Can't wait for Re-DENUVO with double and triple the DRM appearing in games.

How long before this software suit requires age verification and constant camera feed to ensure you aren't doing something they don't like... like having fun...

Bet Sony spending a fair bit of money trying to patch all these holes out.
Bit of a scenario of them shooting themselves in the foot because having a way to install Linux on these consoles will make them MUCH more popular and people will naturally buy the games for them anyway.

BUT they won't see it that way; gotta waste money and ruin everyone's fun, the corporate motto!

I've read they are now putting more DRM into consoles; wonder how long until Age Verification comes and you are required to have Face and ID scans to even turn the things on.... what a world!

I do wish Steam Machines were going to be affordable alternatives, but it seems that won't be happening for quite some time! Onward and Downward into the fiery pits we go!!!! :)

AUD 149,

Hmmm, really doubt its worth that. Even $100AUD I was going to be skeptical. Will wait and see how people respond. I'm not going for a steam machine thing, AMD7600 gpu, its going to also come at a premium.

The Steam Frame certainly sounds interesting, but again, another expensive VR toy. By the time I get around to getting one its likely going to be 2030 at this rate.
I'm also not sold on old style LCD panels as they have way too much backlit bleed and incapable of producing blacks which imo is important for VR. Maybe Sony's new LCD technology can save VR LCD solutions down the road if it ever comes to them. mOLED still being too expensive and not very compatible with compact lens tech. (cuts out too much light, causes DIM image)

Mass surveillance and mass control.

Every month we etch closer and closer to a China CCP level of individual control.
One day the world is going to wake up to the social & media engineering(manipulation) going on.

People who advocate for this level of government overreach in everyone's lives deserve the hellscape of their own creation!

I see too many people willing to give up everything for comfort/platitudes/virtue/emotions; handing over all control and rights to governments and corporations...DARK DAYS AHEAD!

Be cool if they updated and also made it like some future horror war instead. To give people something truly new rather then just a reskin with better UI....

I do wonder how long until this extends to ALL software. Imagine having to have your face and id scanned to play a game or use an adobe app.

That's usually how bureaucracy goes, it just keeps spreading like a cancer until nothing can move!

One of the biggest issues with modding Windows games under Linux is related to RETRO games, or OLD GAMES which have OLD windows tools that don't like wine for whatever reason.

A good example of this is the modding tools for Dragon Age Inquisition, and I think DA2 as well. But there are many other examples where the modding tools straight up have a fit under wine! resulting in almost all mods being unusable!

Like many, I didn't even know it existed until now. And it looks like a decent Star Trek Flick game.

Is it a complete game or kind of broken development title?

Wish Fallout76 did this, give the user more control in who and how they want to play. But nope, you want self-hosted, then pay a subscription... pfft.

Hope someone hacks FO76 in time to give us at-home-self-hosted options and let friends join via TCP/UDP. The dream. Because then you could run some real wild mods provided friends also have the mods.
