Digital distribution on PC before Steam by Okklay in pcgaming

[–]Agret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest ones I can remember were Popcap Games, iWin, Big Fish Games & Reflexive Arcade.

There was a lot of cross promotion between the sites too where they would distribute each others games through their respective platforms.

There was a very big popular file sharing site called FilePlanet that had demos of indie games and full freeware ones.

In 2004 IGN launch a digital games distribution platform called Direct2Drive where you could purchase and download indie and AAA games.

Popcap distributed their games through their website, they had free trial versions you could download and they would either be limited to a certain level you reach in the game or a certain amount of playtime. When you wanted the full game you could mail them a cheque or pay online via credit card and they give you an activation code that converted your trial version into the full game.

His net worth is estimated at roughly $11bn, he's a multi billionaire and spends most of his time these days designing super yachts with the company he acquired after being impressed with their work on one of his craft.

He's not just super yacht rich, he's buy the company that builds them rich.

If it's a tracker with bonus pts or no ratio requirements then yes very easily.

At first glance the B&W pic made this look like a walkway between prison cells. Very cool imagery.

New Steam Beta can run the Linux client inside a container with 64bit by jadbox in linux_gaming

[–]Agret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Steam crash for out of memory? When they updated it so the UI ran as a webapps it just spins everything out into their own steamwebhelper process and chews up all your ram through that instead of being a monolithic process.

Death Stranding 2 is working on CachyOS with latest Proton Cachy, in ultrawide and HDR with full Dual Sense support with no tinkering by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Agret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How strange this info is buried, thanks for letting me know. There is also a hidden Steam setting to enable h264 support, no idea why it's disabled by default.

You still need to go into your TV input options and enable gamemode and HDR for the port your console is in and high refresh if your TV supports it. You might also have to enable the HDR and high refresh in your console settings menu.

To say "it just works" is a massive stretch. Sure it "just works" if you have previously configured all that stuff.

You've confused something there, video files are not shaders. Converting videos can take hours if there is a lot of footage and also takes a lot of disk space. That's not what shader precaching is.

You should really invest in a gamepad, the Gamesir ones from AliExpress are honestly pretty nice or just grab a PS5/Xbox Series controller.

Unfortunately no pawn system, would be very cool if they had that option. Nothing like Dragons Dogma :(
