What could that even mean?

If they can pull it off, nice.

It's what plenty of folks have been saying a long time. With Proton they can establish Linux as a proper gaming platform. Native solutions would eventually follow.

Totally makes sense for Sony from a business perspective - not gonna buy a Playstation, though.

Obviously not a fan of kernel level stuff (and who knows how their implementation will work), but it's great for Linux adoption. I mean how often did we hear "Yeah, but can it play Multiplayer XYZ like on console?"

One argument less against Linux and something like the Steam Machine. Will be interesting to see how this is developing.

Adding Enigma DRM when the game is already DRM-free on gog is really incredibly dumb from Capcom. What are they trying to protect/prevent? The business suits over there really have no idea what they are doing.

Will definitely buy/play DS2, but not for 80€.

Quoting: eldarion

Quoting: kuhpunktWhat I don't understand... if they are so hard into pushing AI at any cost, why aren't they just telling their AI to use one of the pre-existing engines like Godot or Unity or Unreal or whatever... and let the AI design levels and missions or whatever.

This crap that they are doing here is just mental. You're just playing a video stream, not a static product. Nothing "exists" here. It's just so dumb.

Because it can't do that. This so called ai can't produce nothing new, it can only copy other people's work.

But even copying would make more sense if this AI actually coded something, create a map layout based on other stuff it's stealing or whatever. But that's not what they are doing.

Quoting: QuadrantThreeA sizable portion of it is probably from Unreal Engine. UE5 is currently the industry standard game engine, being used by both indie and AAA. Unfortunately, UE5 being the popular engine also means more money goes to Tim Sweeney.

It's just the third party purchases from the store - licensing fees for the engine would be extra.

Quoting: ArehandoroIf we're too late to say "Happy New year" to friends we see for the first time in 2026, we are too late to say "Early 2026" for this as well. Or maybe May counts as early as it's in the first half of the year? Do they mean early financial year?

P.S: I'd like the devices out now, please.

In some interviews during the first hands on reports Valve said it would launch in Q1. Does that mean it will still happen that early? Not really. But that was their target.

I'd be curious how much of those $400 million even ended up in Epic's pockets.

Technically they take 12% - so 48 million would be the maximum. But they don't charge for the first million at all. And then they have that reward system as well where you get money back for your next purchase. Wasn't that like 20%?

How much money have they lost running the store this year?
