There's... no details at all other than "it's happening"?

Why even announce this with no details, Knowing it's gonna piss people off? What were sag-aftra and Replica hoping for here?

I mean that might be true, but those key reseller sites are also often grey-market. Sometimes they are legit, but sometimes they resell keys they bought with stolen credit cards etc.

I personally wouldn't buy from a site that I couldn't easily verify is legit (steam, gog, hb, etc)

Multiple indie developers I've seen (wube who makes factorio has been very vocal about it) have complained about losing significant amounts of money from grey/black market keys since they end up being on the hook for fees when people do credit card chargebacks.

Facts, it's a disgrace to the league to make it a blanket ban in order to cuddle the few homophobes

How likely do we think this is to be the interop format that the big name messaging apps use to support that EU regulation to allow cross app messaging?

As a programmer, the biggest problem I have with crypto is that it adds an (I believe) unnecessary pressure on either compute (for proof of work) or storage (for proof of stake) prices for everyone else in the world, for what is seemingly not a huge gain.

Proof of work in particular is awful, because one of the biggest problems that we actually have in the real world is global warming and adding a financial incentive to using more power is exactly the wrong direction we need to be going in. I realize that a lot of crypto is moving away from proof of work, but it's still there.

Inquisition was a downturn from DA2 but it was nowhere near as bad as Andromeda or Anthem. Dragon Age was the property they had that they hadn't messed up yet, so if Dreadwolf is bad then we're down to 0.

That's true for sure, but that doesn't mean that it's valve didn't do an absolute fuckload of work to get proton to be actually functional.

Getting direct3d and vulkan working with actually useful performance was the turning point for Wine being useful for games in addition to just standard applications.

They definitely spent an ass-load of money on that and the fact that Wine was around for 25 years before that just goes to show that no one else was willing to do that.

If you're talking about Chris Pratt and Tom Holland, why would you pick "Uncharted" to use as your contact point for Tom Holland instead of fucking Spider-Man?

E: This is targeted at whoever wrote the title for Eurogamer of course

I don't think you need mono. Net 7 can complete for Linux natively.

No, I don't particularly want to imagine that, thank you.

Windows as an OS has absolutely been showing ads for a long time. Ads for their own stuff for the most part, but those are still ads. They pop stuff up all over the place advocating for paid OneDrive plans or Office 365 or whatever.

Dreamcast was released at a bad time, DVD components were still expensive so if they'd included a DVD drive it would have provided some future-proofing, but the console would have been even more expensive than it already was
