Quoting: TheSHEEEPEpic just has the better deals for developers.

My hope is that Valve will wake up from its slumber and starts giving developers better deals as well. A cut lower than the absurd 30% would be a very good start.

Concerning the game at hand, it does suck for Feral I imagine, but I was never interested in the "Saga" series to begin with. Too limited in scope.

And how low should they go?

Quoting: kuhpunktRelease it on several stores then. It's not like it's complicated.

Last I heard it's very complicated. Each store has its own toolset for uploads, its own publishing requirements, its own system for how updates and patches are handled. An indie dev once compared the experience between GOG, itch.io (the easiest) and Steam (the most complicated), but that was before EGS existed and I can't find the article now. But the conclusion was "think carefully before adding another store", so it seems it isn't something you just do on a whim.

That's ridiculous. It's fucking SEGA. Even if the toolsets are a bit complicated... that's no reason to go to just one store. They got a ton of cash. That's it.

"As mentioned, and like others in the industry, a key reason for exploring other digital stores is that we don’t want to be limited just to Steam."

Quoting: VundultDoes anyone know if this will work with non-steam games added to your library?

Definitely not. You can do it with Remote Play, though.

Quoting: lesssterWhat's the point of Cloud Gaming if you still need a specific OS (Windows) to be able to use it?

Hmm?

Quoting: PatolaI wonder if we will eventually be able to get VR through streaming, since Valve is so invested on it now?

For VR to be bearable for the average person they need a high framerate (I forget what the minimum comfortable level was), but trying to stream, say, 144FPS with current infrastructure is hard to achieve. It's an interesting technical challenge that may require creating of a new data transfer protocol, various new types of hardware,...

The FPS aren't the problem, but the input delay, If the image is processed at a server far away it needs to reach your home without any delay. If you add just 10ms to what's already there, it might cause problems.

Highly doubt it. Streaming, as good as it might be, doesn't fit all genres. That's why Gabe spoke out against streaming many years ago. RTS games or whatever can be played just fine if there's a slight delay. In VR it destroys everything.

Quoting: PatolaI skipped the first one for being a roguelike, but I am sad that this new installment won't have VR nor space legs, so although it really seems gorgeous, I will probably skip it too.

They didn't say it won't have VR. Maybe at some point.

They said it takes too much work and it probably won't have [External Link]. Which considering they are being diplomatic, it's a pretty sure way to say it definitely won't.

Why talk in absolutes when there's no reason to?
