I doubt it. I just downloaded Persona 5 Royal (about 30-40GB) in like 10 minutes flat.

Meanwhile Amazon is telling me it probably won’t have my copy to me on the 10th.

I agree that 5 is better than 6. But you’re mad if you think 2 is the worst one. 2 was great.

Probably the same airlines that are receiving several hundred billions dollars in bailout money to not lay off their staff who are going to immediately lay off their staff.

They don’t all pull from the same servers. Steam’s content is distributed across multiple data centers in many parts of the world. I mean seriously... can you imagine even in off-peak hours downloading a 50GB game in Romania or something? You’d be downloading that thing for a week. At least.

Is it really THAT big a deal? Steam already updates at bonkers-o-clock in the morning for most people. A time when most of the country is asleep. Most updates are tiny. And most of us don’t have our entire Steam libraries installed all at once (for me it’d take about 8 TB of space to do that... no thanks).

The fact is too, this recent suspension of data caps and the subsequent non-failure of the Internet infrastructure should demonstrate that the data caps in general are nonsense. They serve no purpose other than to enrich the ISPs and punish people who skirt the limits on occasion.

Well that’s just crazy talk.

It’s going to be basically everybody before too long.

Sold out

I really hope you’re joking.

“Want” may be a strong word. Those things absolutely devour energy and are horribly inefficient compared to their installed horizontal cousins.

Bastion exists.

Moira and Widowmaker already exist.

No amount of scientific evidence or advice from experts will ever stop me from blowing into cartridges. It’s worked for over 30 years damnit.

That’s probably what they’re talking about.

Even if the developers shouldn’t have had to predict a global pandemic fucking up their stats, they should absolutely have added tolerance to the code to account for failure to get new data. That’s just basic shit.

Man we just can’t help it can we? We are culturally... possibly morally... obligated to fuck up any good idea that comes across our plate.

See I’m not sure the law is actually on the publishers’ side here. But Nvidia would have to take them to court over it to figure that out. They seem more willing to let their new service just implode rather than do that though.

So I’ve learned that a lot of the publishers and developers pulling out of GeForce Now helped build the damn thing. They helped make it a reality... and then suddenly realized they didn’t like it after building it. Yeah, not buying that one.
