It’s unclear if MS is even winning considering they’re trying to hike the price 50%, and considering that Xbox sales are flat.

Couldn’t they just restrict these games to be purchased with steam wallet credit only? You can’t buy a porn game on a card, fine. But you can top up your account with €50. Afterwards, the payment processor is out of the equation.


Yes, Steam takes a cut as well. But the crux of the argument is the monopoly part. You can distribute your game outside of steam - on other app stores, or sell it directly to customers if you want. On iOS, there is literally no other distribution channel. You have to pay Apple and use their thing. That’s the difference.


I don’t get it. Used it for what? Why would they need leaked source engine code to make a mod for the source engine with the official SDK?


Gotta put that newfangled AGP port to work!


Well, I’d never heard of this mod until right now, but it’s all over the gaming press. So maybe Valve has just Streisand effect-ed themselves.

Perhaps the logical compromise is to disclaim ownership of the AI-generated assets, releasing them as public domain, while retaining the copyright only on the code he’s written himself, etc


Well… I thought it was relevant and humorous, and the rules don’t say the submissions have to be news. I might be stretching the definition of “discussions” but, figured it was worth a try :-)


They released like a 30 second teaser clip that just showed some random landscape and then the logo. Nothing of substance at all.


You can’t sell endless in-game micro transactions in a single player game. Gotta get to work on League of Fortnight: Apex of Duty


I guess summarizing notifications is mildly useful. Other than that, it seems like they’re just embracing the current zeitgeist (or really, meme). I can’t believe the whole industry has become so head-over-heels enamored with LLMs. What a waste of talent, time and energy for so many people.


176 countries? wtf, why?


Surprising, however they announced existing owners can upgrade for $10, so perhaps the move is to raise the price for new buyers to make it equivalent to buying the full price remaster, while making it cheap to existing owners.


Yup. Piracy is bad so make sure to avoid that. Specifically, do not search for “Yuzu 1734” and combine it with “Firmware 18.1” and “Prod keys 18.1”, because if you did that you would be all set to pirate switch games. So to repeat, definitely don’t search for these things. Now you know what to avoid.


Huh, TIL. Are any of its competitors like the Legion Go or ROG Ally available?


This kind of seems like a non-article to me. LLMs are trained on the corpus of written text that exists out in the world, which are overwhelmingly standard English. American dialects effectively only exist while spoken, be it a regional or city dialect, the black or chicano dialect, etc. So how would LLMs learn them? Seems like not a bias by AI models themselves, rather a reflection of the source material.


What if I told you, you can pay money for spyware
That’s actually a really good idea. I’m not the person you replied to, but I’m taking notes.
