  1. Blizzard Is Nerfing One of Diablo IV’s Most Enjoyable Builds Because It’s Ruining the Experience for Other Players

    This is the type of thing why I loath live service games (besides not being playable offline, or after the servers are taken offline).
  2. Console Graphics Have “Plateaued,” Former PlayStation President Says: “Only Dogs Can Hear the Difference”

    They might not code the renderer itself, but if it was all up to the engine then performance and graphics fidelity should be similar on all games using the same engine. But we know that's not the case. An engine is just a foundation, like a car manufacturer's platform that will see all kinds of...
  3. Console Graphics Have “Plateaued,” Former PlayStation President Says: “Only Dogs Can Hear the Difference”

    This is not a new thing, most rendering methods are about cheating in a way. Shadow maps are the cheat for real time ambient lighting, cube maps are cheat for real time reflections. Consoles have been using upscaling and checkerboard rendering for a while now too. AI upscaling is just the newest...
  4. Console Graphics Have “Plateaued,” Former PlayStation President Says: “Only Dogs Can Hear the Difference”

    This is one of those non-sense statements that these suit types will put out when they crave attention. Just go back to counting your money and leave the technical stuff to people who know what they are talking about, please. How dumb can you be for a CEO? How would natural light in your room...
  5. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    DEI has also poisoned the well, now the audience is rightfully skeptical when they see "diverse" characters in games or on TV. You can't help but wonder if it is a DEI casting or meaningful creative decision. Or if the actor was hired on merit or something else. So in essence non-white...
  6. "So Far Ahead": Intel Admits It Can't Compete with NVIDIA and Other Competitors in High-End AI Market as It Lays Off over 2,200 Workers Across Oregon,

    The sooner we see the AI market crash and burn the better for everyone involved. AI is not a moneymaker it is a giant hype balloon.
  7. PC Gamers Make Less Money than Console Players When They Grow Up, Survey Reveals

    Let me tell you a little secret, or not secret but the overlooked part. I can give important context. When we were kids, only the rich kids had consoles, we couldn't even dream about a PSX or N64 or Dreamcast. The rich kids? They had all three. A low end second hand PC was much cheaper than a...
  8. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    If it doesn't hurt the game then it is probably not woke. Woke is not when there are other than straight white male characters. We had more diversity in games before the woke ideology took hold. It's not how the character looks but their backstory and experiences people relate to. Unless they...
  9. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Won’t Be Significantly More Expensive than RTX 4090, It’s Claimed

    PSU connector ->PCIE 8 pin modular cable -> PCIE to 12HPWR adaptor cable -> 12VHPWR cable -> GPU connector. What could go wrong?
  10. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Won’t Be Significantly More Expensive than RTX 4090, It’s Claimed

    Some people might be wiling to pay 3000, but significantly less than those willing to pay 800-1000 which is the typical high end gaming bracket. I'd not be surprised if less than 10% was willing to pay 3000. Which of course nvidia doesn't care about as long as they can sell all chips. But that...
  11. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Won’t Be Significantly More Expensive than RTX 4090, It’s Claimed

    Why is it more expensive at all? It should be exactly the same price as it is the replacement product. What nVidia just gets to increase price with every gen so by 2075 a video card is a million dollars?
  12. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    There are a lot more factors, yes but nothing was nearly as bad for gaming as political correctness / DEI. We heard publishers moping about sales not meeting expectations, but we still got a steady supply of good single player games until the mid 2010s. I don't have a problem with tried and...
  13. Secret Level: Amazon’s New Adult-Animated Video Game Anthology Series Features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, and More

    "The future of Playstation" - But corporations aren't out of touch it is the gamers who are wrong!
  14. Cerence Has Been Told to “Consider Group Therapy” After Hiring Ex-Intel CEO to Lead AI Software Business

    Who? I don't recall even hearing this name. Why is he such a problem, what am I missing?
  15. Secret Level: Amazon’s New Adult-Animated Video Game Anthology Series Features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Keanu Reeves, and More

    It also features Concord :LOL: They were so confident it will be a giant hit that Sony actually paid the production company to include it before the game was even released.
  16. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    Rotten tomato that you just have to pretend to like - Rotten tomato that you are forced to eat.
  17. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    Political correctness is mostly just speech, DEI is putting it into practice. You just wasn't allowed to mention inconvenient truths, now you have to actively pretend those facts are not true.
  18. GOG Wants Gamers to Know Its Offline Installers Can’t Be Taken Away from You While Steam Reminds Them That Players Only Get a License to Play

    Unless this changed recently you could run different games at the same time just not the same one. I hope GOG will give early warning before going out of business. I don't want to download every installer just in case.
  19. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    Boardrooms were always a thing since game development grew out of garages and became an industry employing hundreds of people per studio. It's not as if they only started meddling recently. So no, I don't buy this as a reason. If anything there is not enough meddling. Just look what happened to...
  20. Piracy Causes a 20% Drop in Game Revenue, Denuvo DRM Research Finds

    I think they count downloads not even installs. I truly couldn't afford games in the 90s and early 2000s in Eastern Europe because they cost the equivalent of 2 weeks minimum wage. You can't convert people into paying customers with DRM who can't afford to pay for games. You also can't...
