Quoting: PendragonGood news! ..
now let's just hope the CCP doesn't decide to invade Taiwan
wouldnt really effect anything given china miltary might compared to Taiwans and the chinese government would have the fabs and factories open again in record time because well 1) they are not concerened with health and safety 2) They dont give a fuck what the world thinks of them and 3) see point 2 i realise its only 1 point but its so big it needs to be stated twice.

But back to graphics cards yeah something needs to happen especially when people are buying the 750 ti for over half its original rrp when it launched in 2012 and people want over 300 pounds for a graphics card that cost 129.99 when it was new in 2014/15 in the 1050ti

Quoting: ZlopezI wonder myself why the companies owning licenses to some games just doesn't let fans to create their own games.

Recently I found out that the Ultima series licence is owned by EA and this is the reason why anything new within series can't be published.

Another case I saw recently was stopping development on really great fan project of 4X game in the universe of Warhammer 40k, because developer didn't bought the license from Games Workshop.

At least we can see which company is more about money than doing great games.
Yes but games workshop legitmately own everything warhammer and they have licenced drek before i guess they are now picky about what comes out also they do deserve payment if you plan to make your game based on their ip which they spent money developing.

Linux Kernel dev bans University of Minnesota for sending malicious patches

Quoting: Whitewolfe80I like the second press statement from the university we will investigate on how this got approved in the first place translation someone getting fired in the morning.
While I and others would love to believe that. Based off the fact that this continued to occur after they were "discovered" nor have any names involved been leaked or revealed by the University. They may be inclined to attempt to bury it, which isn't unheard of regarding Universities and controversy. This honestly violates various laws like,
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act [External Link] yet no charges have been filed. Hopefully there are at least lawsuits.
Intent is hard to prove though i mean if its is everytime they try to submit a patch then theres no room for doubt. Once or twice could be genuine error

Quoting: hardpenguin
Quoting: CatKillerIt's generally quite straightforward: they aren't very good at game development.

The, "oh, but the sales," or, "oh, but the fragmentation," or, "oh, the graphics drivers," are just flimsy excuses because they don't want to admit to themselves that they kinda suck at their job.
No. And saying things like this only proves you have no idea not only about game development but also project management.
Yes but to be fair it also sounds like this company has no idea what project management is either
