Valve has only made mention of streaming bandwidth, nothing about the game being rendered (like how PSVR2 does it). As it stands it won’t do anything for the GPU performance.
Maybe there’s some sort of API games will be able to hook into, I seriously hope so.


Not necessarily.
Ubisoft might argue that it will open up another attack vector, with isn’t entirely unreasonable. But they could support it.


I can’t say having to fiddle around with Proton versions is exactly intuitive, though it has gotten better since last I tried it a year or so ago.
It is still not quite as smooth as it is on Windows, and I have tech-normie friends who want to do nothing more than download and press play.


BattlEye supports Linux, Ubisoft doesn’t.


EasyAntiCheat and BattlEye both support Linux/Proton, though not all devs have enabled/updated it.
The current Switch still selling as much as it does proves that performance doesn’t really matter.


Didn’t you know? Portugal is part of Eastern Europe.


Krafton did say they wanted a Hi-Fi Rush 2, as far as I know.
Say about them what you will, but good on them for stepping in and preventing Microsoft from shutting the studio down.


It’s a gift link?
Maybe your add-ins ‘cleaned’ the link somehow, but if you use the full one you can read the article.
It’s going to be based on user votes, and given just how popular that game was I don’t think it unlikely to win.


Black Myth Wukong had one of the highest concurrent player counts of Steam of all time. The game was very popular in China.
Meanwhile Astrobot’s sales figures were lacklustre, according to some reports.


I largely agree, but the interests have gotten misaligned. Back then it was the threat of regulation which changed things up, I think the governments should do a little more of that.


but… Looks like they don’t audit so good, if this article is evidence
That’s the whole issue with it being a lobby group. It makes them a ton of money, so they are incentivised against making a rating for it because that would draw more attention/limit sales.
And that’s where the whole government lobbying part comes in.


Not entirely sure about the European PEGI, but the American ESRB is funded by the same companies that it regulates. It was created after the outcry about violent games and was the industry self-regulating to avoid the government getting more involved.
It is a lobby group for the industry, for better and in this case very much for worse.
I assume PEGI is little different.
The “EA Originals” that they have put out have mostly been fairly solid, Hazelight’s games especially so.
Eternals of Aveum had its fair share of flaws, but it was a complete package.
Though, because it is EA, I cannot help but wonder if/when they’ll pull the switcharoo


Might as well add those details to your comment.
