It is only right that if a publisher wants to reap the immediate benefit of selling something digitally that they should then be responsible for maintaining owners access to that digital content. If they don’t want to maintain it, release it on physical medium with offline play and eat that cost. No worthwhile product ships for free.
No but if you “just want to make cool and fun games” you wouldn’t fund Gears 5 or Halo Infinite now would you?
I don’t think that :/ I think his statements and the games he chooses to back sort of prove that ultimately profit is what he is interested in. I don’t blame him for that. But don’t make him out to be what he isn’t. He is a CEO first, being a fan of games falls lower on the list.
Yeah and there are tons of angles and gestures for human subjects that AI just can’t figure out still. Any time I’ve seen a “stunning” AI render it’s some giant FOV painting with no real subject or the subject takes up a 12th of the canvas.
This is now the 4th time they’re trying? Give it up already…
They “supported” a bill that they immediately circumvented, yeah. They had no interest in protecting right to repair they just wanted the PR. It should surprise no one that they’re opposed to actual bills that force them to alter their business practices.
These companies tend to own or have long term leases, so either they are stuck paying rent and have to justify the expense or they own an asset that is depreciating in value and they could stop that from happening by spending no money to force their employees back into the office. You have to think about the big money, too. Real estate is a cornerstone asset for big money, many banks and real estate empires hold these enormous office buildings and society trending towards WFH means those buildings are rapidly losing their value.
Ah, there’s the rub. Thanks I was having a hard time figuring this one out.
This red panda thing is bolognium. Like I know the pandas are called Fire Foxes colloquially but the company themselves have said the icon is a fox. Because it is clearly a fox. These days the site is saying that Red Pandas “could be” an “unofficial” mascot for Firefox. That’s nothing.
There’s also differences between states on fire regs
Get it’s ass in gear? Apple has been actively fighting RtR and expandability in every way and only ‘supported’ the last RtR bill in Cali because they already had a circumvention in place using versioning. This is the exact same thing, PR gets to say they’re carbon neutral while they pump the exact same amount of CO2 into the air each year. It’s not just bad practice it’s deceitful.
Yup, or the Apple play which is just walk right around these regulations with some additional tricky bullshit while outwardly ‘supporting’ RtR. If I was a lawmaker I would be so fucking livid about this circumvention I would come back even harder but I guess I don’t know a lot about that process.
I’m pretty interested to see the prompt they use for Unreal
Wow well I guess I’ll eat crow. I never thought that was possible to automate but given the use of LLMs I guess it is… Excited to see how it turns out
There will never be a tool to convert Unity projects to Unreal. However there are already several to convert Unity to Godot, because both use C#
Edit: And as a dev that has used both, I just converted my project to Godot.
Edit again: It actually may be possible or at least be made easier using LLMs to convert to Unreal
Well if the sketch was made by the artist then no you can’t, and if the sketch wasn’t then the copyright board has a right to know, and he didn’t disclose the original image.
It’s too fucking funny that people are willing to post classified military specs on aircraft just to bitch about a game.
Federation basically just means your instance will scrape Meta in turn and serve their content to you, whereas being defederated it will not. That means federated or no, without additional precautions by admins of particular instances, Meta will be getting the same info federated or no. Being defederated makes interacting with Meta’s service much less likely though, which makes them scraping your data less likely. This update to the ToS honestly just sort of describes how the fediverse works anyway this isn’t some special feature of Threads, all instances behave this way.
Universal compatibility is too much to ask of anyone imo but I agree that DRM free would be the absolute best possible solution. But compromise seems a necessity
