  • EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko

    Jump

  • Add Mass Effect, Dead Space and Star Wars Jedi series..

    But yeah I wish all of these were DRM free, without any online connection and on GOG.

  • Kwin workspace rules not working and Evolution not remembering passwords in KDE

    Jump

  • What are the permissions you think I should change? In Fedora (Gnome) the same Flatpaks don’t show these issues with the default permissions.

  • Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.

    Jump

  • While I understand the pain of someone having no hardware right now, I think you should still be able to get an old gaming PC or an old Playstation 4 to enjoy games for cheap.

    In fact, almost everyone has something like this lying around..

    While it means running old AAA or lower demanding current games, it’s still great gaming time.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • You haven’t read my comment I guess.

    I have a lot of games that I bought (mostly for max CHF 20.-, so max 25$), but they are only playing free live service games.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • I have kids and I have a huge library of games on Playstation and PC. What are they playing?

    Fortnite and Roblox instead, which they could play for free if they didn’t want to get cool skins. So, no, games aren’t as expensive for kids as they used to be, except if they waste a lot of money in predatory schemes in games where they could play for free and just 1-2 things to support the devs.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • The price of new games isn’t a problem for me as they are still cheaper than what they were when I was a kid. In my country Switzerland, an expensive new game is stll less than CHF100.- when some Nes games were CHF120.- thirty years ago. Back in the Playstation 1 era games were around CHF89.- and now most Playstation 5 games are around CHF79.-.

    And that’s not taking inflation into account!

    Gaming is one of the few things which has become cheaper in my lifetime, especially now that I get a lot of old games on my Steam Deck and only racing sims on my Playstation 5.

    For me the problem is that you can pay such an amount and still be subject to many popups begging for your money (microtransactions) or DRM’s (always online or others).

    Or that, thanks to digital games, you’ll soon not be able to resell an expensive game that you didn’t enjoy enough to keep.

    And also the fact that games aren’t really prettier than 10 years ago but that you still need better hardware to play them.

    I think game companies really need to have a look at why their games are becoming so expensive, because I don’t think it’s because they are treating their employees better.

  • Steam added the option to attach hardware specs when writing or updating a Steam User Review

    Jump

  • That’s great and depending on how it’s made, maybe Proton DB isn’t gonna be necessary for Linux gamers anymore.

    Although, I wouldn’t want Steam to become even more powerful this way compared to something like GOG.

  • Splinter Cell series - Chaos Theory, Conviction, and Blacklist

    Jump

  • That was an interesting read, thanks!

  • Splinter Cell series - Chaos Theory, Conviction, and Blacklist

    Jump

  • Oh, thanks for the deep analyse.

    I guess I might play these games one day then🤞

  • Splinter Cell series - Chaos Theory, Conviction, and Blacklist

    Jump

  • I played all of them until Double Agent.

    I remember really enjoying the part where you were doing spy missions in your QG in double agent and the way you had an objective with your organisation and another one with your agency.

    I don’t know why I never played the following ones, but now I don’t think I could enjoy certain political aspects of the story where the americans (the government, not the people) are the good guys..

  • All Steam Deck models out of stock in U.S., with fears that memory shortage will prompt price increase

    Jump

  • Yes but most of the Steam Deck owners are probably not into games with really high requirements.

    And, for those who are, it’s great to be able to play demanding games with cheap (for now) hardware.

  • All Steam Deck models out of stock in U.S., with fears that memory shortage will prompt price increase

    Jump

  • Probably, but I guess we should boycott these and choose a model with our wallets.

    Jump

  • The only good side is that devs will have to optimize and do more with less or focus less on graphics.

  • What's your current situation with Google?

    Jump

  • Yeah. It was easy for me to ditch Google for search, emails and pictures, but there isn’t enough content other than Linux related on Peertube for me.

    As soon as I can find some good basketball, videogames and cars channel, I’ll start supporting them and ditch YouTube.

  • Beginning with Linux

    Jump

  • Clearly everyone is different as switching is what forced me to fully go into Linux and don't look back. It's the same with using Virtual Machines, I can't fully immerse myself as not everything is configured the way it would if it was on bare metal (gestures for instances..).

    I think my advice would be to fully switch if dual booting (two OS's, or even more, on the same computer) isn't an option or if you don't have a second computer which can give you a solid experience (not talking about an early 2000 laptop which is gonna make you think that Linux is slow).

    Also, about your Mac, I run a 2012 upgraded MacBook Pro as a secondary comptuer and it runs Fedora perfectly. Once every 1-2 year, there is a small problem with the broadcom wifi chip, but otherwise I haven't encountered any issue.

    In fact, I have less issues with it than on my main computer (a Surface Go 1 hooked to a big screen), but its smaller size is more practical to me.

  • FF7 on Steam Is Being Replaced (And Your Saves Won’t Carry Over)

    Jump

  • I’m hoping the game will be released on GOG as I wouldn’t buy a game I’ve already owned on console on Steam since it wouldn’t be DRM free.

  • FF7 on Steam Is Being Replaced (And Your Saves Won’t Carry Over)

    Jump

  • I guess the old one might feel really old if it’s your first Final Fantasy.

    Even the remakes feel a bit dated in a way (not graphically).

  • FF7 on Steam Is Being Replaced (And Your Saves Won’t Carry Over)

    Jump

  • As long you can still play the old version with your old save, I don’t see the problem.

    Although I wonder what the new version introduces..

    I might replay FFVII at one point after getting the third episode of the remake. It’d be a nice way to spot the differences in the story..

  • AMD say the Steam Machine is "on track" for an early 2026 release

    Jump

  • I guess you’re right and you could also say that I didn’t really own these games since I can’t play them anymore because I don’t have PSPlus anymore.
