Consider this: This is a game that is almost 15 years old. Has (more than likely) billions of lines of code in it and with each update and expansion, they work to update/fix/change systems based on what was learned from the last expansion/update..... Problem is, software does this weird thing where certain…

Not to mention that DRM like Denuvo is now hooking itself into the WinNT Kernel.... something I would never want on my system outside of Hardware Drivers. It gives the DRM potential access to the PC Hardware and if used improperly could cause OS level problems, not just problems with game.

It’s a major WoW Software patch. An absence of calamity would be shocking.

Here’s the problem I have with the uproar about Price. She was talking about a company owned product that she worked on in a very public place (You don’t post to twitter hoping people don’t see it, unless you set yourself to private) and got mad when a prominent community member dared to disagree with her.

Maybe, but now that I think about it, the name itself “Octopath Traveller” implies that there are 8 individual stories rather than a single overarching one.

It doesn’t matter, your public attitude reflects on those around you. In our world perception matters way more than what reality is.

So, as others have asked here, where do you draw the line? If you think that any game that allows civilian/school shootings should be banned, what about games like GTA and Postal. They aren’t explicitly about shooting up a school/church/etc those games sure allow you to do it (or similar actions).

Wouldn’t truly “racist” content fall under “Trolling”?

VS Code is a great tool and I do think there is a huge benefit to MS contributing to FOSS/OSS, but I don’t want them (or Apple, or Google, etc) to be the owners of the largest FOSS/OSS VCS service online. If anything, this sale will cause FOSS/OSS repos to become more fragmented in services they use.

The huge advantage that Git has over SVN is that Git is decentralized.

Comparing Apple iOS apps to PC desktop apps is like comparing apples to oranges. Of course Valve wouldn’t distribute GOG via Steam, but GOG directly competes with Valve, it makes sense. What we are seeing here is Apple rejecting what is technically just a Video Streaming/Remote access application because the user has…

The problem is that thought process could be applied to ANY app that provides remote access to a server or desktop as that app gives you access to purchase digital content from your iphone without going through the app store.

I’ll give you the comment on Frostbite, though I thought I had read that they did port the engine over to linux as a fun side-project, but weren’t allowed to use it for anything (in my experience in the tech field as a dev, this wouldn’t be surprising at all). I could be entirely wrong on this.

That said, Vulkan, DX12,…

I’m not saying I know more than DICE. In fact, DICE has gone on record saying that they’d like to try developing linux (starts digging for that quote), but it’s not DICE’s decision, it’s EA’s.

I work in Software Development and Systems Admin. Time and again our teams warnings, suggestions, and expertise are outright…

It is, but based on numbers given from actual companies that port games from Windows to Mac/Linux, it’s not as much to port the games as to originally develop them. Much of Game Dev cost is upfront for the entire game regardless of platform (cost of developers, artists, designers, producers, tooling, etc). The cost of…

I’m going to get a lot of flak for this, but as much as I love BF, I’m not buying an XBone or Windows License just for this game. There are millions of Mac and Linux users (Yes, those measly 3% and 1% user base translates to millions of users), yet EA/DICE can’t spend ~$50-100k for a return of well over $1 mil......…

If I remember correctly, though, even if Comcast were to buy Fox, all the rights for things like X-Men and FF would revert back to Marvel.

I’ve heard this a few times, but some of these questions, like this one:

There’s the difference - it fit with Killmonger’s character and how that character was being portrayed. The scene in question related to Okoye:

1. Was never confirmed to be anything LGBT related, that was inferred by readers (IIRC).
2. Wbeen out of character with the Okoye represented the rest of the movie.
3. Would’ve…

Anything that takes away from the primary story of a film is simply bad storytelling. You don’t diverge from the story just to include any specific group. You also don’t diverge from the characters, well character, to just show or acknowledge something.
