The new Skate from EA will be coming to Steam

Hm, i might be blind, but i don't see any indication, that the Steam version gets spared from the horrible EA App bullshit?
I mean, it's possible, some games are indeed free of this nonsense, but the vast majority of EA games released on steam still have the EA App, don't they?

AYANEO NEXT LITE no longer ships with SteamOS-like HoloISO Linux - Windows 11 instead

Meh, so it went from at least mildly interesting to completely insignificant...a shame. I'd much rather see them offer Win11 as an option (with the correct cost) and report the percentages ^^

Quoting: BrokattWhat's almost never brought up is that if a user is using Ubuntu LTS, and the official Steam package then they can get support directly from Valve.
I haven't had contact with valves support yet, but in general, i can't recall a SINGLE instance, where the (free) software support of ANY company was worth a dime. So i wouldn't take that as a big plus tbh...

Quoting: KimyrielleI am thinking of a really compelling reason to containerize Steam and can't come up with one...
It's been said before, but do you really feel comfortable with every random game having full access to your whole file system?!

TBF, i really can't think of any reason to NOT containerize things like Game(s/-launchers) or Browsers whereever possible on anything but a pure gaming system. Besides ignorance and/or stupidity of course.

Team Fortress: Source 2 fan project gets a DMCA from Valve

Well, i'm absolutely no fan of the whole DMCA-Bullshit, but at least in this case ("The TF2 assets have been ported to Source 2 without permission") it's at least somewhat understandable.

Another example of the idiocy of the whole DMCA-Bullshit...

NVIDIA reveal Half-Life 2 RTX, plus GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series GPUs

It would have been better to show old assets, new assets without and new assets with raytracing. Although that probably would have shown how little raytracing actually matters ^^

Regarding the cards, i'm surprised NGreedia really lowered the MSRP of the 4080 - although of course all of them are still several hundred bucks too high...

But this reminds me again that i also can't wait for another life sign of destroyed aperture :neutral:
