Honestly always online DRM is illegal. You cannot provide a good a service. All these companies who are planting these time bombs into software and devices need to be handed a big FU and realize that they are creating the piracy they claim to protect against.

I like Valve, but I don't like them enough to believe they won't close my account on a whim for no reason one day.

I mean a few of us are still ... Android, Chromecast (Android TV), Google One, Google Suite, Google Mesh, Nest (the few products that remain).

Google is collapsing because we are not the customer they serve (anymore). We are the product.

They have spoiled all the good will their brand has which means they are vulnerable to competition.

Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I'm thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I've tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it's not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.

The only downsides are :

1. passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
2. absolute mouse position doesn't work over RDP so don't try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won't work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven't tested that yet.

I own a PS5 and I only own single player titles I bought on disc. I hope they won't take that away from me (I'm sure they will somehow).

Steam users are the base everyone desires to get to but no one wants to pay the toll to Valve for building the platform gamers want.

Oh nostalgia is coming on hard for this one!

Microsoft records every image on screen

Copy protection like widevine, "Am I a joke to you?"

I just found out you have to PAY for your prison stay. $50 dollars a day. What the actual hell?!

No one can undo years of economic turbulence in three years. Everyone feels like they're being gaslit because they are. The patient will bleed out before you finish applying the first bandaid.

There is something about the Palm Pre or Jolla Sailfish OS that was so endearing back then. Devices that support it just don't exist.

Simultaneously were in the age of retro revivals with emulation being at its peak thanks to the open source software community and the absolute pile of handheld form factor consoles available in the market.

Every bad launch has damaged the industry as a whole. The reputation for PC gaming has been diminished by a thousand cuts. No one expects a game to be good on launch. Everyone has been burned at least once by this.

This reminds me of when Rick Moranis was attacked on the street in NYC in 2020 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-arrested-new-york-city-attack-actor-rick-moranis-n1247852

You didn't EMPTY THE GREASE TRAAAaaaAAYY!

The only people that are going to stop this behavior are going to be Valve. They need to get on the stopkillinggames.com bandwagon because they are affected the most.

All these constant demands for refunds because a developer violates the terms of agreement by adding DRM or additional online service requirements months after the initial release that makes your product now unplayable is more than a trend. It's the future of the steamdeck if Valve doesn't do something about it.

My vote is universal Blue and its spins like Bluefin or Bazzite

I think it's hilarious with the market for Linux handhelds this hot that these companies are still like "ew no thanks"

Honestly, this article shouldn't be called how to. I'm trying to make heads or tails of this documentation but I would love to see more. I just want to recompile Mystical Ninja starring Goemon as it's my favorite N64 game from my childhood.

Can you tell if an AI is being trained on these Lemmy instances? How would you detect it and stop it?
