I think most people aren’t even aware of the different forms of DRM and whether or not their games use them. For the majority of players, there’s no discernible impact to their experience so they have no reason to question any of it.
Nobody’s teaching these companies any lessons. They keep using Denuvo because it works, and the games keep selling because the number of people actually bothered by it is pretty small.
Steam Deck verification includes things like text being legible and buttons showing up correctly in prompts and mapping, etc. For example, Civilization VI has a Linux native version but is not verified because some game text is too small, and it might require some typing using the virtual keyboard which may not pop up automatically when required.
It was fun but a bit shallow. It had some fun bits and pieces of media like the fake ads, but the game was very easy and pretty short. I finished it in about 12 hours taking my time. There are a few things that I missed, but the game didn’t really inspire me to spend the time and effort to find everything or to replay it. Maybevone day when I’ve forgotten all about it.
I’d say if they expand on the concept and build a little more depth into the game, the sequel could be intetesting.
Unless I’m looking at it wrong, it’s not print in place, it needs to be glued together. It looks like a 2-piece set for either side. To be printed in one piece, it would require non-removable supports.
Is this really what’s considered a “great feature?”
Why do I need everyone to know I’m playing on my Steam Deck? I mean it’s not bad, but it seems more like a footnote than a feature.
They can’t. He put extra hardware in it to make it work. But that doesn’t make for a catchy clickbait title, so they left that part out of it.
Nor did the comment you replied to previously. It was about how Nintendo innovates in other ways.
I don’t think their choice of chips was what they meant. The Wii’s motion controls, and the Switch’s portable/docked modes and removable controllers are.
Does it also have the power-limiting features?
That guy looks like the weekly bad guy on a episode of Starsky and Hutch from the 70’s
You’re not wrong, but that’s also just a persona he plays, the hair and mustache are both fake. I don’t know how close the persona is to the real person, but I’m sure he’s hamming it up to some extent, just not enough to be a good person pretending.
ECC is meant for systems that can’t afford a single faiure, but standard memory is definitely meant to be entirely reliable as long as it doesn’t fail.
I know that sounds like a dumb statement, but when memory fails, it’s never a single occurrence. Anyone who has ever done memory tests on failing memory knows that either it’s 100% functional or complete garbage. If your memory is less than 100% accurate, the results are obvious. You’ll never run a memory test and see only one error at the end.
There are also arcade and Wii versions of Punch Out.
He doesn’t want a dick-shaped rocket, he’s more into yachts, apparently. I understand he owns several large ones.
That’s why they removed it. It’s a subscription service that they pay for when the game is popular, and when everybody moves on, there’s no reason to keep paying.
Regardless of one’s opinion on DRM and piracy, Denuvo is very effective at what it does. They don’t care about losing sales from people with principles, as long as nobody can play without paying.
All the Linux updates, not the game updates. I don’t know if they’re all flatpak, but I have tons of them waiting to update
Yes, and the word going around is that the biggest cracker of Denuvo has been out of the game for a while. So Denuvo games aren’t being cracked at all.
There are many forms of DRM, but as much as Denuvo sucks, it’s probably the most effective nowadays.
Hades II just sneakily dropped into Early Access on Steam.
What was sneaky about it? They had a technical test recently, and announced Early Access would be coming soon as they were shutting down the test period.
Depends what you mean by good. Is it silly pointless fun? Yes it is.
Is it deep, compelling gameplay with a lot of replayability? No.
It plays kind of like Untitled Goose Game in a way. Short themed sections with vague goals.
