Suavevillain, do games w Netris is an open-source cloud gaming platform with Stadia-like features using Proton
@Suavevillain@lemmy.world avatar

I actually liked Stadia minus the way they wanted you to purchase games. But the tech was good and had almost no lag for me.

I mean, the purchasing model was fine. It was like any other game store. It’s just it was a new service and lots of people already had existing libraries they wanted to take with them … which just isn’t how that sort of thing normally works. Particularly with the way Google had it designed so that you could play purchased games without a subscription.

MentalEdge, do gaming w Microsoft closes Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin and others
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Fuck this. I would have been STOKED to see another game by Tango.

CharlesReed,

Same here, I finished Ghostwire: Tokyo for the first time a few weeks ago and have always been a fan of The Evil Within. This sucks.

Computerchairgeneral, do games w The Triple-i Initiative gaming showcase is coming April 10th

No ads? No awkward celebrity cameos? No sponsors? Just video games? At a video game event? Ridiculous.

More seriously, there are a lot of good studios on that list and I'm excited to see what they have to announce.

cbarrick, do games w Team Fortress 2 has a 64bit and Vulkan update for Linux in testing

Ooo. This could mean a macOS port support with Proton and Rosetta 2.

Rosetta 2 only supports 64 bit apps.

unlikely, otherwise I’m sure we’d have already seen cs2 on macOS

Valve has no plans for CS2 on macOS.

Thelgor, do gaming w Unity introduces new fees for game devs based on revenue and game installs

Progressing along the enshitification line nicely.

scrubbles, do gaming w 5 years ago Valve released Proton forever changing Linux gaming
!deleted6348 avatar

Huge kudos to them, they saw that they were on top of the PC market and wanted to expand, and they found the market of linux users who wanted to game on their machines too. Wine wasn’t up to par for gaming and they took it and ran with it. Beyond that they open sourced proton too, something most companies wouldn’t have done. Even if they quit now the help they gave to the linux community is immeasurable

nodiet,

Proton is based on wine, which is copyleft so valve didn’t exactly have a choice in keeping it open source. I also don’t necessarily think that their goal was to reach the rather small existing user base of Linux users, but rather they wanted to make sure they aren’t at the will of a bigger company (Microsoft) whose product is/was required to run most of what valve makes money with.

This is probably more accurate, their entire model depended on Windows, and if they wanted to make their own devices they would all be forced to either start new or get Linux up and running. Motives aside they did good for the community

nodiet,

Oh yeah their efforts are definitely a huge net benefit for the Linux community, I just don’t like seeing big companies portrayed in a better light than they deserve. When it comes down to it, what valve really cares about is still their bottom line.

knokelmaat,

Linux users (me included) are only a few percents of all PC users. I don’t think they did it for us as a market, more to have an alternative to windows if they start closing down more (started with Windows 8 I believe). First try they fumbled a bit with the Steam Machines (Stream OS and proton weren’t there yet and the prices were not really competitive) and now nailed it with the Steam Deck. I do love that they seem to care about openness to some degree!

thehellrocc,

Yeah, it’s probably more about them not being locked in MS’s ecosystem more than anything, but whatever the intention may be, everyone is benefiting from the results.

Maybe not Microsoft, but I could learn to live with that I suppose

brucethemoose, do games w Playtron wanted to take on Windows and SteamOS with their GameOS, now they're announcing a cryptocurrency

So… Microtransactions.

They want more microtransactions?

Even giving them the benefit of the doubt, is there any game dev or gamer currently dissatisfied with existing payment systems? Are people in certain countries struggling with the mechanics of paymernt? Like, there are tons of ways to shoehorn in random charges or in-game ownership systems, and I don’t see what crypto brings other than moving the purse-holder.

Again, devil’s avocate: one could argue current platform fees (30%) are very high, but this is more of a monopolization issue than a fundamental payment system one,

@Little8Lost@lemmy.world avatar

And even then, the SteamOS has a desktop mode so you could play only games from Itch or other platforms

The above link is recommended to learn more about the added mod support! (Just to add some context.)

Stovetop,

This is the video I didn’t know I was looking for in life.

I’ve been very into Zelda rando stuff lately, but the mod support shown here just seems above and beyond what I’ve seen so far from my limited experience with Ship/2Ship.

Does this finally mean Ben Drowned can be realized?

Darkcoffee, do games w Team Fortress 2 Classic is coming to Steam thanks to Valve adding TF2 to the Source SDK

That is such good news! Can’t wait to see if they incorporate more stuff from the SDK too!

simple, do games w Team Fortress 2 Classic is coming to Steam thanks to Valve adding TF2 to the Source SDK

Awesome! I’ve wanted to play it for a while but never had the chance. Hopefully this reinvigorates the TF2 community.

AnExerciseInFalling,

The TF2 community has been going strong! There’s even been a revitalization of classic custom game modes like TFWare, Balloon race, Dodgeball, Smash Bros, Randomizer, Class Wars, etc: teamwork.tf/community/quickplay

    I haven’t seen a blatant cheater / bot ever since they did the update that banned a ton of them. They used to be in every single casual match and I would have to join a community server.

    DavidGarcia, do gaming w Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games

    They should make an exception for cyberpunk games, for added immersion

    Technically every game is a cyberpunk game because we live in a cyberpunk dystopia.

    @BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

    Fuck that! Do the work and design fake companies and products. Thats half the fun walking around a store in any video game. Seeing the funny names and references they come up with.

    I don’t want to see fucking ads for anything that’s a real product being pushed in my face in ANY MANNER in video games!

    Zorque,

    Buy Sprunk!

    Kolanaki,
    @Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

    Cyberpunk games would be fine, these rules are about forcing players to watch an ad to experience parts of the game, like when a mobile game makes you watch an ad before you can continue playing after beating a level or when you can watch an ad to get more coins/gems or whatever. Having ads in the game itself isn’t being banned.

    B0NK3RS, do games w Get ready for a smashing time as Wreckfest 2 comes to Early Access in March
    @B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m excited for this. Let’s hope it doesn’t take 4 years like nextcargame :/

    @Lootboblin@lemmy.world avatar

    THQ Nordic bought Bugbear in 2018 so the funding is at least better than in nextcargame’s early years.

    B0NK3RS,
    @B0NK3RS@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah I’m sure it’ll be fine. I jumped on Nextcargame very early and those first couple years were real slow going…

    bjoern_tantau, do gaming w New Steam Controller 2 and VR controller designed got leaked
    @bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

    I really hope the VR controller can be used without VR. Stop forcing my hands together! I want freedom!

    Loved the Wii for the ability to hold my hands independent of each other.

    mtlvmpr,

    Well the joy-cons kinda do that but if you wanted something that’s actually adult sized you’d have to check 3rd party options and there’s probably no guarantee that it will work on anything other than the Switch.

    dabaldeagul,
    @dabaldeagul@feddit.nl avatar

    JoyCons are very uncomfortable and fairly unreliable… Would be nice to have some quality product that serves a similar purpose.

    Midnitte,

    There are attachments for the JoyCons you can get to make them a little more comfortable
