Wait until they make all the money that was to be made on their game.
Then yoink all of that money.
The Internet is bad.

I’m legitimately worried about next gen, since Sony is doing the same thing with their pricing as GPU manufacturers.
That thing being, the increase in price is >/= the actual increase in performance. The PS5 Pro is a 75% price increase over the similarly disc-driveless $399 PS5 (hardware which is almost a half-decade old now).
For me, entirely the opposite.
I just bought the Lossless Scaling app on Steam for my RTX 3070. That shit is magic on the 144Hz 4K TV that my gaming PC is connected to. I play games exclusively with a gamepad, so I notice absolutely zero input latency.
I have fully drunk the frame gen Kool-Aid.
The PS5 Pro is a decent value compared to a PC. It’s just not an amazing value like the original PS5 was in 2020.
Take PCPP’s Entry Level AMD Gaming Build. Upgrade it to a 2TB NVME and a RX 6800 GPU. That’s $830. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/NtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build
That’s pretty similar specs to the PS5 Pro (with a better Zen 3 CPU, but minus a gamepad).
That optimization part is what worries me. I still remember games like Control & Cyberpunk being basically unplayable unless you had a PS4 Pro.
I’m surprised that they don’t take even a minimal amount of effort to clean those things up before selling it. A little dab of isopropryl alcohol does wonders.
That cartridge looks like it spent the last 20 years in a butt.
Someone buys fake on eBay. Plays it. Sells it to Gamestop. Minimum wage employee does not spot that it’s fake and it ends up on the used game shelf.
None of this is new.
There seems to be a TikTok campaign where certain people desperately want players to hate this game. I keep seeing this same skinny wispy-bearded dude over & over shitting on the game.
I keep seeing the videos, and what I watch just makes me say “It honestly doesn’t look bad to me.”
The Holy Trinity: VIM, Arch, and Rust
The regressions are what bum me out about playing Windows games on Linux.
Games like Yakuza 5, where Proton worked for awhile, but then broke. So you need to manually use year-old versions for the game to run correctly.
EDIT: Funny I should mention Yakuza 5, because I just tried it on this new version, and it works again. (No wrong audio on cutscenes. No getting stuck on the initial load screen when starting the game.)
It’s funny, because as much as people here hate corporations and monopolies, they would seemingly kill their own mother if it meant Steam would be the only seller of PC games.
EDIT: As demonstrated by these angry downvote reactions…

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.
Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.
I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.
Strongly recommend a KDE-based distro if coming from Windows.
Gnome is too janky when you’re used to the workflow in Windows. It’s almost like Windows 8, which nobody uses if they can help it.
KDE is just way more familiar.
Unfortunately, on every launch, AMD looks at Nvidia’s price gouging and says, “Yeah that pricing looks good for us, too.”
Congratulations. Your new position is…

This is an issue because of Steam’s 30% cut.
Other retailers take a smaller cut. But because Steam mandates that the Steam storefront always gets the lowest price, publishers can’t take advantage of that lower cut to offer lower prices. They can only lower the price to something that doesn’t torpedo them with a 30% cut on Steam.
SHHHH!!!
Monopolies and authoritarians aren’t bad as long as people like them! Hadn’t you heard?
The person I was arguing with was saying that “infrastructure is anything which is something anyone can do”. I gave an example of something that anyone can do which isn’t infrastructure.
It’s absolutely a direct refuation — a counter-example which disproves their original statement. It’s not a “straw man”, as much as you get mad and scream that it is.
Did they still find a way to blame their Western developers since they shed them all?
