f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4, do games w Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games

Valve applying a bit of regulation (the right way) and still making piles of money, weird how that works.

I’ve been saying for years that if we want healthy economies, compare to human health. When the factors keeping growth at a controlled rate are disrupted, you end up with cancer.

Rant is related although covering hardware manufacturing rather than software:

Commodore manufactured in the USA and Europe some of the best-selling personal computers ever under lack of regulation. When the market became dominated by IBM-compatibles and Macintoshes, Commodore folded and left Superfund sites all over. (Superfund is basically EPA disaster declaration allowing for taxpayer funds release for large-scale cleanup operations.) Privatize the profits and socialize the losses. (lack of regulation led to the wrong way)

Horsey,

to anyone reading this comment:

I strongly recommend going to this government website and checking out the superfund sites located in your area. If you live anywhere east of the Mississippi, your chances of living near or not far from an illegal dumping site are really high.

f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4,

I almost wish I hadn’t looked; knew my area had paper mills and wood processing, they’ve been dredging the waterways for PCBs (chlorinated organics) for decades.

I work with electronics and have heard from multiple older gentleman that when they were young, they saw old high-voltage transformers from power poles being replaced which would be leaking off the backs of the trucks until empty or even purposely tipped into the storm drains. Why is healthcare so expensive? 🤔

No apologies for being politics-adjacent in the Gaming community, billionaires aren’t keeping their hands out of anything either. Keep rewarding Valve and the good companies and shitting on the bad ones!

brunofin, do gaming w Godot Engine hits over 50K euros per month in funding

That’s pretty cool and I am actually a little excited to try and learn it just for fun. I did very little unity before and godot sounds very interesting

50gp, do gaming w Unity introduces new fees for game devs based on revenue and game installs

TWeaK, do games w Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live

Woop, remote play together also. So you can play with anyone else on Steam, the game runs on your PC and they connect in.

VoxAliorum, do games w Stop Destroying Videogames initiative to get a public hearing organised by the European Parliament

It’s mad funny that people can’t join for so many things but for video games they unite. All for it though.

With any luck, it’s because this issue is such a slam dunk that it’s got broader support than more divisive initiatives. In reality though, it’s most likely just because YouTuber drama got more eyeballs on it; and if that’s the difference here, the EU really ought to re-examine how they do these initiatives. 1M signatures out of a population of 440M is a tough bar to clear.

soulsource, do gaming w GOG now using AI generated images on their store
@soulsource@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

The best part is the job opening…

Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to increase team efficiency and code quality

Probably the boss of the person who had to write the job opening demanded they include something about AI, and the person who wrote it decided to turn their sarcasm up to 100. The only way to make it more clear would have been sarcastic casing:

Actively use and promote AI-assisted development tools to InCrEaSe TeAm EfFiCiEnCy AnD cOdE qUaLiTy

Hirom,

Ask an AI ton list static analysis tools, chose one of those, and never use AI again.

RejZoR, do games w Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark

I have 4 computers, only gaming one is still running Windows, other 3 were moved to Linux few years ago when Microsoft started with forced online accounts bs because I couldn’t be bothered dealing with stupid bypasses. Two are running Ubuntu, one is running Fedora. Those are never going back to Windows.

sugar_in_your_tea,

Sweet. Hopefully one day your use case will be resolved so the last one can move as well.

octoblade, do games w Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content

Has anyone else noticed that the MasterCard logo kinda looks like a butt?

kityumi, do games w Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games
@kityumi@lemmy.world avatar

SteamDeck verified means it works with all SteamDeck and OS features right? That means the actual playable games is way higher since its just Arch based.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

Yes, since most games are simply unrated.

But the “playable” rating does not require full steamdeck support, it just means the game runs. A “verified” rating means a game is a fully seamless experience on the deck.

Tattorack, do games w Devs of Monster Crown: Sin Eater a 2D monster taming RPG want to 'take that concept to its absolute limits'
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

You know, when you combine the term “2D monster taming RPG” with “absolute limits” literally everyone is going to think taming and fucking.

Anyway, Cloud Meadow exists so they got competition…
