for pc or any other platform) the risk of losing the preservation of the game is mitigated

useless.
we still need an clear advantage of using linux.
like an big performance improvment in many games, an big exclusive game or some exclusive new features like the raytracing one.

i think we should fund projects like this, trying to fund it more than the windows users do dont seems like an unreasonable goal, and if the linux version gets priority or an better performance than the windows version (due to the difference in performance of linux)then this will give a lot of gamers an incentive to give linux an try even if they chose to dualboot

Quoting: sarmad

Quoting: elmapulchromeOS taking ages to do that, meanwhile microsoft WSL come out of nowhere and its running fine...
i cant undertand that

Maybe because Microsoft has only one operating system to work on, while Google for some mysterious reason has three?

its their own fault, not mine.
they created an problem for thenselves for some reason...

open sourcing an existing sucessfull comercial game is a thing...
i cant be sure that developing one in open source works...
its easier to find help if you already have an fanbase and already profited from an minimum viable product.

" RPCS3 Corruption observed on Game window on Navi10"
i know that emulators arent illegal, but can we spend an minute to talk about how amd is the manufacturer for ps4, ps5, xbox one, xbox series cpu/gpu and at the same time they fix bugs related to emulators and report this on the list of fixes on the driver relase notes?
kinda curious if you ask me...
