Wolfire & Dark Catt's antitrust suit against Steam has been certified as a 'class action', with 'all Steam devs who got paid out since 2017' now part of the eligible group
  • Okay, to reverse the question then - have you ever seen anything that supports there being something contractual to say thar non--Steam copies can't be sold at lower prices? Like, the terms you mention above? I've read the public docs, and can find nothing.

    I can think of multiple times when, e.g. Ubisoft games, Rockstar games, have been sold on EGS or their own launcher for far cheaper than the version on Steam - so we're both supported by anecdata, here.

  • ‘I had no idea being a social drinker would damage my liver by 31’
  • I've had a bad few years since COVID.

    I should probably go get my liver checked, but it's honestly a touch scary to contemplate - and, to be honest, I'm not even entirely sure how I'd get that started. Chat to a GP, I guess.

  • AI PCs flood the market. Their makers hope someone wants them; Despite 49% surge in shipments, buyers seem unconvinced.
  • I think this is referring to machines that come with APUs that have enough tensor (or whatever the equivalent is) cores in order to provide a certain baseline of "AI" operations per second, so Microsoft et al can rely on that for Recall etc without users thinking it slow.

    Amusingly, the first generation of these didn't really have enough, so they're truly unwanted.

  • Scheme to cast votes on stolen mail ballots thwarted by Colorado election officials.
  • How so?

    • machine generators unique values for each vote
    • valid values are logged but not linked
    • when recording a returned vote, it's marked as done (and not counted if dupe or invalid token)

    I mean, there are probably more fraud methods, but that's a good starter for ten.

  • Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42
  • Sorry, I'm confusing a conversation I saw the other day that said we'd have had two GTAs in the same time star citizen had been in development for. Weird comparison.

    Do you think they don't intend to deliver? If so, we fundamentally disagree.

    Mismanagement or bad planning is not a scam.

    Why is this a scam?

  • Star Citizen devs report drying funds, micromanagement, overspending, and episodic release for Squadron 42
  • Are you asking this about any other games? GTA6 doesn't have a release date yet, do you have the same worry?

    ... Genuinely, I do see the difference between the two, but it's weird to me that people are calling it out for things that aren't said. They say enough; if you can't make complaints based on reality, that's a bit lazy.

    Edit: for what it's worth, I'll "move the goalposts" on this one if you come back with some nonsense around how they haven't delivered anything yet. I've played a fair few hours on my ship (probably a few hundred over the last decade), despite not having invested millions of pounds.

    Is anyone else heading to Antwerp this week?

    I'll be there, and I'm really looking forward to the content, the people, and the general excitement!

    Seems too good to be natural, but I enjoyed seeing it
