    News Confirmed: Deviation Games ("new" studio from former Treyarch devs and former Sony partner) has been officially closed without shipping a game

    This is part of my Playstation recovery plan. I agree they have to do it.

    News Confirmed: Deviation Games ("new" studio from former Treyarch devs and former Sony partner) has been officially closed without shipping a game

    Here's my conspiracy theory: Sony made the deal with Deviation to make a first party Modern Warfare game in response to Call of Duty going Xbox exclusive. But CoD isn't going Xbox exclusive, so Playstation pulled the plug.

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    If you could infinitely copy the money in my bank account, I would be happy to share. Why do you look down with disdain on *people* wanting free entertainment?

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    The connection between me buying your book and you getting paid is far from direct. I would prefer if you just got a permanent income for being a writer. And I can get the same for writing software I find interesting.

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    if it was possible to infinitely ctrl+c/ctrl+v a car, but instead you still have to pay $60k because of licensing fees, it would further demonstrate the insanity and antisocial nature of copyright. there's already a pretty close analogy with pharmaceuticals. the materials cost of a pill is...

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    breaking the terms of a user license is not stealing. i'm not "supporting piracy" and i don't need a moral stance to defend myself.

    Discussion How is Emulation supposed to be "Game Preservation"?

    You're not gonna lie, you're also not going to think very hard to understand the issue. "Piracy" is a propaganda term promoted by publishers and the FBI to provoke a moral false equivalency. The legal issue is copyright infringement. Emulation has nothing to do with copyright infringement...

    Take Two must be expecting an insane attach ratio.

    PC A Baldur’s Gate 3 was the most played game on Steam Deck of 2023

    It's definitely not the best way to play, but I probably did 30+ hours on Deck. Sync'd cloud saving is key.

    PC Steam Spring Sale 2024 is live

    System Shock for $20 is a buy. There's nothing else I'm super tempted by that I don't already own. Jedi Survivor for $31 is good. Diablo 4 for $35 is a big discount. I might bite on Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection for $25 since I never beat Lost Legacy. Not quite an impulse buy price...

    PC Intel’s new Core i9-14900KS arrives today for $699 with boosts up to 6.2GHz

    Top of the line parts are never worth the premium unless you're doing cutting-edge professional work where it'll give you a competitive advantage. For practically everybody, you're better off getting a notch above mainstream parts (so Ryzen7, i7, xx70, x700) and upgrading more often.

    PC Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO simply replied 'you mad bro?'

    A weirdly cunty article that doesn't have anything interesting to say. The headline content is clear great news about Valve and how effective they are as a company (you could dig deeply into why that is if you're a journalist), but it's filled with all these bullshitty barbs: Steam "belches...
