I guess pcgamer sneak the clickbait title in the metà data so they can have clickbait whenever their article are shared, but don’t take full responsibility on their own very pages

Valve is “de facto” monopoly, bit the actual monopoly potential is in Microsoft hands. Microsoft is for PC gaming industry what Google is for the web browser one. Sure, there may be other cool web browsers, but it’s Google that (through Android base) decide whic web browser will be delivered with the next billions of Android mobile device: some elderly people on smartphone don’t even know what is a web browser (“oh, you mean when I Google? I don’t know: I just Google”).

All future new PC will be sold with Microsoft Store and Xbox junk ware: Microsoft has been exceptionally shitty for not being the actual monopoly in the PC gaming industry. But that’s a very feeble protection: break Valve business is just a mandatory “security update” away to happen. They can break Steam little by little (such as suggested by Tim Sweeney) or just a big blow by sheer monopolized manipulation (such as Google not allowing adblockers to chrome to feed their advertising business)

They fire the developer who says “2+2=4” and hire the one who says “2+2=5”… then the hired developer is absolutely free to say his/her “5” anytime they want until EA doesn’t roll a new formula. (they is fire&hire again)

The problem is that also… Apex Legends was fully linux/steam deck supported. When developers are insecure about their ability to provide protection against cheater… Linux is usually the first target so they can “show” they are resolute (in truth, insecure indeed) about anti-cheating.

Kernel level anticheat, is the foundation of insecurity by developers. An example of “non-insecure” developer is Valve: all their efforts against cheater are nearly kernellevel-less.

I would add [satirical fake news] to the title, just to be sure

Last week argument in the PR team: “do we middle finger to our possible paying customers or not?”

It was an heated discussion.

Any device that come with SteamOS by default, is a device that doesn’t come with both Windows and Xbox game store by default. Basically Valve isn’t paying for the OS, it’s paying for devices that run Steam Store by default (instead direct, unfair, competition from Microsoft)

Can Windows PC come by default with Steam Store? Of course… if Microsoft allow them to.

mini PC things.

…or PC things, but mini.

“It’s a security hole that endangers democracy itself.” NieR creator speaks out against payment processors pressuring Japanese adult content platforms

NieR creator Yoko Taro comments on the series of instances of Japanese adult platforms being pressured by credit card payment processors.

Copy of the claims

clams: False “No Funding” Declaration

evidences:

Multiple media interviews identifying Scott as handling “the standard day-to-day work of running the Stop Killing Games initiative”

Scott described as the primary strategic decision-maker and public spokesperson throughout the campaignConservative Professional Value Assessment:•Intensive Periods: “Many weeks” of 12-14 hours/day during critical campaign phases

Conservative Estimate: 15-20 weeks at high intensity (12-14 hours/day) = 1,260-1,960 hours

Regular Campaign Work: Additional ongoing daily campaign management throughout 12+ month period

Professional Rate: €50-75/hour for campaign management/advocacy services (market rate)•Minimum Estimated Value: €63,000-147,000 in professional contribution

**Additional Considerations: **

This represents only documented intensive periods, not total campaign involvement

Scott has managed strategic decisions, media relations, and operational leadership throughout

Even conservative calculations show contribution exceeding €500 threshold by 125-295 times

It’s not like Devs can afford to say “Hey, you! No, not you, the other one… hire me now!”

What’s the difference between ARM and x86 other than proprietary?

Both ARM and x86 are proprietary, innovation is made differently tho.

Arm holding set new standard for the broader concept of innovation, trying to gather as many companies possible to further innovate in their own way and as many companies possible.

X86 is mostly ruled by Intel and the way Intel manufacture things; AMD is thrown in the mix both both need to be cautions around their business: it’s in their hope no third party interfere with what and how X86 are manufactured.

RiscV is the ultimate goal: a platform not owned by anyone, which anyone is free to innovate for their propose (like Linux’s kernel which power big Super Computers mainframes, desktop pc or table clock: there’s a root capability, then everything extend from there by its purpose.).

How is steam an ARM store? (Genuine question not a disagreement)

It’s not an ARM store in the sense they sell ARM hardware; but the store itself (also) runs on ARM CPU: to have a piece of software (such as Steam, as the steam client you download and install) run on different platform, you need some work to be done: CDProjekt did the job for CyberPunk 2077 (for the Nintendo Switch 2) as Valve did the job for Steam (for the MACs)

What specific brands/companies/developers do you see becoming relevant in this context within the next year?

Intel could come in to play, the reason they are not “seriously” in the RISC business is because the conflict of interest with “their” X86.

Both Nvidia and AMD are already in both ARM and RiscV business.

Any company in the smartphone business can join in: they just need ARM binaries (CPU) and full Vulkan support (GPU)

Will this translate to more budget friendly pc-gaming options?

You can buy a ARM Raspberry Pi Zero 2 (and alike) for about ~15$, add this a MicroSD, a K/M and a screen to attach to hdmi, and you have a fully fledged Linux PC with basic office capabilities.

I am a former pc-gamer. Built my last PC in 2009. Even then it was a budget build (AMD gfx).

A Raspberry Pi 4 B 2GB would cost about ~40€ (there are cheaper chinese variant) would match a 2009 Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB ram and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330. You can power it with a powerbank.

They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.

You’re wrong, your presumption assume one single person to download a single file he/she never ear about.

What’s most likely, people download ROMs for nostalgia, ie: something they, or their parents, bought them when they were children. So, if we assume someone download their “childhood library” which was already paid, of about ~30 cartridge (admitted the download is the right one, and didn’t required multiple download attempt); in the view of the FBI, that single person “stole” 3180 USD he/she paid ~20 years ago.

You’re not just supposed to lose the things you bought, you’re supposed to be fined (for attempt to play the product you already paid) with price updated to current industry standard.

Steam Deck 1 (also called “Steam Deck One” or “The First Steam Deck”) uses Ryzen 2. Not gonna say anything else.

xcancel (fromerly twitter) statement announced here by SKG

Thanks for the thumbnail link, I’ve added it

Looks more like a DSSL testing (which had dedicated cores/hardware) rather the actual potential. Also, one single title, wake me when there’s a test to match everything SteamDeck can emulate (Switch 1 too)

If is designed to work on Linux (Linux drivers), that’s all you need to distro-hop the device until the end of time

First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy.

If you discuss with an idiot, he can drag into his idiocy; there’s no need to defend Ross Scott, the issue is completely different level.

His (the person you reply to) whole argument is more on the line “they lose, so it mean they must be wrong” (or doing something wrong.

Picture the global politics today: human rights are failing all over and someone say “human rights advocate are losers, and I am cool by saying this”.

There’s dissonance between what people think they say, and what they actually say. @ImplyingImplications thinks he’s cool because denounce the losers while in fact he’s just saying “I don’t deserve these rights” <- he’s the only true loser because his enemies didn’t need to start the fight from the beginning (at the last with himself).
