I don’t think he’s being naive, he knows Trump is going to hang him out to dry, and he can’t win without ongoing US support. So if he’s come to the conclusion that defeat is inevitable, or at least that victory is impossible, then it makes sense to start posturing to that effect, to try to get the best outcome possible later at the negotiating table.

Console manufacturers will have to adapt and liberalize self-publishing to stay relevant. AAA gaming continues to enshittify, and indie games / smaller studios are the ones releasing the good titles.

Valve knows this, and the ease for developers to release on Steam means they’re well positioned to ride out the transition. By comparison, releasing on console means signing license agreements, getting access to proprietary SDKs, submitting your game through an approval process, getting each update reviewed, etc etc. The barriers make releasing on console very unappealing for smaller developers.

So IMO if the consoles want to ride out the decline of AAA games, they will need to reinvent their image and how they interact with smaller studios and indies.

Mr Netanyahu, please stop dropping bombs on Gaza, ok? Anyway, here are some more bombs. All the bombs you want in fact, at our expense!

What are they exhibiting? Lawsuits?

Yes you can run windows games fairly easily on Mac and Linux these days but it’s never quite as good as a native build.

There’s CrossOver on Mac which works pretty well for most titles too. Not as good as proton but let’s say 75% there. But you might be right that the success of proton is disincentivizing developers from targeting either. Still disappointing though as a game like this is an ideal candidate for Mac and Linux, compared to some AAA title.

Makes me sad to see it’s Windows only given it’s so graphically simple and low tech. Should be a shoe-in for a Mac and Linux version.

Edit: yes I know proton exists, my point is that as an indie game it is likely built with something like Unity or Godot, and thus exporting a native Mac and Linux build is just a matter of turning on a couple check boxes.

176 countries? wtf, why?

My dude, you’re posting on a social comments platform. If you don’t want other people to comment, then why post here?

Not that I in any way support Israel’s campaign of violence, but I’m not sure these kinds of posts from and questionable news sources are doing anyone any favors. For those of us who already oppose the Israeli campaign, there’s nothing new here. For those who do, these kinds of sensationalist posts just push them farther back into their views.

The best case scenario is to open peoples’ eyes to the harm Israel is doing and convince them to change their opinion, which a more neutral has a better chance of doing.

It does go on sale from time to time. I picked it up on Xbox last year for 60% off if I recall correctly.

Nope, you can buy an external one or something as an accessory but it’s another hundred bucks.

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.

Why do all the Polynesian countries support Israel so strongly?

Yeah, those started working again with the previous patch.

COD 1 & 2 were excellent games. Man, how far they have fallen.

Literally every company’s “corporate culture” right here. Assemble a room full of people who know what they’re doing, then boss man dictates what should be done with his very limited information, all the while not listening to said people who know what they’re doing, because ThE pRoJeCt, or the ScHeDuLe, or the shareholders, or fucking whatever. Truly, American capitalism cannot be perfected upon.

What if I told you, you can pay money for spyware
