Trying to fight piracy like this is just an endless game of whack-a-mole. Countries should not be wasting time with laws, let the corporations suffer until they provide a better product.
Discs have just been a physical license key for a long time now. It's kind of wasteful to even ship discs and the plastic cases anymore, some kind of little card with a chip on would suffice.
DOOM 2016 captured the essence of the originals with some added systems, but they never felt too invasive. Eternal threw that out the window, seems like this is the same. Just more AAA slop for insane prices.
It sucks but CO missed its opportunity. It's a mod that's been in development seemingly forever. The main guy was constantly making side projects with no updates on CO. Another project called CS Legacy was announced recently and then all of a sudden we hear from CSCO. Apparently CSCO submitted a build in October last year though, but still, it feels like they sat on the project until something else forced them to get a move on.
It's supported by the mod developer. Minecraft is relevant because of it's huge modding scene, mods literally make the game. So I don't see why "official" support for a feature really matters here. It's perfectly fine to say VR is still supported on real Minecraft.
Aha, pretty sure it's just an ROG Ally 2 but with an Xbox button, Microsoft probably just did some software tweaks/optimisation to try and compete with SteamOS.
If it's websites that are breaking, maybe you are using some really aggressive blocklist. Also, you can use multiple blocklists and assign clients to them however you please.
There's plenty of "it doesnt need to be new" in the industry, I think it's refreshing Valve take a different approach. If none of them felt like they could continue the series without sacrificing quality or they just lost interest then there is nothing wrong with them stopping it. Yeah it sucks for fans who wanted more, but a good franchise being halted is better than one being milked.
I dont think they care about money at all, there's probably loads of projects started and stopped internally at Valve, it's how the company runs. They could print money by releasing a new Half Life game, they know that, it's just not something they want to work on right now.
I think surviving a fire is more important than someone seeing your naked body.
