@ValTenebris no, im saying that theres already millions of gamers who dont own software and no one is this opposed to that, so why is game streaming getting this response?
i think game streaming makes sense for non-enthusiast audiences

people are so mad at this like i just dont see the difference between paying for gamepass to install games i dont own on my computer or paying for gamepass ultimate to play games i dont own on the cloud? like whats the difference atp

you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.

I might be a little bit dramatic here but i think we should register whoever pushes for cloud computing on some sort of criminal list, the amount of shilling in favour of companies ownership is a crime against humanity.

@Smthingedgy She works for google, a company that is trying to push this technology since ever, honestly i mever understood why she gained so much popularity here, i am pretty sure she will follow a downfall path like PirateSoftware did

@lauriewired Also you're not taking into account other aspects of pc gaming, like modding

@lauriewired The point here is not (and never was) efficiency, we are already in a landscape of distrust toward big corporation and this argument of yours is favoring companies to have even more centralized control on us, on our hardware in this case.

Valve will eventually drop the Made with AI label. It’s already aging like milk
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has called Valve’s AI disclosure policy on Steam “irresponsible,” arguing that forcing developers to label games using AI could unfairly target smaller studios. Sweeney believes AI will soon be a normal part of game development, so requiring developers to label games that use AI “makes no sense.” "I think it's really irresponsible of Valve. They shouldn't do it, because it makes it much, much, much harder for a game developer to have a chance of success. You have to choose from either not using tools that can make you way more productive, and probably failing due to competition that does." He also warned that these labels could make it easier for people to review-bomb games, especially those made by smaller studios.

Still using Game Design Documents as a solo indie dev? This is how the cool kids are designing indie games now:
1. Add your game to the database
2. Pick from references
3. Add your twist
4. Download the Godot assets
5. Profit

@Pirat_Nation "Friend slop" genre already fixed this issue.
Reality is people have literally 0 reasons to migrate from an established game toward the 1000th unoriginal hero shooter.
English
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney believes many new multiplayer games are struggling because players don’t want to leave the friend groups they have already built in games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, and Apex Legends.
According to Sweeney, only massive hits that appear every few years can convince entire communities to move to a new game. He says this is one of the main reasons why many recent multiplayer releases have flopped
To address this, Epic plans to make Unreal Engine 6 more interconnected.

@Dexerto At the time, i remember them selling the Steam Deck at a loss, i guess they weren't able to absorb the costs with game sales; since they are changing aproach now.
