wipe and install any flavor Linux.

There I fixed the entire article for this guy.

Yeah, and also, as a older metal head, bands like Babymetal, Hanabie, Mellows, rock hard but also remind me that yeah, metal can be fun and silly.

Can I interest you in some J-Metalcore?

Maybe some Canton Rap?

Might I also interest you in the French Clair Obsur soundtrack that has no right to be as good as it is.

Epic can finally add all the features they want but until they stop the BS of PC exclusivity deals, I’ll continue to never buy from them and will stick to Steam, GoG, and Itch.

Lack of competition? WTF are you even talking about?

You’ve got Epic, GoG, itch.io, and not to mention publisher specific storefronts like origin, ubisoft’s whatever the hell launcher for PC.

That’s plenty of competition, it’s just that they suck at actual competition or are comfortable in their niche market.

Instant claim link is there of you’re already logged in with your browser.

If you’re getting unauthorized it means you’re not currently logged into your account.

And then he woke up, sorry unasleeped, and found his sheets were sticky.

If your talking about gamers, let’s be real here. They’ll lap up whatever scraps and bullshit Nvidia will give them and then thank Nvidia for gouging them.

I mean look at the recent stream surveys.

Tim, something, something about preventing games from being released on other storefronts…

I guess you’re living up to your user name.

But of course when corporations infringe on copyright it’s fine right it’s not theft at all.

The hate comes from the fact that these companies don’t want you to own a gaming computer or any computer anymore. These tech companies want you to rent forever and never own anything because owning doesn’t make them all the money.

Combine that with the AI driven memory shortage and NVIDIA moving away from making gaming video cards and cutting their MSPR program it’s clear that they don’t want you to own anything going forward and just be only steaming on their servers and not just having it be an option.

You’ll think that right up until you’re the guy that started sliding into on coming traffic while screaming internally, “I wasn’t going that fast!”.

So I have extended family that are MAGA and you know what I hear from those few who have some regret for voting Trump?

The same damn things that the were saying before about everything just without saying “Praise Trump” in front of it.

They have not changed, they’re just looking to whitewash their guilt while not addressing the core rot in their souls.

Okay. So how is Steam causing Nintendo to release their games at 80 dollars or rockstar threatening to sell the next GTA at 100 dollars due to Steam’s undue market dominance?

Also game developers have the option of using other platforms like epic, humble, itch, or using mostly DRM free GoG, my personal favorite.

As for the whole Steam preventing developers from selling elsewhere, I’d actually be interested in seeing their proof on this because developers have their games multiple storefronts at launch all the time. And kind of hypocritical to not sue Epic to for their exclusivity deals they make with publishers, literally preventing them from selling on another storefront.

Seems like a bullshit grifting lawsuit to me but hell I’m open to seeing what their actual evidence is.

Honestly AMD only has mid-range this time around but the 9070 XT trades blows with the 5070 TI and the ray tracing, if you’re into that, is much better but not quite as good as Nvidia.

So another thing to consider is with Windows 11 being an AI dumpster fire that patches will brick your system, if you go with a Linux build, AMD or Intel would provide a lot better driver support than Nvidia.

Whelp if I didn’t need another reason to ever buy Nvidia again.

Yup. That really cements further that I will not buy Nvidia again.

Honestly, I moved from Windows 10 over to Bazzite and I’ve been enjoying the gaming experience so much more, despite some of little short comings, than Windows since 7.

I mean given the past couple of card launches, especially with this generation, how much would actually be affected.

Here’s the thing, he and the other modders that are doing this are very much so running a fine line here. They’re modifying the game’s code, sure it’s in memory, but it’s their code they’re modifying to get things to work. It’s not just relying on using existing API calls that are open for them to use. Just because they’re not modifying the files on disk vs modifying in-memory doesn’t mean they’re not using their IP, they certainly are and there’s precedent that this type of action falls under the DMCA.

Take in point that Riot and Bungie and many other companies have DMCA’ed and sued cheat makers and hey those guys were also just selling mods for their games. They also weren’t selling any files from their copyrighted games either they were just selling a framework to inject their software into their games. So question is are you also saying that Riot and Bungie are also DMCA sue-happy people who are Debbie downers that are preventing coders from making money?

Your simplistic, it’s just a phone case, isn’t analogous here.

Don’t get me wrong, IP law is tricky and IANAL but again, when a company politely asks you to respect their ToS and not sell a mod using their IP and you throw a tantrum and manage to piss off your community, well good luck buddy.
