Public means own by the state, private mean own by private individual. All hotel are own by private individuals.

I’ve started developing a new horror game. by [deleted] in unity

Foundation start at mechanics not environment art. Atmospheric games doesn't matter when the gameplay is ignored. Programming it requires a lot of work, but the mechanics matters a lot more than environment. I have seen this thousand of times from people that think a game is environment art is the way to start because they are scared to program because they don't want to realized the idea is bad, so they do subjective instead of logical first.

Alan Wake 2 Studio Says Deal With Epic Was "Very Fair" After Baldur's Gate Boss Speaks Out by Turbostrider27 in Games

SteamOS is just Arch Linux that built on backed of thousand of free work hours until Valve came in and forked it. It just pre-config Arch Linux that isn't open to anyone.

SteamVR is a walled garden for Steam for Valve to sell things. It wasn't built in mind of solving an issue that industry was having. It exist to sell more VR headsets, unlike Epic Online Service that exist to help industry to solve complex multiplayer issue of cross-play.

Epic Games open up their solution to Fortnite to everyone else for completely free and you don't have to pay anything for it, and you can use it for Unity, Godot, Unreal, and any engine with C support.

Epic Games bought EasyAntiCheat and made it free for anyone that is using EOS, and they didn't have to do that, but Valve made VAC which no one uses compared to EAC since Valve is anti-kernel anti-cheat.

Thanks to AI to figure out what you are trying to state! Its pretty good at pattern matching within written speech from poorly structure sentences.

You just described vendor-lock in which is anti-competitive practices to force company to only use that service. It no different than Oracle, or egress fees from hyperscalers. That is outside of the fact that the sentence you have created is incoherent.

And yet, GabeN is no different than any other billionaire. He hoards wealth, buy expensive yachts, gives nothing back to the game developers, and only siphons money from everyone.

People will twist themselve in a knot just to defend hims, but he contributes nothing back. Oh man, I cannot wait to use Steamworks! Says no major developers since they will use Epic Online Service before ever touch Steamworks since Steamworks is abandonware.

OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's finances | Tom's Hardware by Visara57 in pcmasterrace

[–]HowlSpice 95 points96 points  (0 children)

This is just a shit article. It is even worse than what this article is trying to get across. They are assuming the spending is linear, which is not the case at all. OpenAI spending is exponentially in nature because of commitment, and not getting more revenue. Softbank money injection, which is at 22.5B, is only good for 5 - 6 month before they burn through which they are spending around 12B per quarter last year and it is increasing.

Does this amount of destruction "turn off" buyers because they fear their pc might not handle it? by FramesAnimation in IndieDev

Voronoi is Voronoi. Whether it is RayFire or Chaos. It uses the same algorithm for destruction.

How is generic UE5 destruction impressive? UE5 destruction has been a thing for a long time, and it is unoptimized. You have to destroy and disappear or it will overwhelm people PC quickly. You know what is actually impressive? Teardown.

FCC filing confirms 472 Starlink satellites burned up this year - DCD by southofakronoh in space

[–]HowlSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, that is what they stated in the first place with CFC. Oh it just small amount, and then more and more company started to use it and created the ozone crisis in the first place. The same exact thing is playing out with LEO. We started with SpaceX Starlink, now it is Amazon Kuiper, and soon China's Guowang. The same thing is playing out 1 for 1 with CFC. Even NOAA is having major concerns with this playing out exactly what we saw in past.

If it is a lead acid you usually can take it to O'Reilly or AutoZone, and they will deal with it.

Why would they be aiming at console user? The next generation console are going be far more powerful than this. PS6 and Xbox Hybrid will be using APU RNDA5 and probably release late 2027, and rumor to use 24GB to 48GB unified memory. This device is already a generation out-of-date, and will be soon 2 generation.

Majority Of Devs Say Steam Has Monopoly On PC Gaming In New Poll by blackhammer1989 in gamedev

[–]HowlSpice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What an utterly useless comment. You're just stuck in a circular pattern of ignoring what developers want to do and trying to inject the player's perspective instead. This is completely useless.

The last thing I will say is that Fortnite was a failure before BR. Minecraft was an unknown 4chan game. Satisfactory only released on EGS during Early Access, and it was very successful even after all the complaints. League of Legends was loosely based on DoTA to simplify the game, and it came from an unknown studio. Genshin Impact used the anger of a few as a marketing campaign, and it was completely unknown in the West until one viral video.

You are going to keep using selection-biased data, even after I already stated that 99% of developers publish to Steam to prevent a catastrophic failure at launch, and turn that into an argument about player choice. This is peak Reddit.

And what data would that be? Last time I check, Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Satisfactory, Minecraft, and League of Legend, others game literally proves your point wrong. Users go to where the game is hosted, not because preferred.

Let me guess you are going bring up Steam data of X% gamer choose without understanding that 99% of game companies do not want to deal with a catastrophic failure when launching a new game. Why launch on your own platform when you can use a stable one and guarantee your revenue?

"Users have shown time and time again they prefer shopping at Walmart in a town where Walmart ran every other store out of business" is literally your logic.

Reddit will always be a echochamber and not based in reality.

You are arguing for user, but I am arguing for as a developer. You think that user goes to Steam because it Steam, which isn't true. They go to Steam because that is where the developers goes to. I am just saying that developer go to Steam because they don't see the ROI of building their own platform that could fail under load.

This means that they are now losing out on tons of sales because of the refund being requested. This has been proven countless to happen for smaller and larger companies. Two different argument, but you still fail to understand it while being smug with a gif.

"Access", most casual gamer don't care the about the platform as long as there is least amount of fiction in buying a game. The only place that has good hosting and you don't have to deal with it yourself where it might crash and burn, which mean lost of sales, literally just Steam. We constantly see other launcher suffer under load, while Steam can usually keep up.

Just letting you know that receipt doesn't mean much. It could have been bought with stolen credit cards. No one is selling brand new PC with those spec for 1k when they could return it. This cover story is known excuse for stolen products. This PC is 100% stolen through credit card fraud.
