It’s not bad but, is not like she’s making some huge sacrifice either. I think she’ll manage to live off the 100+ billion dollars she has left.

in the United States*

There are other countries that manage taxes just fine.

I wonder why there’s no Pacific NATO equivalent. China seems on the brink of invading a different country like every week.

But… that’s the exact opposite of what actually happened. The PSN requirement was so buggy they had to disabled it for the game to work.

Yeah I read about that later but, I’m still not clear on a few things. Did Arrowhead literally ignore that part? I assumed that there was a technical issue preventing Arrowhead from adding the PSN requirement from being added that has recently been fixed?

Second, releasing the game in countries that don’t have access to PSN, was that done maliciously by Arrowhead as well? I also assumed the publisher would of handled the Steam listing, if not was Arrowhead attempting some sort of protest of their own trying to force Sony hand. Or is Arrowhead just incompetent lol?

Did they? If the game is owned and published by Sony what part did Arrowhead play. I’m not saying you’re wrong, I genuinely don’t know. Like doesn’t the publisher(Sony) handle all of this?

I didn’t think that’s necessarily true. They were contracted to make the game by Sony and when they started probably had no idea it would even be sold on PC.

If you live by a Micro Center, their house brand is pretty good.

So Russia can put nuclear weapons by the Polish boarder but, if Poland has nucs that’s when things start to get dangerous lol

These are legit.

I think it’s also important to note that not one current or former LMG employee has come out disputing any of Madisons claims. On the other hand, Linus (or LMG) had been caught lying as per the Gamers Nexus reporting.

No, she never named anyone specifically afaik. LMG isn’t so large that she didn’t have access to speak with Linus directly though. Also multiple former LMG employees corroborated everything she said about her experience working there.

Are you RA tech?

Multiple former LTT employees corroborated everything she said.

It did not matter if I spoke to someone with evidence of an abuse of power, or inappropriate workplace behavior, it was considered tattle taling.

I was actually called a tattle tale

Here’s an example from Germany

Here’s an example from France.

Here an example in the UK.

Only 10% of games are verified for Stream OS, with 40% being listed as unsupported. I’m pretty sure Valve is more focused on stability for Steam OS, switching to ARM only complicates things at the moment. Once they have that figured out they can consider ARM. The games that work on ARM now do so because of developer support, most games aren’t supported yet.

I’m not saying it’s impossible, of course it is. It’s just not the time for the Steam Deck to switch to ARM, SD 3 sounds like a reasonable time to consider it.

1. Kind of I guess. Reviewers where allowed to run specific benchmarks approved by Qualcomm on laptops specifically made for Qualcomm at the launch event, not consumer models.
2. What games run in ARM today? I’m not aware of any games that run nativly on ARM, meaning games would need to be emulate from Windows to Linux, then from x86 to ARM. Not ideal.
3. And we still don’t have a price. The APU in the Steam Deck is a budget chip, if the X Elite is really 2x the competition Qualcomm will likely be charging almost 2x the price
