I think the flags exist, its just not implemented yet as AMD is being pushed to get it out sooner than later due to the long delays. But in a state where it isnt an abysmal feature (e.g DLSS 1.0)

The point is it's playerbases are in a similar tier in size. Of course its your opinion that battlebit is better (and is mine too), but that doesnt stop the idea that there are plenty of people playing 2042 now (especially vs launch). I have a friend who has both games, but when hes playing alone, he more often boots up battlefield more often then battlebit, and he spends a LOT of time playing those games more tham the rest of his library.

As a person working e-waste, a working 6tb drive wouldnt make it out loose. The drive would have to be either dead and recycled, wiped and sold, or destroyed on customers request.

I dont believe fluid frames reuires motion vectors as a hard requirement, else the driver level option where you force a game to use the function would never work (which is a feature).

However so far, fluid frames is only available on DX11 and DX12 titles, so many emulators would not have acess to the option. Switch emulation, and PS3 emulation which would need it the most, dont use directx

As much as i can enjoy battlebit, you arent giving battlefield enough credit

The populations of the games at the current moment arent even that far off, Battlebit is at 8k, 2042 is at 5k+whatever the number plays on origin.

Battlefield has a LONG history of always releasing in a shit start and getting better overtime. This trend has happened for the past several games (since after 3 I believe)

Thats the main goal imo. Theyre not teying to compete with the high end devices, all of them will likely download steam and give Valve money anyways. Valve always targets on expanding the market, with vr and such. The Steam Deck exists to expand the market to budget pc console like gaming, and it would not make sense to replace it now.

Valve I dont believe sees it like a cellphone where theyre trying to make more money by doing yearly releases. They arent a hardware company fundamentally. They only develop hardware as a means to expand market, not to make profit directly off of.

Its why virtually none of their hardware projects are bog standard, be it steam machine/deck(Linux market), index/vive (VR), Controller (touchpad, HD Rumble), Link(local streaming) as each project was designed to introduce pc gaming to a new market, or expand pc gaming by adding new features

Imo microsoft is trying to pump gamepass sub numbers and supposedly its not enough (despite the size). I think they will consider merging the World of Warcraft sub to gamepass to boost sub count for the investors.

The last line is the condition to making linux work. Like hackintochs, its very hardware specific, and switching over to linux means an average user has to make concessions.

E.g for nvidia users, they have to conceed that some of their features normally available to them on windows will not work on linux, and get inferior driver support.

The hardware is there, but the market may not. Take for example, people on console are significantly more willing to pay for a game to play. Mobile is the oppisite (where paid games barely get buyers unless its top cut (e.g minecraft, terraria, stardew valley)and people play F2P games instead)

Resident evil is capcom testing the water for higher end mobile gaming.

Well, that and Apple has a history of not supporting the open standard graphics APIs, requiring devs to do more work in order to port on Apple Devices(well this is more in particular apple on laptop/desktop where molten is a requirment) ios iirc has support for vulkan.

The internet and social media makes it harder to cover up any shady dealing, no matter what it is. Back then, if you can avoid getting on the newspaper/TV, most people wouldnt know what a group did.

What AC does in essence. A heat pump moves hot air from one area to another. Heatpumps are bi directional(thus heat or cool by fliping direction of airflow) AC is technically single directional, and some people mistaken Heatpumps for AC.

For typical uses, ACs are setup to remove heat inside and push it outside. If an AC can also be used as a heater, then its probably not AC (or it probably is a combo unit). Heat pumps dont have that problem.

Example of a utility that uses the same concept as AC is a refrigerator. It regulates temps with a compressor inside to move heat from inside to out, but never the reverse.

I could see reasons youd own a truck, but a car, who knows.

Its not the first dev to do it. E.g FF7R intergrade chapter was PS5 only.

Supply side jesus is always one of the funniest figures to exist.

If addiction is a problem, should the general use of caffine be banned then? Thats why its kinda odd to specifically ban nicotine.

Choosing to ban specifically nicotine and not caffine is as silly as the idea that cigarettes should be legal but weed shouldnt.

You get to use the cars screen vs using your phone as a screen (which is statistically smaller).

Auto/Carplay UI is also optimized for driver with better legible text and fewer auxillary buttons that could distract you from driving.

And who are you going to trust more updating the car software experience, 2 companies who is in the business of making full fledged operating systems and software, vs a car manufacturer whose software division miniscule compared to the big companies.

Car companies essentially have 0 history of offering a good software experience. Why would anyone trust them now. Its like the Nintendo paid online stuff. Why would you trust Nintendo to have a better online experience if its paid when they have 0 history of actually making it good. Its just there to dime you for subscription money.

Car conpanies want to sell you subscriptions to services, and killing off carplay/auto would do that.

Need a gps? you either use your phone screen to navigate with audio or be forced to use their navigation service on the hud.

The U.S solar panels are usually made within country, so it wouldnt show up in that graph

Cant say for canada or latin america though.

Microsoft can keep it up because they own their CDN. They dont have to pay a 3rd party company for upkeep.

They actually got more subs (in most countries), its just that theyre bloating up, and compeition is happening which atm is making for a better or worse depending on how you look at it, situation for the consumer.
