Legally, they have to treat them differently, if Steam sells a game like BG3 and some government doesn’t like it, they have a PEGI rating to point to.

But if Steam sells a game like this without a rating from an age rating agency and a government doesn’t like it or requires ages verification for it, that’s on Valve.

People have already been streaming VR from Steam Machine to Quest devices, so something doesn’t add up.

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.

It’s not overpriced if that’s what components and comparable hardware costs now and in the future, it’s just the new normal.

It might be outdated, but it won’t be overpriced. Meta made it clear their next headset will not be subsidised. And Pico are saying their next headset will be a Apple Vision Pro competitor.

Letting predators put themselves in spaces exclusively inhabited by children by tricking the age identification system is the one thing we didn’t want to happen

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

It’s a launcher for other game launchers, but it doesn’t provide downloads for other launchers.

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.

You can accept every company is only out for their bottom line and still prefer the companies that are offering you the best deal. Companies that are actively making games more expensive, locked down and requiring a paid subscription for online play are not offering you the best deal right now.

I mean this is emulation, just in an official capacity.

Also Blu-ray players/drives need regular updates for the encryption keys, it’s why the PS3 gets updates every couple years still. Sony will stop updating them some day.

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.
