Sony PlayStation reportedly moving away from PC ports

i wonder if the steam machines/ xbox made they change their minds, or if their plan was to make pc gamers get to know their games so they knew what they were losing then the sequels were no longer avaliable.

but sony is stupid, all they need to do is their own version of an steam machine, and a good client for pc, instead they chose to make less money.

California law to require operating systems to check your age
3 Mar 2026 at 4:01 am UTC Likes: 1

what about legacy software? what about legacy operating systems or software that only run properly on legacy operating systems?
what about live-cds? will secure boot be forced uppon us?
and what about content that have a different age rating depending on your region?
there is a reason why we have CERO, ESBR, PEGI, etc.

the definitons of what an certain age group can or cant see vary from country to country, some countries are more liberal with sexually sugesitve content targeted at an younger age, but not for violence, others are the opposite, how the hell they will enforce that?

Prepare for HDD availability trouble as they're getting sold out too

Quoting: eggroleWe have seen a bigger push for remote gaming via Nvidia Now and Amazon's Luna. Sure, a lot of us would hem and haw about latency, but I've played a few games on Luna to test it out (Indiana Jones, Resident Evil 2, Hogwarts) and they all played "good enough". For the masses that aren't surfing video game websites, it will almost certainly be more than good enough.

looks like they are using video data from geforce now to train their ai as well

if they can stop us from storing data locally, they can stop us from preserving content (eg: piracy) as well.
its much easier to take down an company like they did with the mega upload or force then to remove some content, and much easier to force then to comply to scam their machines for infringing content then take it down, then do that in billions of end users machines.

not to mention they are using ai to scan the internet for piracy websites, to take then down, and arresting some of the biggest distributors.

hell, laws like the UK that force people to identify thenselves before they go to any social media website have even convinced some piracy websites to take down some types of content to "obey the law" ... yeah piracy websites following the laws...

purchase as many hdd/ssd as you can, hell even blurays/dvds if they are cheaper , backup as much thing as possible, split efforts with friends to backup as many different things as possible, companies like netflix will love to see us not being able to download and store stuff anymore, not to mention services like geforce now with the rest of the components.

Unity CEO says an upcoming Beta will allow people to "prompt full casual games into existence"

a lot of people reject everything made by AI, now many people will see any game made with Unity and think: oh no, it was made by AI... and refuse to play the game.

Congratulations Unity.

Godot Engine suffering from lots of "AI slop" code submissions
18 Feb 2026 at 2:32 pm UTC Likes: 10

one solution that i saw that WILL cause backslash... was to charge to submit an issue, and refund if the issue was legitimate.

that would limit how much the "ai bros" can flood the repo with bad submissions, and help pay the costs of reviewing the submissions
