Honestly might not be such a bad idea. Unity is built on .Net, which Microsoft also owns. The teams could work together to get Unity modernized and cleaned up, and I bet developers would trust Microsoft more than Unity (Consider that Microsoft also owns VS Code, Github, npm and more that tons of devs frequently use)
ASUS seems to think their ROG brand has a ravenous following that would ignore better hardware for brand loyalty. But the entire PC users segment they grab with their ROG label are also focused on performance using frames and milliseconds. Losing 2/3s of the power is like asking them to throw their money away. PC gamers will never be as brand loyal as they are performance loyal.
Atari acquires massive Atari archive (AtariAge) after revealing a ‘new’ 2600 that takes cartridges recaptures their intellectual property rights over former abandonware
From a hardware perspective, that's been true since just after the 1983 crash, when it was sold to Jack Tramiel's company -- even before the Lynx and Jaguar. The software side was split into Atari games which has an even longer history of being passed around.
So the article writer is basically saying they gave up on a free OS because it doesn’t have corporate backing.
So split the difference and get a Mac. Forget what people tell you about the Mac tax, they’re $500. They’ve been $480 on sale for the holidays. That’s the M4 Mac mini. You can spec it out with more cores and more RAM, but it’s 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, and something like 8 cores. Good enough for most people, but you’ll probably want more storage. So add some, it’s got like 5 USB-C ports on it, and hubs exist. It’s also like, the size of your fist. Anyway, it’s a corporate (Apple) backed computer, and it’s not Windows. So, there. Problem solved… right?
Obviously not for Linux gaming, and Proton doesn’t exist on macOS (Crossover does which is kind of the same thing… Crossover contributes to WINE, and Proton is based on WINE), but gaming is roughly the same prospect on a Mac as it is on Linux. You gotta emulate or whatever the hell WINE is (WINE Is Not [an] Emulator) but whatever. Compatibility layer, same thing to the lay person. Which you are if you go running back to Windows after trying Linux for 5 whole minutes.
Ever since they bumped the min-spec Mac Mini to 16GB RAM, it has looked like such a great deal. The upgrades are still way too expensive (except RAM now I guess?) but base model is great.
I think they should offer a base of 512GB (or 500GB?) for the storage, but yeah, I mean, I got a 2TB external SSD for around $110-120 on Black Friday a couple years ago. That plus my 8TB external hard drive… My Mac has 10.5TB to play with (and around ~1TB free between all drives).
"“We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental.”
Gotcha, so same time next year? What do you mean innovate? I played BO6’s campaign because it was free and I said fuck it why not, and it was clear to me that the devs would rather do anything else than a CoD campaign.
You can’t really innovate, CoD is creatively bankrupt it has been for years, are you going to go back to WW2 again?
