Firefox already has a website permission system, weird they don’t just let users choose if they think the risk is worth it or not.

Those older Nvidia cards haven’t got updates on Linux in many years, so their performance will always be worse on Linux than Windows and any driver issues aren’t going to be fixed.

It’s just another reason why proprietary drivers suck.

The funny thing is even he predicted more than $1100, less than $1500.

So that’s multiple straight lies in the article title.

GPUs use VRAM

Most publishers now go for their monthly licensing model for Denuvo.

But I think Sega must have some kind of perpetual contract as an early Denuvo adopter they don’t offer anymore, because otherwise they’d be losing money on the monthly payments for their older games.

As for Ubisoft, they just love DRM. They’ve had games stacking 5 different types of DRM before despite the obvious redundancy.

Here is Valve’s answer to The Verge, as of 5PM ET: “We just confirmed with iFixit that they plan to have batteries back in stock by next week.”

“iFixit will be getting the same OEM parts sourced through Valve’s partners that they always have,” spokesperson Kaci Aitchison Boyle tells me.

There’s no need for spin when the whole thing was just a miscommunication that got overblown.

Sounds like they should apologize for the obvious use of Nazi symbols and state they fired the intern responsible, not apologize for an “unfortunate visual association”.

Well there’s the Nazi emails and gen AI sale art if you want something more recent.

There’s this revolutionary new technology I guess the start menu gamers haven’t caught onto yet known as “cloud saves” which make it a lot easier to continue playing games on different devices and through uninstalls.

The Nazi rune company hangs out at the Nazi bar? I’m shocked.

GOG pride themselves on being a “curated” store that rejects a lot of indie games, and Indies are what’s driving Steam’s growth right now.

Because the third party client based on reverse-engineering and undocumented APIs could break at any time.

Yet they barely support playing on an OS you actually own and only really support the proprietary DRM-filled Windows

Even EA have realised at this point that nobody wants their launcher and it damages sales, and stopped putting it in their new games (except Sports titles for some reason)

Ubisoft will keep making bad decisions until it bankrupts them.

Problem for Microsoft is Epic’ll realize they have Microsoft by the balls and can start upping the Unreal Engine cut.

The kind of person interested in buying a prebuild doesn’t want to replace hardware or reinstall an OS.

Tencent already has an alternative in China known as WeGame, it only has government approved games so if any Chinese gamer wants the majority of games they’re going to use Steam.

When the competition (excluding any stores operating at a loss to build marketshare) is charging both developers and gamers more, they’re less bothered about Steam taking 20-30%. Consoles charge 30%, have extra fees, take a cut of third party keys (or restrict them altogether) and require a mandatory subscription for online play/cloud saves, while disallowing third party stores on their hardware.

Thank god for Australia, can always rely on them to one-up our stupid vague UK laws.

The worst part is it’s probably started with good intentions, but then they base serious allegations on “media reports point to” and start using it as an excuse for more surveillance and ID verification.
