BombOmOm, miesiąc temu w Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

11% month on month expansion is fucking crazy. You can see from the data it’s mostly Windows 10 users deciding to upgrade to Linux…and even OSX.

11% of 2% is nice but not “fucking crazy”

Steam has over 132 million monthly active users

That month on month Linux expansion is ~422,000 computers. That is a shitload of people switching in just a single month.

OSes are sticky as hell. People don’t like switching. As Linux attracts these people away from Microsoft, MS is not going to get them back. And importantly, the adoption rate is high enough that many 3rd party companies are taking notice and releasing for both.

You’re doing gods work, GOG. No wait, scratch that.

I love this from GOG. I already liked them because of their game conservation efforts, but now I like them even more.

lowspeedchase, miesiąc temu w Please, don't post articles "this/that store ban nsfw content": it's payment system (like Visa/MasterCard) that want to regulate/take control of censorship above your government.

Well if you want to peel the onion another layer, you should really be mad at laywers and our litigious society as a whole, payment processors don’t have morality, nothing in capitalism does - they are responding, just like valve, to external pressures.

I guess they are about to make John Romero their bitch now.

Jokes aside, it is sad to see all the cuts going on right now, especially since I think they’re stupid, shortsighted and misguided.

gravitas_deficiency, 2 miesiące temu w Gamers Are Reportedly Skipping GPU Upgrades Due to Soaring Prices — Paying Bills Takes Priority Over Chasing NVIDIA’s RTX 5090

Nvidia doesn’t really care about the high-end gamer demographic nearly as much as they used to, because it’s no longer their bread and butter. Nvidia’s cash cow at this point is supplying hardware for ML data centers. It’s an order of magnitude more lucrative than serving consumer + enthusiast market.

So my next card is probably gonna be an RX 9070XT.

Syldon, 2 lata temu w Weekend PC Game Deals: Focused specials, stealth bundles, and free heists

Busy playing Shadow tactics: blades of the shogun ATM. I have Aiko’s choice already, but haven’t opened it yet. The series comes highly recommended in reviews. Blades of the shogun hasn’t disappointed so far. Just a very slow moving game that you pick up to fill in a bit of time.

I used to love the NFS series. I really wish they would remove that 3rd party DRM. It is nothing but spyware IMO.

Lt_Worf, 2 lata temu w Blizzard notes Overwatch 2's review bombs but insists players say it's "in the best state it's ever been"

There’s a difference between the gameplay and the greedy, manipulative monetization.

The gameplay itself is solid and polished better than just about any multiplayer game out there - anyone who tries to argue otherwise is letting their (justified) anger toward Activision/Blizzard influence their judgement.

The monetization feels gross and disrespectful of the playerbase. It’s like we have this well-made AAA quality game, but it’s inside a vegas casino. Even if you enjoy it, you have to deal with this unsettling feeling of being scammed the whole time that you play.

They’re not wrong. Overwatch 2 is in the best state it’s ever been.

Unfortunately, that state is: “the same game as Overwatch 1, but with a worse monetization scheme”.
