Looks like you failed at your duty of sexual education.


That actually varies by instance

Nobody’s enforcing it so who gives a shit?
Without caring to read the replies to that mail, pretty sure it’s because the forum feature can be seen as a social network and they just don’t want to deal with getting guardian’s approval and similar BS some laws around the world may require. openSUSE is a corporate-led distribution after all. They have to abide by different rules than some dude remixing Ubuntu in his bedroom.


Not copyrightable coding


Wire is still around? Tried it literally 10 years ago and didn’t like it at all.


Raise your hand if “your ecosystem” is built on free and open source software. Yeah. Literally no one else. STFU.
Funny how almost everyone else here didn’t even care to read the article where it clearly states that the source of the complaint is “Game Pass games installed through the Xbox app are locked down on Windows 11.” So typical Microsoft behaviour.
And yet, you’re being the one voted down.


You should generally always wait and see with basically all tech products. There is never really a reason to buy freshly released products except for FOMO stupidity.
Except that tech products get more expensive over time these days, not cheaper.


OP forgot to quote the actually relevant part which is in an embedded tweet:
Game Pass games installed through the Xbox app are locked down on Windows 11.
The root cause for the problem once again is Microsoft and their locked Xbox / Game Pass eco system.
Valve contributed open source drivers to Linux and SDL months ago.
I said it before and I happily repeat myself again: Just get an 8bitdo controller. The Ultimate2C is affordable and solid (Ultimate 3E for high end users) and I also never encountered a scenario where I would prefer a controller with trackpads over a good wireless keyboard with integrated touchpad and here Framework‘s upcoming one looks the most promising.


Is the whole operating system open source, or just the Linux kernel it is built on? Where do you acquire the source code?
Everything in SteamOS except the Steam Client is open source. Always has been (over a decade).


I think the 75% number may be accurate specifically for PC game distribution, not PC game revenue.
If that’s the case, free to play games like Fortnite wouldn’t even count despite competing for the same wallets and play time as pay to play games. This also completely ignores the installed base of EGS but that is the second important thing when judging a monopoly.
In a hypothetical scenario where 100 million people have both Steam and EGS installed and fully set up and then 75 million of those people choose to buy where they get better value for their money, Steam would not have a monopoly in this case because all 100 million people have both stores installed and set up. Linking Steam and Epic accounts is possible since many years and there are no hurdles at online matchmaking between Steam and EGS users – Epic themselves provide proof for that in their delisted Steam version of Rocket League.


Gog is no longer part of cd project red
“and according to their statements the funding got even better after their sale”


Only because they don’t count the Switch as handheld. Nintendo was pretty much the entire handheld market.
I don’t know what would be left by how they lay out the numbers. Switch (2) is console, Steam Deck is PC. The Chinese “boutique” handhelds by Ayaneo, Ayn,… use existing game ecosystems (either PC or Android).
I guess Playdate and whatever Atari sells these days. Can’t think of any other dedicated handheld with its own ecosystem.


which the gold VR line is drawn above
That’s your issue? A minor cosmetic thing? And I thought you meant that the VR graph should be way thinner and that its numbers are an overestimation.
Well, I think it’s a well readable graphic which is why I like citing it. It doesn’t require zooming in to get it but you can zoom in to read who’s responsible for the graphic (“Art direction + design: Clayton Wadsworth”).


Turns out you are the one lying.
You are obviously completely unaware about the concept of citing sources. I did not make that graphic and you did not care to follow the cited sources at the bottom of the graphic.
At the very worst you could accuse me of citing a source that’s 2.5 years old by now because its newest numbers are from late 2023 but then you made up random numbers without even backing up any of it, so my standpoint is still more valid than yours even if the numbers cited by me are not as recent as the numbers cited by @EldritchFemininity@lemmy.blahaj.zone


I know you didn’t make this graph, but what was whoever-it-was smoking when they put the line for VR all the way up there?
From what I’ve learned from buddies who are into VR, it’s a really weird subculture of super high end headsets, sometimes even full body suits with force feedback, and other shit. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if all that revenue is A) real and B) relying on a few big spenders.


multiplayer will suffer
Good. It’s a cesspool.


Maybe learn a little bit before you open your mouth; you sound as stupid as the FTC.
No arguments, only insults. Pathetic.


Valve is also an actual monopoly.
No, a fifth of the PC gaming market is not a monopoly.
True but registering for accounts is.
