The main thing stopping me is that I only use my PC for gaming, and I know the support for drivers etc isn’t as good on Linux (though I know this is debated).
However if Linux became more centralised, with a “gaming first” distro like this, the graphics drivers would have a “main test case” to work with.
This is my theory anyway.
Warhammer Rogue trader has one character laugh and shout “haha! Reduced to dust” on a kill.
Oh don’t worry, there’s going to be more.
A lot of companies are working on live service games in hope of being the next overwatch/destiny.
Some even have multiple (like Sony) in the hope that even one of them takes off.
Amazing thank you. I’ve got the one-year-of-older-price thing for people who were already subscribed.
But seeing as how I don’t use any of the features… when that’s gone I will be unlikely to renew.
Yeah but that price jump is nuts. I’m sure there’s something out there 70% as good for 10% of the price.
We’re riding this wave over in the Total War community too. Broken game, weak and overpriced DLC.
We kicked off (and then all their other games managed to flop at once, so they came crawling back) and now we’ve got a notable amount more effort into the DLC coming at the end of the month, as well as price cuts, refunds and redoing of the bad DLC.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but I’m seeing positive movements in general on legacy resting-on-laurels games.
There were some great levels.
The abandoned ice prison was great.
And uhhhh… well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can’t be a bad sign, can it?
Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just… nothing-y.
E-commerce isn’t as much of a monopoly as “reddit-style social media”.
Technically anyone has the ability to open an eshop and sell whatever they want (provided they follow the appropriate sales/tax laws etc).
It’s just that people don’t like to buy from no-name shops online, as reputations give a level of accountability.
I imagine a lot of people got their credit card details stolen when the first eshops appeared.
If they’re anything like me, it’s the old laptop that you’d install Linux on as an experiment.
And maybe that laptop was only ah… Semi-retired at the time.
