You get the lemmy crosspost link, and thus Lemmy discussions, from modern source; instead the combines history of all Lemmy posts from years ago.

*Microsot’s videogame business may had been up because they bought videogame business such as ZeniMax/Bethesda/IDSoftware, Activision/Blizzard and Mojang/Minecraft.

Crazy the first time I saw this thing was a random game (featured) on Itch.io

addendum: Denuvo is sick of “toxicity,” says people only hate it because it works

I see this game mentioned repeatedly over the meme-brink, but it’s that relevant in the PC scope? Because I am beginning to think only people who had already played on PS4 care about it: it looks like the “I use Arch, btw” meme (a random guy repeated that make clear they use a product/thing… which nobody ask them about).

Bloodborne sold ~7million copies in the span of ~7 years ( ref ), for comparison a game like Sekiro (while not forgotten, you don’t see random people jumping out and say “I played/want Sekiro btw”) sold 10 million in ~4 years ( ref )

‘Epic is not pressing their advantage’

" … not giving enough bribe money for BL4 after Tim Sweeny’s waste of money on BL3"

…I guess giving away free money is still a bummer when you don’t see them back.

Microsoft business was never meant to convince: it’s either forcing their way in by bully OEMs in doing what they want, and make sure Linux isn’t an option, like in the ACPI case, or buy successful companies that elude their direct control (or simply buy companies that already won the battle they are fighting, like their desperate attempt to make a success “Microsoft Game Studio” and instead resort to buy Bethesda, Activision etc.)

Someone posted this !deadlock@sopuli.xyz in the comments here.

If you ever played Pen&Paper Battleship as child, you already know what a Vector2 is (Vector2i more precisely), it just didn’t click yet.

…as you can see, if you buy from dev’s website you get to buy the advertised Linux’s version. A Dev that publish exclusively on Epic store is de facto forced to trash away any additional Linux support they may have put into.

Basically, if a Dev support Linux, the time they go exclusively on Epic became essentially windows-only.

Bypass Epic completely, buy the drm-free .zip files from the website.

You can buy from website and Tim Sweeny don’t get a single ¢. If giving money to Valve is your other issue, you can also try ask for Gaben’s bank account and put there an additional fee as cutshare for your purchase.

You get to see companies taking the hit only when they shut down. Before than that, you get only to see human people lose their livelihood

Gotta lift a different issue here.

There are other Olympics event that can be directly traced as product placement?

Because, let’s assume that the esport picked is Fortnite… wouldn’t be the whole event a big ads for Epic (I am sure they would also put big money to lobby hard in this)?

Olympics are expected to promote products with ads, billboards and whatever… but the event itself?

Is still Bethesda, you’ve gone too far.

yeah but it didn’t try to lock him into a subscription plan or software ecosystem

Not AI fault, the first one (killed) was a remotely controlled by the product of a big corp (Skynet), the other one was a local, offline one.

Moral of the story: there’s difference between the AI that runs locally on your GPU and the one that runs on Elon’s remote servers… and that difference may be life or death.

Didn’t John Connor befriend the second IA he find?

All your unattended date will be taken (and some of the attended one). This doesn’t mean you should stop to attend your data. Even of you’re somehow forced to use Windows instead open alternative, it doesn’t mean you can’t dual boot or use other privacy conscious devices when dealing with your sensitive data.
