It would need to be open-source and using only open APIs when talking to the system. This isn’t happening any time soon

Valve really appears as the woke gaming authority that single handed progresses the industry

Nah, they just have a software platform instead of hardware one

They dished out a huge flop - there’s no way this will pay the production cost

If from poster alone you can tell they failed to capture characters, you know it’s bad

It will be $7.99 - look it’s so much less than $175, so much cheaper!

/s

This is the same problem as with coastline length - the higher resolution you’ll use, the bigger the number you’ll get. AFAIK this is solved by just standarization of calculation methods - there’s just certain rounding to be applied in all cases so you get a comparable results

Because it’s rigged against you. US has the most expensive health care in the world - It’s not natural, this is crafted oligopoly to gouge the prices

You better provide him that lifetime supply of tuna

Is there some unseen advantage to keeping game logic and framerate tied together

Simplicity. AFAIK all first gen GameBoy games were frame rate tied - overclocking the cpu causes all games to run faster, but you could squeeze a lot more into a very limited device

What do you want them to do? Switch to Unreal?

Yep. Unreal is more than capable doing everything they need

They just did with Starfield’s Creation Engine 2.0, which fixed or improved 90% of their engine issues

It’s the most unoptimized engine out there. It’s performance is horrible. And Starfield couldn’t even achieve loading screen free planet surface landing like No Man’s Sky, or Star Citizen

If they had to switch now? Unreal Engine.

But what they should do years ago, is to use engineering expertise of IdSoftware they own to create their own engine tailored to their needs.

Creation Engine is great

It’s objectively not. It was great back when Oblivion came out

oblivion, Skyrim, morrowind

Back then their games were good. But it was long, long time ago.

Their games are shit - Starfailed was garbage, Fallout 3 and 4 are running on the same engine designed for… Oblivion 20 years ago. They can’t write jack shit, and the optimization is a joke.

I hope they go bankrupt

Also it doesn’t suffer from tin plague so much

Anarchists can organize just fine.

Organized anarchism isn’t anarchism anymore.

Now if what you want to argue is that detached highly concentrated power is capable of ordering atrocities and enforcing people to commit the atrocities in their name? Then yes they absolutely have the advantage.

I’m not talking about just the atrocities. I’m talking bare economic efficiency - bunch of organized people are doing things faster and with lower amount of effort - and they will inevitably use that advantage to increase their standards of living. Suddenly you have an inequality.

Of course this issue encompasses also efficiency of criminal activity - organized crime pays more than not organized crime.

But the end result in both cases is the same - some people are better off than others

In short I strictly disagree with the statement:

in terms of actually doing the business of the people and governing. No there is no advantage.

I think it’s possible to get very close

My problem with this, is that organized groups have always advantage over disorganized groups, whether in crime or in legit manufacturing/services. You have neverending growth of these groups into social classes. The closer you want to get to classless society, the harder and more oppressive you have to go against that social phenomena. And I’ve never seen a good explanation who would enforce the laws keeping the society close to that “classless” state

With my social skills, and empathy, I’m pretty sure it would end up with more suicides, not less.

Question: Do you think that stateless and classless society is sustainable and won’t evolve into a regular one?

And real communism isn’t communism XD
