Quoting: MalOk cool but... what the hell is a "used digital game"?!? A digital game with some scratches on the pixels of the loading screen or the colors of the main character weared down? :D

With bitrot, maybe?

... so future mint collectors of used digital games will all be ardent ZFS users.

I gave in to my curiosity, and downloaded the whole thing ... but AssCreed 1 still doesn't work. I wonder how the folks on youtube got it to work.

Quoting: NeverthelessThey will launch with titles from those devs/publishers:

That's interesting. I'm really curious about the DRM policy, though. The publishers mentioned in that tweet are all (I think) GOG-friendly publishers. But could they go the exact opposite route this time, implementing some sort of BLOCKCHAIN (yeah they like that term a lot) DRM to keep track of who's buying & selling & keeping what???

Quoting: Comandante ÑoñardoMore competence is coming from ROBOTCACHE [External Link], the digital distribution store that allow You to re-sell your games.

Heard anything about Linux support?

I just took a peek, and it really looks like everything depends on developer/publisher support*; and needless to say it can only work on drm-free titles**. There's no clue as to cross-platform buying or selling. There's no clue as to whether they have any publishers on board either.

(* That's true for any kind of store, obviously; what I mean is that it depends whether the publishers will be on board with the 'percentages from used sales' model that they're proposing.)

(** That's not true; I should have said: It can only work with titles that do not implement existing types of drm, like steam, uplay, etc.)

SteamPlay DXVK With Core i3 8350K Tri-Core @ 5.0ghz + CoolerMaster Hyper T4

I think you need to edit the link to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuES02HzDDs [External Link]

... so DXVK finally works on AC1? Out of the box? There are no updates on protondb just yet.
I also wonder if there's any improvement on the uplay drm'ed titles (AC1 has no uplay/drm).

Quoting: Guesttouching love for the Apple ][. i ignore nearly everything about this machine. (One day, i will get a true working Amiga...)

I think you're using 'ignore' as a transliteration of the French j'ignore, which simply means 'I lack knowledge ...'; in the colloquial English sense, though, it doesn't really deserve to be 'ignored' (treated as a non-entity)! I was a Commodore kid growing up (though I did get to use Apple ][s at school), but the more I learn about the machine -- especially its extensible/hackable/*completely* user-serviceable design [yeah, the exact opposite of today's Apple], and the community that grew around it -- the more impressed I become. Apple ][ (//e, etc.) series did cost a lot more than Commodore's 8 bit machines, but they had great 80-col. support, & professional software; whereas Commodore went for volume of sales, and not much else (insisting on selling machines at Toys'R'US, alienating computer resellers, and becoming invisible in the 'serious' market as a result).

Totally off-topic interjection: If you're at all wondering why Romero's site has an Apple logo, rather than something 'beautifully demonic' (haha) as its 'little icon' on the browser tab, it's because having started on an Apple ], Romero's a a huge fan of the fruit company. (Oh, and he probably made the site on some Mac utility, and left it there.)

Check out these videos of him gushing over the Apple II (later on iOS as well) at his 2012 appearance at the 'Kansasfest': [Romero - Keynote [External Link] / Romero - Q&A [External Link]

Quoting: massatt212I Doubt CD Project are going to use DX12 That API is Garbage at its best and to risk so many bugs with it, they are gonna go Vulkan or prob DX11 and DX12, if they do DX 12 many people will have to upgrade to Windows 10 just to play.

It's highly unlikely that they'd go 'DX12 only', considering that they're releasing for the PS4 as well.

Quoting: FredOIt looks like Supergiant's next game Hades will have an Early Access release on the Epic Store. I don't see any mention of it on Steam yet. Let the exclusives begin...

Likewise for the formerly PS exclusive 'Journey'.
Having seen the video by Matthewmatosis, I'm really intrigued by that one.
