Quoting: HendrinMckayNo, will not touch this with a ten foot pole even though I want to play it. Now that Playstation will no longer being bringing there first person titles to PC I will no longer be purchasing the games they make or publish as a matter of principal.
So the game is out on the pc, it is utterly brilliant (finished it on the ps5) but because future ps5 games might not come to the pc your not buying it. You do understand that if enough people do this they are kind of making the point for Sony because of low sales right? Having massive sales would actually show them the error of their ways.

If you enjoyed the first one then do yourselve (not sony) a favour en enjoy this one :)

Letter from the owner - our stance on generative AI

Nicely put.
If we like it or not, AI is here to stay. Personally I feel it will drop the average intelligence of the human race even more then social media did. Asking an AI to make you a website does not make you understand or actually learn what you are doing and it does not make you smarter.
AI has absolutely no place on a news website like gamingonlinux, news articles need to be written by humans which includes having spelling errors and/or personal feelings.

So again, Nicely put and I take off my hat to you for putting it out there so clearly.

Quoting: fabertaweThe greed of those who already have more wealth than you or I could imagine is insatiable. And it's you and I that will suffer. It's both sad and maddening at the same time.

Here's to the big bang...
It feels this is the build-up to these huge cooperations you see in the sci-fi movies or games that have become so huge, control everything and no governments controls them anymore

Wasn't that the whole point of the dystopian futures depicted in the cyberpunk genre in novels? The huge megacorporations dominating society. I'm thinking of William Gibson (whom I've sadly never read), Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, etc. And then there are all the films too. A lot of these authors had the imagination to foresee what seems to be coming about now.

Wikipedia sums it up nicely: to"Themes typical of a dystopian society include: complete control over the people in a society through the use of propaganda and police state tactics, heavy censorship of information or denial of free thought, worship of an unattainable goal, the complete loss of individuality, and heavy enforcement of conformity."
Yup, this just feels like the build up to it, the big corps are almost free to do as they please under the current US administration, and in case of crossing the line a donation here or there helps. Still think ai will go the way of hyperion as I posted here but those mega cooperations I think that will happen don't fit in there.....
