Quoting: MayeulCFirstly, are you sure it's wifi and not some other
I meant to say Wireless, so yes I think mouse is bluetooth and keyboard 2.4? K800 keyboard and G604 mouse (logitech brands). Long battery life devices (1-3months)

I use wifi keyboard and mouse and have no issues with latency. Then again I only play at 4k 60hz, no doubt at 144hz there maybe a noticeable difference.

Quoting: NumericThis is what makes Valve's product different. Could you imagine a corporation like Apple or Nintendo ever making a video like this?
I think those companies would sooner start a nuclear war then make such a video! lmao

I don't know why developers would stick with a older version of EAC; why have any AC at all if your not going to keep it up to date.

Trouble is brewing over on GOG due to the HITMAN release needing online for some features

Quoting: sunofpearl89If GOG is going to start including DRM-ridden crap, then I should just use Steam instead. They support Linux better, anyway.
I think several games need GOG2.0 for multiplayer access to work, which is DRM for Multiplayer.

Quoting: ShmerlOn-line connection for single player game? What for? I don't even get the reason for it, let alone any benefit.
Yeah I hate companies that do this. Remember that new simcity game that did that?! what a load of BS that turned out to be, and this be no different.

This is basically trying to make the game have a expiry date, which will be whenever the company decides they don't want to support the game server side any-more, and we have already seen what happens, think GamesForWindowsLive fallout!
Basically needs players to go crack the game to play... why even pay for it at the point!?

Tarkov also, but that isn't a steam game but can run via proton. Lots of people play that one.

There is also ARMA-3
