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?

Quoting: NoahTheDukewhat's the point of delisting the games? stop support issues? do they have to pay steam to keep them up? (this is the reason a lot of games are removed from the ios app store.) or is there a legal reason to remove them?

Highly doubt that they have to pay Steam anything. That's what the 30% cut is for - eternal hosting.

But your question is totally valid... why delist the games when you can continue selling them?

Quoting: zany130Anyone get a strange new option under external gamepad settings after updating?

I wonder what it's for. Maybe new steam controller?

It's called "Pair an Ibex Controller over USB"

And clicking pair gives an error saying no steam controller is plugged in

!new steam controller pairing? [External Link]

Ibex is the new Steam Controller. Has been reported months ago.

It's already Out of Stock over here in Germany, so no chance to even get it anymore.

What does that even mean.

I even just recently had a press release enter the GamingOnLinux mailbox that proudly mentioned the game was "100% AI", which went quickly into the bin.

lmao
