The system needs that. Its system requirements, not game requirements.
You are just making stuff up, how much the game actually uses is completely irrelevant. If you want to have a thousand apps open, of course you need more ram. This needs to be explained?
It requires the system to have minimum 16gb. They account for system overheads.
How is this even a question lol.
Does it also tell you how much processor % it uses? Because that’s what you’re saying with ram. That’s not how any of this works.
And I’m explaining why they won’t ever use 12gb as a specification. Because they are designed and optimized with dual channel ram in mind.
It doesn’t matter that’s it’s possible, you can use a single stick of 32gb, even though no one would recommend it over 2x16gbs. And it wouldn’t operate 32gb required applications quite right as well.
Also
soldered on.
What part of being cheap and making a worse product did you miss?
Using a single stick is worse, you lose the dual memory capacity. They are meant to be used in pairs. And at the speed of the worst stick as well.
Computers aren’t designed or meant to operated that way, so it will never be a requirement or specification.
Laptops with 12gb use an 8 and a 4 stick, losing all dual memory capacity. They are cheap, and make a worse product for it. Just use 2x8.
To get 12 gb of ram requires mismatched ram.
They come in 1-2-4-8-16gb sticks, and only usually have 4 ports. Some boards have more though.
Loads of steam games can be played in offline mode and stored in drives. That always been a feature and has never changed.
They just don’t need to promote it, who needs it knows about it, but people love circle jerking that GOG lets you own your titles. Both do, and both aren’t available to download when their servers are gone, so they are functionally identical. If Steam promoted it, it would probably be caught on and called out that it’s not actual “owning”. It’s weird seeing GOG being referred to differently, and people eat it up. It’s marketing, that’s all.
A lot of Steam games also have this functionality. Turn your steam offline and see what games are still available to play. You can store them on whatever drive you want as well.
… so you are a fool for thinking that ai confused a name and title even after having the article explain it… why would you “think” it’s confusing it when you know they aren’t? That’s being a fool lmfao.
Your opinion isn’t valid and makes you a fool since the “facts” show that it didn’t happen. Not everything is Ai just because you don’t understand it… again…
Why are you arguing so badly that this is Ai and the only defense is either not reading the article or just ignoring the obvious…?
How so?
Let’s see…
I think the AI couldn’t differentiate between name and job title.
The first sentence made it clear it wasn’t a name, so if you read the article, you wouldn’t have made this claim.
Where did I do that exactly?
See above.
I mean reading the first sentence of the article would have cleared up any confusion, you’ve shown how foolish you are, but bloviate all you want dude. Who just reads an article title and thinks that’s the entire article lmfao.
Act like a 5 year old, and get treated like one, what else would you expect lol.
Also, never insulted you, I just said if you come across like a fool, you will be treated like one.
“I don’t understand X so it has to be ai”
This mindset of people in the last few months has become mind boggling. It’s common journalism to shorthand stuff, the phrase isn’t hard to parse, and none of it has to do with someone’s name (reading the article made this clear in the first sentence), so claiming it’s Ai confusing them is just plain wrong to begin with.
Maybe if you didn’t come across so foolish, someone wouldn’t need to explain it like you were five.
They are the founder of Arkane which is the dev of Prey and Dishorned, their name is stated in the first sentence of the article

I insulted sir Gaben, steam and gaben are sacred on Lemmy. I spoke ill and got brigaded, happens to any comments like that. Could do without the blatant insults, surprised the mods allow it, or maybe they just haven’t gotten to it yet.
Funny how month long idle accounts come out as well on those same votes, what does any of it imply?
I never said it was easy?
Why do you keep insisting I’m moving the goal post?
You said it was a walled garden, so it sounded like you weren’t aware that homebrew and modern cartridge releases exist. And are now arguing why those aren’t applicable to your “walled garden” comment.
That’s literally what I’m trying to point out? They all have their own quirks. And yet people bicker it’s funny.
I point out there’s limitations on PC, and get insulted. The circlejerking against Nintendo and for Steam is just wild on this community.
Anyone can release a cartridge though? This part you’re ignoring.
Why move the goalposts? You’re also now suggesting we gatekeep devs? Why is releasing something on pc fine, but wouldn’t be fine if it was “homebrew”? Because it doesn’t fit your bias?
A game release is a game release, or do these limitations only apply to one side unevenly?
Pc is FULL of shovelware, so that shouldn’t be the metric we use? Yeah?
How so? How can it be a walled garden if anyone can develop and release a game cartridge for it?
You understand it’s a complex interaction between the entire system yeah? That’s not something that they can tell you.
If anyone’s trolling, it’s you trying to make up a new definition and being mad it’s not being done. When it’s just not possible, at all.
And the other user, wasn’t talking about what you’re bloviating about. So trying to drag them into this is just foolish.
Edit. If they say 12gb and you have 16gb system, but bogged down with other stuff, they are going to get sued for false advertisement. Because that’s not how any of this works. At all. Because your system has more than 12. It should work.
