No I think twitch hosts all kinds of livestreams and hides behind the ides that they are all about gaming. Twitch maintains more style than other social media, but its just monopolizing one kind of social media post. Live streams.
Um. Why? I think Walmart and college football are both highly profitable and abusive enough that federal regulation should be hitting their business practices. But Twitter and twitch? Pre-elon, I think they both had an effective monopoly on their markets but weren’t visibly abusing that monopoly. They are, but its just not that damaging.
I wonder if it would be advantageous to make a community about live streaming now that Twitch has finally grown out of being a gaming platform. Justin TV was so much more diverse, live streams are so much more than just Twitch and the meta there. Edit: how some people feel about twitter is how I feel about Twitch. A company is making a genre of media uninteresting to me.
Yes the comment literally says “polished from day 1” 🤔 and mine explains that the game has been being polished regularly for months.
Which is great, it’s cool to see a GOTY level game come out and its even better to know what a GOTY game looks like - not perfect on launch, but immediately receiving the necessary fixes.
Now I work a bit to hype myself up about games. The game’s wiki usually has a good synopsis and some wallpapers. There are promo videos, and often a promotional website. And the flow of memes and *ahem * fan art coming from new game releases is often also helpful.
No hey this is valuable added input. Sorry you’ve had a rough experience, and I’ll take this as a warning that I will most likely have to learn some new skills in dealing with the issues you’re describing.
Quake that people actually play. Like look at the virality of Battle bits Remastered, the Battlefield with block characters so you can have like 200 people in the match. Games need to feel snappy and run on a lot of low tech machines, and developers are mostly never catering to that budget demographic. FPS games have a huge demand for this. The hundreds of thousands of nerds who can infodump about how incredible the Source engine feels is my proof. So yeah I think there is still a market for competitive movement game 2.0 - a team fortress 3, a titanfall 3, a quake / unreal tournament that runs well and allows community mapping. Like unironically last gens engines followed the wrong upgrade paths and there is still more performance to squeeze out (titanfall 2 using highly customized source and it looking like a AAA game rather than a source game as my proof)
It sounds like Intel is releasing mid-October. I don’t know if Intel is of interest to you, and these are described as flagship cards. I also have no idea if this will effect prices on other cards or not.
Because I’m on Linux I have no interest in Intel / Nvidia, though Intel can have amazing performance on Linux when they give it the proper firmware updates.
Intel’s previous release was not great, by the way. This does throw doubt in my mind this next one will do anything for you other than potentially reflect in the prices of other products. 🤷♀️
