In 2007, PRS for Music took a Scottish car servicing company to court because the employees were allegedly "listening to the radio at work, allowing the music to be 'heard by colleagues and customers'".

From the Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRS_for_Music#Legal_cases [External Link]

It happened in other countries, too. My hairdresser has a plaque informing that the music is only for employees and the customers ought to abstain from listening to it. That's where it's headed...

Smart 😅
In France you pay SASEM for any public diffusion and they pay the rights owners. But you have to have a public diffusion and it's clearly defined by the law.

Quoting: syylkBut... That music, licensed by the game devs, is not played on Steam. It's only played in the game(s) - where it's already handsomely licensed!

Valve is not letting users listen to the music besides what's already licensed within the videogame, and the users are exposed to the IP only after purchasing the game - and its musical license(s) - and paying the due to the authors, directly or indirectly.

How that claim could have merit?

You can listen to the trailers I guess.. 😑

I wonder if it's related to internation politics. After all U.S.A and China are entangled in a diplomatic arm wrestling match.

I love their Steam Deck "Optimization"...
The game has so many unnecessary details (and is using an old UE4) that they don't even try to make real optimizations. Just keep the same profiles, use the lowest.
I would love to know how they detect deck. In Steam plugin, you only get the big picture. I could make real optimizations for my game on deck.

No, honestly, you need 32 at least and 64 to develop an Open World. You need to be able to load all the assets.

It's really interesting for us, small indies, who are not sure we will be able to provide native Win / Linux builds but would like to support Proton. It will be written. Right now, people only see "windows" even if we can guarantee 100% compatibility. (I'm not sure yet about a native build. Lots of issues, mostly time...)

Let's hope it works fine with Linux >5.4 and is more stable than two last Windows "stable" ones... (ask an Unreal Engine user if you wonder why lol)
