2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

An article from this weekend that seemingly got buried by soundbites about the Steam Machine price in the same interview, but given that we have no information on price, this seems way more interesting to me. I mean...I basically self-select games that don't use these kinds of anti-cheat at all, but this is important information for a lot of people, especially if you're looking for an off-ramp from Windows and still want to play some of the most popular live service titles.

I don't imagine the overlap of people interested in the steam machine and people playing games with invasive anti-cheat is very big.

Any idea or hints how Epic will handle this?

Oh. That’s smart. Basically if the TPM validates the integrity, cheats cannot be installed/run on a Steam Machine. Let’s hope devs all over the world integrate this Steam Machine exception.

This just reads like a bunch of nonsense. What are they actually doing?

No ground pin? Is that power port DC?

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It has the power supply internally so its definitely AC. It almost certainly just uses a galvanically isolated supply which is why it doesnt need a ground.

Neat. Thanks.

Can they address the price concerns?

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

They have:

If you're trying to make a PC that has similar features and similar performance, I think the Steam Machine is going to be a really competitive price to that and provide really good value to it
