Didn’t check this, it’s actual ram or a clever use of swap file as branding joke?
Well, you have to go with loss leader for a long time… then progressively bullying your own customers to arise the price until reach parity.
…from then you finally earn by continuing bullying the remaining customers as some sort of whales (people keep paying for shitty service due to constant spending habit).
I don’t see why this would work with the simple concept: pay & get value that come with indie.
You need a big plan to screw your customers and, like Google Stadia, carelessly drop millions in the trashbin just to buy that only lucky ticked that made Netflix win (but you did lose)
Any crime done by a spy in one nation is “a solve” from the side of the other nation.
…instead like, you know, being unemployed just because people are angry; I guess.
Second hand market: “I am a joke to you?”
Depends on the government involved: Roblox tax money factory for US government, which considering a certain island, currently aren’t too keen get in too many details in wealthy predators.
(Each government around the worlds got their own, BTW)
Steam got around 132 milion scrive users monthly: target the “some” of the most wealthy is what “most” AAA publisher, that sells at AAA price are looking for. It’s not about “some” 3080: it’s about starting from there and add all people that paid premium price for their upgrade above that.
Bluetooth controller do exist by quite some time. …also bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
…ad also USB-C hub that recharge/give power, offer HDMI/DP port and usb slots.
I recall Ubuntu Phone back in 2011 was set to use these features to give a complete computing, Ubuntu Linux, experience on smartphone (and TV, as the smartphone connected to TV)
Explain people expecting things to come from future, aka marketing PR.
Well, ARM looks like is hoping to leapfrog over x86 (Intel/AMD) in desktop computing. Once the “RISC” technology (Box86,FEX and alike) head in the PC gaming… we may begin to see options to companies who fed on the PC gaming industry (mostly AMD/Nvidia) and now are turning their back after various things coming along (crypto currency, AI…)
Clever idea would be to give to option to sell it without RAM and SSD (as option, you can still buy the whole package).
They need an open platform to soar, who cares if RAM and SSD comes from second hand market? Steam is a store, they could even lead the second hand market for the (key) accessory components!
Epic can take “some money” by selling third party indie and AAA games… or take “all the money” when people spend in Fortnite. It’s a conflict of interest: Epic don’t want a good store that do the job for other companies, Epic want advertisement for their single product. They give free games with the same logic you get free merchandise to gather people around place that cost money… they don’t give the customer free stuff to make them happy, they don’t give “free money” to publisher/developers because wants them happy (well, aside for the purpose to have happy business).
They want as much as people possible, regardless of their role as customer or publisher, to bring their business in their pocket.
It’s not 0, its “AAA piracy gaming” in China that’s basically 100% Windows.
Linux (kernel) is present in China in all other environment (Android, Supercomputers, servers, IoT… etc) but Windows desktop (office&home) platform.
Please, be aware that in the DENUVO version Leon wear Nekomimi ears and may had caused some FPS trouble with aerodynamics as he runs.

of course, you can still…
hum… well, you can also…
yeah, yeah, you can do that also… but…
…and so going on.
Valve has a price parity policy.
It’s not about the “cut” you’re thinking; it refer to in-app purchases.
Once you bought a game, Valve keep demand a 30% cuts on anything you sell once the customer launch your executable (.exe, binary file/game engine).
hypothetical scenario to help visualize (it won’t go like that most of the time, but useful to understand the concept):
- customer Install and Launch Steam
- customer buy (Valve earn 30% cutshare) and install game on Steam
- customer uninstall Steam, keep installed game
- customer launch game (if is made in a way don’t need Steam dependencies).
- Anything sold while game engine is running must give 30%,of further earning, to Valve.
On Steam you can pick your version of choice among the various update.
If it’s some sort of forced update in which the game is made to not work with previous versions (it require special DRM or online activation by the third party): that’s more another issue (planned obsolescence) that’s being addressed with the Stop Killing Games campaign.
