After discussing with the council members, we made the decision to go with the GPL license to ensure compatibility with projects like CnCNet
and OpenRA. Our goal was to deliver the source code in a way that would be truly beneficial for the community, and we hope this will enable amazing community projects for…

While I know that Sony and MS do some custom shenanigans with their console hardware, it is still largely an x86_64 platform and what makes it shine through is that consoles are limited to playing games. PCs are designed to do a multitude of tasks and as such the OS software limits access to the hardware to prevent…

I haven’t done anything professional at the hardware level in a long, long time so I wasn’t sure if someone had found some dumb way to hook an OS into the UEFI boot process.

That quote would imply that not all of the behavior people are complaining about is intentional.

It shouldn’t prevent POST since that’s before the OS is even loaded..... unless the WinNT kernel somehow has hooked itself into the UEFI boot process.

With a few exceptions, most companies are re-releasing popular classic titles separately on switch. Examples:

I imagine players of Rocket League, Warframe, Paladins, Fortnite, Overwatch, Diablo III, Dauntless, etc might notice

I’d be curious to know how we get people to stay at home for extended periods of time. For my family, it’s not a big deal as I can Work From Home, my wife watches the kids, and my youngest has asthma and is at risk.
But for others, it’s not that simple.

For example:

You’re assuming that COVID-19 can be vaccinated. Dr. Fauci and Health experts all over the world have warned that we don’t know if the virus can be vaccinated against.

I’m under NDA as well, but we still work from home. Every WFH environment I’ve been in utilizes some sort of SSL-based secure connection to ensure traffic is secure between locations.

I think the point he’s trying to make is that services exist out there, like Shadow gaming, that are exactly that. You just log into a Windows server and install Steam/GOG/etc and stream it through their app and they haven’t been targeted. Same for Steam’s streaming feature. I can install any game I own on Steam and…

I think the tricky place, long term, will be for players that just pay to rent a high powered system in the cloud running Steam and use its streaming feature that way. I have a few co-workers that have done that and it works great (assuming you have the internet speed to support it). Not to mention Steam allows users…

You have to install the Reforged version (30GB) to use the classic version. It’s a shit show

Except, if you own the original, you get an update that forces you to use the Battle.Net client AND they removed some game modes from the original to make it match the Remastered version

They did, they also updated the terms of use to say that they own anything map creaters make and don’t owe anything.

There’s the OpenRA project and it will pull down the assets from EA’s website as they made the original Dune2000, C&C, and C&C: Red Alert games free years ago.

I wonder what Command & Conquer Remastered means for the Free Downloads of the old games and projects like OpenRA?

No, you won’t have to after the general launch early next year. The sub is required for the founders (Which comes with 3 months for free). The sub contains the 4K resolution and some XBL/PSPro style bonuses (like cheaper games and free games). I still have some major concerns with Stadia, but until someone tests it…

There can be no ethical consumption under Capitalism in Business

I wouldn't be hopeful for final fantasy or dragon quest. SquareEnix seems now interested in chatting customers for re-releases
