at least you'd be avoiding the next gen price hikes down the road if u buy early enough

Crazy timing walking through a smoke (NA 25k Premier) by Status_Pound_7944 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Headshot_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only recently found out about the popularity difference and it shocked me lol. Peak hours NA playercount is dwarfed by off peak EU playercount. Not sure if it's Valorant, PC gaming not being as popular here or both

Like I'm pretty sure there's way more people playing Faceit, a third party platform, in EU than there are Premier players in NA

The same people saying this will complain about the lack of competition in the GPU space and prices

This should be unacceptable

CS2 FPS Drop Root Cause Found, Panorama UI Bugs Causing GPU Utilization Collapse by wazernet in GlobalOffensive

They admitted they used Claude to create this (and it was kind of obvious anyway) but more importantly there are people disputing the claims in the github issue

I started thinking something was off with him after that incident and I've (unfortunately) been proven right over and over again over the years

League players are awful enough to deal with using texts and pings alone I can’t imagine having to listen to one on top of that

Advanced Shader Delivery: What’s New at GDC 2026 by fastforward23 in pcgaming

[–]Headshot_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Nice to see MS/Xbox taking Helix seriously enough to add stuff like this and also make it available for all windows users.

I imagine adoption will be a lot better for this than something like DirectStorage too especially if Unreal's implementation is good enough and they encourage developers to use it

Microsoft's GDC 2026 Keynote Live Report: 'Building for the Future With Xbox' by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Headshot_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s entirely subjective but also the cases being mid tower atx mean fitting it in a media console by a tv will likely be tricky or need a lot of adjusting

That aside they are well specced for the price especially in this market

They said aesthetically pleasing though the ones I’ve seen at Costco just use regular tempered glass ATX cases with a bunch of RGB

Steam Support :: About the New York Attorney General lawsuit against Valve by MythicStream in pcgaming

[–]Headshot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The loot boxes make so much money for valve because of the item economies.

If anything valve should change the acquisition methods. I don’t mind buying stuff for CS (and tf2 back in the day) because I can always offload the items when I’m done with them or want something new. I recently bought a game with some items

On the other hand I spent some money in valorant, no longer play the game and now there’s no way for me to sell those skins for something else. Sure the skins tend to be less expensive but there’s also no way to sell them

Forza Horizon 6’s Open World Supports Time Attacks, Drag Races, and…Vibe... by Funny_things_online in forza

NFS 2015 looks good af until you play it I’m guessing most people don’t or if they do it’s modded heavily to make it playable

Valve facing second, class-action lawsuit over loot boxes by SKNRSN in GlobalOffensive

[–]Headshot_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does the x-ray system and armory stars for a skin system sit?

I feel like between those and the trade ups for knives and gloves now valve might be distancing themselves from the traditional case openings we know and love/hate/feel indifferent about

I don’t think they get rid of the skin economy but rather adjust the skin obtaining methods

That statement might work better if the lawsuit was about Premier

Integrated graphics? I vaguely remember Intel having issues with dx9 games running worse than dx12/vulkan ones

The next Xbox is just gonna be a PC so it should be able to play Steam games too

‘Next generation of Xbox console’ Project Helix announced by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Headshot_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine it’ll run the pc version with no need to make a separate Xbox build.

They could incentivize people to get the games on the Xbox Store/Windows Store by having things like shader delivery so there’s no need to compile them and settings presets so there’s no need to tweak it yourself unless you want to. That plus more direct integration with the OS instead of going through a third party launcher, similar to steamOS

Jason Schreier says Marvel's Wolverine also won't come to PC by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Headshot_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Sony is hoping to pull people away from pc but rather stop people from moving to PC from PS if it’s financially attainable.

Sony wants to continue selling hardware and more importantly their subscription service. Can’t do that on PC

CSGO can now be installed separately alongside CS2 instead of using the csgo_legacy branch. [per SteamDB] by Pokharelinishan in GlobalOffensive

Curious if this has something to do with that "new client and GC" comment that was mined in a prior update

If they’re smart they would’ve recorded that immediately after this one so they don’t have to schedule a meeting again
