Quoting: amatai

Quoting: BumadarDoes this mean there is a sudden drop in simplified Chinese?
And more interesting, what cause the rise of simplified Chinese, like an opening I the great Chinese firewall or ?

It's anyone guess. Mine is that any tricks able to fool the time limitation allowed for video game per day in China is able to fool the steam tracker and so there is a significant proportion of Chinese users that are counted multiple time because of some way to fool the trackers preventing children to play more than 3 hours a week.

That makes sense, I always assumed the time limitation tricks time (so to speak) but yeah might be deeper then that (like pretending a new install or something like that)

Edit, first question answered on the gol steam tracker, it indeed dropped

Smart move, bit like Microsoft giving office almost away for free at schools. Let people use it and who knows it's a new mega game, either way it gets used, people enjoy it, recommend it.

Quoting: M@GOid

Quoting: BumadarI do wonder how the intel dedicated gfx card development is going, will they continue there efforts and have a follow up for their current generation or is it going to die silently, I not heard much about it, anybody knows ?

My guess is that they slowed down releases of new hardware until their drivers can catch up. The brand is already damaged enough that launching new models will result in more cash loss.

I also don't think they will give up, since they are seeing Nvidia profits in the GPU market and sure they want a slice of that pie. But they also have to start from somewhere, even if the start is problematic as it is right now. They received a lot of goodwill from the community as a alternative from the current duopoly, so that is also encouraging.

Could be indeed, but this week's nvidia numbers show its all AI that makes them the most, but let's hope you are right.

Fired (well okay they call it retired) by the same board of directors who hired him in the first place to do what he did (they knew and gave their okay for something as big as that price change), so I don't expect whomever they hire next will be much better or less greedy, in a perfect world that board would fire themselves too, but sadly we live in this world ;)

I read his post, wish there would be some real life examples. 5000% sounds amazing but what is the impact on game X :)

Still nice work fixing that

Really great for godot, and i hope it will get better and better.

As for Unity, the 2022 gaming report states unity has 230.000 active developers doing 750.000 games.
Let's say 5% of those have been (publicly) angry about this whole debacle, that would be 11.500 (way to high a number but let's be positive), let's say 1% of those are really going to quit with unity, that would be 1150 (again way to high but hey), that still leaves 228.850

Unity is not going anywhere, how frustrating it might be, it is so big (as is epic) it can simply get away with this stuff.

Of course it will give some extra momentum to the godot's of this world, but that will be about it, I think epic is probably the one laughing quietly in a corner for the 1% that is comming their way.

I am glad valve choose to work with codeweavers, they did and still do a lot for wine but are often forgotten and feels crossover is mentioned to little :)
