“oh, this game looks so bad it may as well have been made in Unity”

I didn’t say multi-inheritance takes up more RAM, that would be absurd.

Not the smartest thing to say considering Arkham Knight is also on the PC running at higher quality and now frame-rate than the console release

I completely disagree that this is for existing Steam customers. If you’re an existing Steam customer, chances are you have a PC that you are happy with.

Modern AI is RAM dependant rather than processing power as modern AI techniques involve large behavioural trees (which used to be accomplished with multi-inheritance, now we do it via component programming) and state tracking, the actual processing is just crawling over the possible states that the AI could be in.

Grand Theft Auto V has some of the most convincing crowds in games, but the illusion still frays if you stand still for too long.

There’s been reports that there is a “filled VRAM” option. Try turning that off and see of your FPS is fine.

This is a reference to WoW’s April Fools’ joke in 2004 http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Ogre_(Apr…

The resolution differences are pretty noticeable.

The experience comes from elsewhere in the industry. You won’t gain experience working on a kernel and you won’t be in a FOSS project until you have experience and the skills to do so.

I see exactly where you are coming from. The biggest drawback to the approach is that it scares off potential talent, which is a massive loss overall.

The last company I worked for had a cold approach with lots of insults and swearwords being thrown at each other (regardless of position in the hierarchy) just to make sure we kept an objective view of our code.

The situation here is vastly different. We’re talking about actual code in Linux, the OS that’s all over the planet and the basis of Android.

I’d say Linus is a pretty great person. He’s a dick because it results in good code.

Getting onto the Kernel tree requires reputation and friends more than near-genius level abilities.

I’d wager most experienced programmers can barely understand the finer details

The Steam machines are supposed to target those who aren’t in the PC gaming market yet but are currently console gamers, they certainly do not cater to current PC gamers and those capable of building their own machine - Steamlink is for those customers, which is why you find that interesting.

There’s more Linux games than there are XBone and PS4 games...Combined. 35 is a small number - but it isn’t an invisible number; the gaming community can cope but I’d expect the games to be fixed.

It’s absolutely asinine to charge B&M fees
