Quoting: kuhpunktWhat extra 30%?!Read article top to bottom. They loose some money because obviously they can't charge too much more, so generally devs take a slight hit in the profits in order to be competitive with other games of similar type.

I kind of get why Tarkov devs are selling on their own website atm, at least while in development. They need that extra %30 and if it was on steam the game would cost a fair bit more which isn't fair to the player base.
Sony Interactive Entertainment announced a minority investment in Discord

Well these seem pretty normal to me. But some are pretty broad rules and will vary greatly depending on which country you look at them from.
For example what is considered extremism is in the eye of the beholder isn't it? For example CCP considers uighurs to be extremists. Allot of people consider Trump supporters to be violent extremists... but that is just one example.
Broad stroke rules.

I use Discord Canary and some plugin that's still allowed.
Discord is unfortunately getting more and more ruley¿ as time goes on, in that they keep having these SJW social media policies that sees servers putting restrictions on what can be said and what not, all sorts of crazy rules.
They shouldn't SAFEZONE their platform, just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth iyam...(except for actual criminal activity)

Wolfire Games filed a lawsuit against Valve over abuse of their market position

I find it hilarious people are comparing digital copies of games to physical goods in the retail markets like its Apples to Apples comparison. Its just not, too many people clueless about software development and cost/time associated.
NVIDIA driver 465.27 is out now for Linux

Quoting: SchattenspiegelPretty sure one of these months it will hit the PPA...When it came to NVIDIA and Ubuntu I always just downloaded latest driver off their website and installed that instead of waiting on some repo update.
:whistle:

Yeah %30 is pretty high for a DIGITAL GOODs based store. Who knows if Valve will change this policy. It does hurt indie devs the most who can't achieve high sales numbers to get discounted 'valve tax rate'. And those restrictions suck...
The real issue is Valve/Steams market share putting them in a position of great power. If only more people used GOG.
I would support Epic a little more if they released a Linux EGS client and had a Linux supported platform, but they don't. Also being tied to Tencent is no doubt going to become a problem down the line.

Quoting: RoosterGOG dont heve linux build of their own Galaxy!GOG support Linux packaging system, and categories. Its only their Galaxy Client that's not supported yet, but open-source has helped that along a little bit.
Metro Exodus and Hellpoint in May's Humble Choice, along with a new subscriber discount

I may get the Humble Bundle when it becomes available, I have a 6800xt here and play at 4k, but I hear its still crashy on AMD. But some people manage to get it working I guess. (crashes happening due to memory leak or something).
I'm not expecting RayTracing to be viable on 6800xt nor 7800xt when that comes out.

Quoting: RoosterSo I shouldn't even consider buying this with 1080. Gotcha.From what I'm reading the Metro game has issues with AMD RADV atm. This is not surprising since its a NVIDIA first game. One of the reasons I never bothered to buy it.
