Another AI project that will probably be dead in a few months. Also open core not open source as many of the features are not available via self-hosted version.
Self-hosted version which source is available and hosted-version which is not public, are not the same. Or at the very least, planned to not be the same by your own admission as you talked publically about planning on adding paid-only features to hosted version.
Take out “AI features” and you are left with nothing, so yeah, AI project… It also relies on proprietary AI models that you don’t own, so it can stop working at any point and that would be out of your control.

It can work, but it adds a mountain of issues that weren’t present on DX11, so it’s a lot more situation.
Can only speculate. 2020 version worked with Proton layer, but 2024 version only supports DX12, so it might be a bust.
On PC, only Windows 10 and 11 are supported operating systems. You may or may not be able to run it on other OSes, but this is unsupported and may not work as intended.

As long as their DRM have a performance penalty it’s not a solution. It’s just a way to punish paying customers and discourage potential customers.
That’s what people complained about in the few recent posts I saw about Epic Games and Steam in this community.
At the very least, Lemmy users care. They continually claim that’s their number one issue with Epic Games as an alternative to Steam.
They’re upset with Epic and their exclusives
facepalm
<…> their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.
Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.
Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.
A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.
Steam is far from perfect, but it’s also far and away the best option we have.
Only option. That’s the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.
This is not new, but it’s well sourced and easily digestible for most people. The issue is that Valve has de facto monopoly and when Epic Games (even selfishly) tried to address that issue gamers went for their throat instead of cheering.
There are small storefronts that exist in the background, but they are either indie only like itch.io
, Game Jolt or run by a publisher with primarily their catalog like GOG, Origin, Uplay (or whatever it’s called now), Battle.net
, etc. And even then many of them eventually become available on Steam because that’s what gamers ask for. People are too stupid to help themselves, so unless some regulations force a change, we are stuck with this.
<…> managed to exit it first time <…>
That is not possible…
I’m not sure if it’s spelled out in the ToS, but there is no way to prevent pull requests on public repos, it’s a functional requirement.
You have to make a fork aka copy and modify to contribute via pull requests. The license is fundamentally broken.
I would agree if it was outside of Japan. But since we are talking about Japanese courts, more precisely Tokyo courts, this has huge likelihood of success.
It’s fun for a while, but for me, it lacks the replayability. I have ~50ish hours in there, but after that I just couldn’t stay engaged. Even tried again after a bigger patch, still couldn’t hook me in.
If he wanted, he could have just open sourced the game, but chose not to.
For those that love the drama.
