the kings of video game preservation teaming up with someone developing an tech that may kill video game preservation...

im not sure how i feel about that.

this might go 2 ways, either cloud gaming sucess can become dependent on an guarantee that we will have offline drm free ways to keep acessing our games...
or the new generation of gamers may grow used to not downloading their games, not even having an hardware capable of runing then and gog change their policies in the future to backstab us (maybe not for old purchases but for new ones) and people who are used to not own anything dont see the issue until its too late because we already have tons of cloud exclusive games that disapear by the time they realize that was a bad idea.

Quoting: CatKillerIt very much sounds like a scam to extract money from venture capitalists.

well at least it will be from venture capitalists lol

Well, sadly this money isn't their own but from the small people in search of a way to invest a little money to supplement their pension, whom they sell shitty financial products with big promises but no real return.

yeah you probably is right =\

Quoting: benstor214What's with the words popping up in the video? Am I supposed to karaoke along?

they tried to provide their own captions with some tech, i think (the tech) is open source, i remember that someone was developing an great tool for that, but the fact that they let one word at the time instead of one line or two make it harder to read, not to mention this tool dont know the word godot and write it differently each time this word appear.

they should soft sub it instead of hardsubing it.

Quoting: pleasereadthemanualThe Verge article is very enlightening on many subjects. Please give it a read if you haven't: https://www.theverge.com/24090470/playtron-gaming-os-linux-handhelds-exclusive

Further excerpts from The Verge article:

QuotePlaytron will cost companies like Ayaneo a fraction of the price of Windows, he says, around $10 per head instead of the $80 that OEMs tell him they spend today. And he says games like Fortnite and Roblox shouldn’t have to fear hackers reverse engineering their anti-cheat solutions because its Fedora Silverblue base has an immutable file system. (I thought SteamOS was immutable, too, but I’ll let more knowledgeable Linux users argue that one.)

what a load of bullshit.
imutable distros arent that hard to break into, at the worst case scenario you fork it and sundely you have an system with anti cheat disabled.
or maybe their anti cheat solution is proprietary but then they enter in a minefield of GPL.

Quoting: PenglingGiven the names involved, hopefully this won't end up being yet another one of those cases where it's revealed as a Linux box and then there's a bait-and-switch to "Oops, we're shipping with Windows instead because people asked for it!".

Well, the entire idea is based around it being Linux, so that won't happen.

the issue is that this look like a solution in search for a problem

QuoteAnd they say to expect "Playtron on Laptops & PCs, TVs, XR and in Car in the coming years",

i saw this movie before.
canonical promissing their own display server , promossing to make an OS for TVs, phones, Tablets, pcs...

looks like they are trying to attract investors by promissing more than they can fulfill, yet i never heard of this company before.

this mockup device on the picture dont help the lack of buttons proves they dont know what they are doing, maybe its just an concept pic and the real device will be different, but i wouldnt use an picture like this even as a concept if i wanted to inspire confidence, unless they are targeting mobile gamers.
